A screwdriver and a 10 mm spanner -----a touch of patience-------a spattering of common sense and a modicum of skill and you could have it in the bath !!Quote:

How do like those apples Johnno ?
Got a feeling you might like that particular one------buggered if I know what to do with the others, not much call for ROTORIES these days !
Do not even think about having your friend deliver the whisky here, it won't taste the same unless I get it straight from the horses mouth, (so to speak). Let's do it at Tavares.
Those are great! I want one.

Told you I wanted to do a "Red Tunnel" concept------it's not like any other tunnel ever built, won't be calling it "little Red" and pissing Butler right off, anyway it's at least five times prettier than any of the Twistercrafts (still pug ugly). Only putting a straight six on it Mike, was tempted to put steering and pullies etc. But just put a steering bar and gear case on it, should be finished tomorrow!
On the bench right there are eight wings and tunnels, I could take 'em down to the village pond here and have a mini Havasu or PARKER?
Thats it for the next week or so, taking a break crack-o-sparrow 4:30 am Wednesday----give you a shout before I go, meanwhile get some rest, MYGGWY.J.
The mantel is cleared... and don't forget to sign it!
So Jackie, looking at the shape of the front cowl on your Red Moli .. it actually does look rather Twistercraft-ish.. and it isn't pu-gly! May not have been something you deliberately set out to do but by some strange Twist (ercraft) of Fate, the reality became a concept - if that makes any sense.. ;0)
Finally there is someone out there who can ramble like me, or is it like a highly contagious disease and spreads rapidly, then everything makes sense.Quote:

Doubt if anyone can understand the satisfaction I get when an idea comes together and I can surprise a few of my friends, I did get a big kick out of the ROTORIES before getting it half right, thought the decal I got my son in law to do was a touch of class.
Little Jeff took a long time with his scalpel cutting the decal to a perfect fit, was only when I stuck the power head back on the steering arm I realised it was on arse backwards-----sometimes you eat bear!!!
. rushing to fit the motor on the red tunnel last thing , thought I could get away without pre drilling when fiting the gear case---big mistake, split the stubby leg clean in two, glued it back together and left it in the vice overnight .Todays first job.
This time tomorrow we should be in Seville, heading for Grenade where the Alhambra Palace is situated---you too could be getting a bit of culture any time soon. Am taking the Kodak and the iPad----is there no escape from the ramblings ?
The snow is just gone Jack! if you looked around could probably find enough for a good snowball fight! the lake ice will likely be gone in a couple days. When you look out and it's turned from white to blue winking at you in the sun makes you realize your another year older!Ok, enough of that ****!
Maybe in the pool, but not up the shore, still thick as all except in some narrows.

No worries Johnno, I got it covered, am prepared for cock ups and mitigating circumstances !

Don' t know if anyone is interested in a concept ROTORY but let's have a bit of an auction here, don't think it's been done before, I have one bid of $200, any advance?
Somewhere in the depths of my memory---I seem to remember an old guy who used to sport the number 7------can't remember his name, just wonder if any of you out there remember him ?
Obviously not?.
3 am , taken my pill, got my cuppa. Leave for Gatwick in 22 minutes.
Off on another adventure!
