Started to finish off some of my concepts ———this is the European or world wide F1 series trophy i made .
Rich thinks i should call it THE BILLY trophy— so to save arguments. I made another .similar -but better , if i get time i will post a piccie tomorrow
Hows the decals coming along for my omc f1 V8 record boat?
I‘m in PROMISE LAND with that one Pilgrim i do have a pair of MERT‘S RECORD BOATs awaiting the same fate .Quote:

Now its over a year since i did the three BEDFORD DAVEY/GARY GARBRECHT RECORD BOATS—- they have languished under the bench since then due to lack of livery. Keeping the MERT boats company.
So, i have devised a cunning plan— Jeff has two young grand daughters [two and three years old] i have just acquired a traditional authentic rocking horse ?????????? If you see where i am headed .
I am hoping to have a couple of these ready for the OFF meeting in November—i will keep you IN THE LOOP as they say these days !!

Todays on going concept is a slim line outrageous offshore tunnel bearing only a passing resemblance to any factual boat.

Thats the GUIDO CAPELLINI effort ?????
Attachment 509335
This is THE BILLY effort —but im afraid it will be too late for this years championship.
When i tell you SUPERSHED is just over a year old and its bursting at the seams with concepts over and under the bench —- purpose made storage space is full to busting —its so bad i have three switzer wings [original wooden concepts] @ £150 apiece . I just need ‚em gone to make way for all the new clutter thats coming along.Attachment 509339

Forgotten all about this Italian RIVA racer from last year ——thats what happens to‘em when i get another idea !!!!!!!
Attachment 509341
Couple of the GARBRECHT/DAVEY RECORD BOATS. And another of MERTS hydros——-all from under the bench
Attachment 509343 Some of you will recognise this Burgess —-thats it in a corner gathering dust—i occasionally chuck whatever im doing and mad at —at that particular moment in the same corner !!! Have no bloody idea what happened there —— ONE DAY S&FNWILL SIMPLIFY THE SYSTEM AND MAKE IT EASY FOR DOPEYN OLD FARTS LIKE ME TO USE ????????
All my grandkids in the usa like Miles Jennings —Even Mark and Gary reckon he‘s an ok sort of chap, nobody says a bad word about him which made me even more careful and aware when i first met him. He comes across as a really laid back 63 year old who jets off round the world on a weekly basis racing class one power boats with a drop dead gorgeous girl friend . Always turns left when he gets on an aircraft.
His home is in the county of DEVON when he‘s HOME, which is often but for fleeting moments only.
He has one of the latest feck off European RV‘s —only 30 feet long but believe me its got everything the latest American counterpart has and more !!!!!!!
I watched him race the COWES/TORQUAY/COWES Race on UTUBE and realised of all the boats out there his was the only one under control .
He was trimmed absolutely right —- didnt look like he was up and down on the buttons all the time —thought he was a tad front heavy — but hey what the hell do i know about offshore ?????????
I never did get to thank him for my invitation to the hallowed halls . It was just total chaos for me [not for him]. From the time the trip was mentioned —the getting to the island — changing into the monkey suit in the nick of time ——-the dinner —seeing my friends who i hadn‘t seen in fifty years .
Then in no time at all being told i had half an hour to get to the fast cat ferry terminal or i was stuck on the island overnight .
Altogether made possible by MILES JENNINGS — yup -HE IS THE REAL THING .
