Well, perhaps you can pull a SPARKY and run two engines - I REALLY need to get this 948 out of the cedar chest . . .

We could use the 948 as a starter motor for the JAP.....

This is getting savagely out-of-hand.................

aw, cripes , what's that Dulux rattle can doin' there......you're not planning on painting anything are you :-o


And for all you duck hunters that seat with the clearly displayed name of an Italian manufacturer on it is a very very neat 450 single .......my dearly departed dog Ollie had a good set of ears and would recognize ANY of my friends vehicles , but when that thing turned up she would go absolutely crazy, she could hear something in it....

Ollie was particularly fond of humping the Colonel's leg......but the barking was demonic

OK B.O.T

I just received a series of phone calls from a certain photographer who is leaning on me something severe to attend a certain salt racing event....... I am currently undergoing a cardiac event.....

He's already hired a car


someone is going to kill me.... :roll:

That's great news, you've got to go!

The Colonel is going... perfect planning for NEXT year (yes I read your report of not going next year but things only happen when you commit to them happening...)

What, no jealous emoticon?

Yeah, that's always a tough one, and requires thoughtful phrasing.

Here's one that doesn't work . . .

"Honey, when you were tidying up, did you perchance stumble across my passport?"

Well, this is great news - the 948 will fit in the overhead . . . 8-)
