I don't know a lot about Blue Ammonia as I haven't researched it much as I don't like a one source fuel, Saudi Oil companies have our balls in a big enough vice as it is. Problem with hydrogen is infrastructure same as electric was and to some degree still is. I did get passed some information a few weeks ago that was interesting however. A company has developed a hydrogen genertaing plant in a few shipping containers, idea is they will be deployed to existing fuel stations and generate hydrogen on site.Quote:

I apologise for the somewhat brief visit, we had intended to spend more time and maybe even get a tour of supershed but with the traffic as it was maybe another time. I will keep in touch.

RON HILL—BILLY DON PRUET—BILL SIROIS —BOB NORDSKOG —-JOHNNY SANDERS——BILL PETTY —- all of them pretty huge individuals . It was pissing down at the time —— we went fifty yards upstream under a bridge and did fuel stops in the dry .Quote:

Had a good day working on the offshore cat . Did the connecting bar and another polish . It is beginning to look like somebody loves it.
Hells teeth its Thursday again already—over halfway through summer and its car boot day !!!! Talked to my son MARK last night —-told me he is coming to see me in August and we will go to Cowes for the COWES/TORQUAY race together.
Started on the twin outboard version of an offshore racer — not sure how it will pan out — but until you try , you will never know . Will take a progress pickie now and again.
Can’t decide whether or not to put a gearcase and prop on this ——- its only a concept trophy !!!!!!!!Quote:

Thursday night around 5-45pm i received a phone call from “THE TECH TEAM” — we are just leaving Goodwood and will be with you in five minutes ——AN HOUR AND A HALF LATER — at 7-15 there was a knock on the door and a very tall, well built lad was standing on the doorstep holding this picture . Traffic leaving Goodwood was insane . Consequently he would not come inside and we shot the breeze for oll of two minutes .
daughter Sam is having the picture professionally cleaned —-mounted and reframed using modern technology. It is the launch of the Cosworth at lake Windermere on the last run of the week at the WINDERMERE RECORD WEEK.!!!
