Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

I hit it at least 3 or 4 times a day...I don't enter too much in the way of script because I cant complete with you high steppers for detail and experience

but most days it leaves me with a smile on my face, so somebodies doing the right thing.

Phill.

Isnt that what it's all about Phill------putting a smile on a face somewhere ?
I think a lot of folk like remembering the past, specially the good times, that's ok just so long as they don't get stuck in the trap of "Memory Lane"--------

Just face timed Mark ------will not be at Clearwater Bob, working on the boat all weekend, it's the final push, nearly ready for launching !

Just one day left for me to clear up the shop------finish off all the odd jobs that need doing----clean up and "winterise" the machinery.
Wednesday were off on an autumn break-------four days on lake Garda then on to Venice to board the Cunard Queen Victoria for seven nights.
been a very turbulent year for Jilly------she deserves a break.

For all you golfing old farts that are partaking in the golf tourney at Zellwood station I made a rather special trophy for the winning TEAM.
Its the quick release spinner off'n a D TYPE JAGUAR ----I just turned up a boxwood base for it------didn't have time to take a piccy of the finished article------but here's one I took earlier of it without its final base.

Inscription on it says "Right side"​ ---- how appropriate.

They were RH and LH threads depending on which side they were for. At lease my Corvette ones were.

[jackiewilson]

This one is for the right hand side Roger with a left hand thread-------solid brass, but it's not off a D Type------they were all three pronged------just like yours !

No, not really Dave! Just the colonials trying to improve what's already "PURFICK".
