Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

That damned white stuff been coming down all day long but hasn’t really settled any.
Had a couple of hours sprottling in the shop, but my nose was like a dripping tap and my nuts were freezing. Was glad when the child minder yelled “Lunch time”.
If it was June it would be 80 degrees——— but it’s not, it’s February in England and it’s zero degrees and bloody cold. How the hell people can live in Chicago and Minisota, let alone Alaska and Vancouver where this stuff is deemed “acceptable” beggars belief.

Can tell you right now——if it’s like this tomorrow, I’m not getting out from under the sheets. I’ll settle for some lie in time——— , my body needs the rest .
Started getting the “dropsies “ late afternoon——— decided to call it a day around 4:30, heart was no longer in it, fingers gone dead, nose dripping, eyes watering, I’m done!
I-got a biggy lined up in front of me——— Jilly has taken Lizzie back home and the fires chucking out some serious therms———all set for a great evening at home.

None of the damned white stuff settled, thank goodness, but right now it’s six below and it’s not going to reach above freezing at all today————- light flurries all day with the heavy falls forecast for Thursday. Craig’s due to fly in Thursday morning Crack-O-Sparrow arrives Gatwick. With this forecast and a tight schedule———- might be best to call the whole trip.
Only thing that’s really urgent is my six inch Velcro discs and Close Up toothpaste, nothing that can’t wait ! Plus he’s busy as buggery back at home in Florida——— Paris can wait !
Doctor needs to see me 9:00 am—— only for a check up, make sure the heart’s still beating and I got a pulse and blood pressures up to muster——— nothing of any consequence!

Dont you believe it Pilgrim——- lived in the South of France for Eleven Years———- five in Avignon and six in the fishing village of Bouzigues——- right on the waters of the Etang Du Thau which runs directly into the Mediterranean.
We had more snow and icy winds———— bloody MISTRALS that can last three, six, or even nine days, and cut through the valley like a scimitar than we ever had in the south of England————- but then again————I have had my Christmas dinner up on the terrace in shirtsleeves, so it wasn’t all bad !
Again, we were a tad west of Marseille——— only by a whisker. !MONTPELLIER.

Marseille to Nice has a micro climate.
Always warmer.
Have been in shirt sleeves in Antibes whilst its snowing in portafino

Heard it all before——- lived the dream—— been stuck in 8”” Of snow at the border in Ventamiglia with three Torriggia,s, one on the roof——— and a double decker trailer—— two tunnels and a V bottom. Snow lasted from Como to Calais——— sick to my tits with “ MICRO CLIMATES”——- it’s only in the minds of pundits and wannabe authors!
Palm trees grow in Bradford but they don’t claim micro climate——- you’ve heard the old adage “ one swallow don’t make a summer “ ——— just because they had a mild winter along the coast from Nice to Marseille in 1873 didn’t give it the right to MICRO CLIMATE status———- I can tell you after eleven years in that neck of the woods————-IT DOES NOT HAVE IT ANY MORE!

Ventimiglia is the cold side of Nice
The first full winter I did there I kept looking at the temp gradient on the forecast and it just showed a large warm area from Nice to Marseille, hence the property prices I guess?
Shirts off on the boat yet we could see the snow where you could ski
Appealed to Mick Jagger...

Once had a little tiny black sprint Molinari——- raced it at the idriscala in Milan ———- had a photo of it with the alps in the back ground covered in snow———- one of the nicest shots I ever saw ——— never told me how much a faberge egg was in St. Petersburg.

Shoulda done like I said and stayed in bed——— Jesus wept, but we don’t get many days this cold in England. Q

Jackie... Would you like to give your listeners your opinions on the new Lexus it is the hybrid yes?.....What is the Road Tax on it...has it got a sunroof?

Look Phill, I am not and have no intentions of being a bloody self opinionated Clarkson ?
The old Trusty Lexus was the finest car I ever owned by a country mile———- and but for an over zealous lady pensioner would have seen me out. However, due to mitigating circumstances and as there are no pockets in a shroud, it became circumvent to invest in a vehicle far beyond my pay grade,——— A 450 H LEXUS F SPORT . A marvel of modern engineering and car technology——- does about double the MPG the old 350 did. Everything about is far more advanced than the previous one———— by some ten years. Road Tax concession means it’s only £140 PA.
No, it doesn’t have a sun roof——— but if I’m honest—— I never used it on the 350!
It sits on 19” wheels and is in permanent 4 wheel drive——- which is just fine and dandy for taking the kids to school.
Pity it’s a JAPONICA ————— but the wars been over some 78 years now——- times moved on——- I’ve grown wiser——-the west learned very little, but I’ve got a very nice jam jar.

Jesus wept Gene——— don’t do that to me———- it’s already ten below here, and you send me that white stuff——— we got enough of our own coming in tomorrow.

NA,NA,NA,NA,NAH,——- never came did it———- dumb assed forecasters got it wrong AGAIN !
Another nut freezingly cold night but upon raising the curtains this morning, hardly a dusting of the dreadful stuff, so I looked up the BBC weather forecast on the dot-dot, and it’s all set for Friday morning. (Well, so it says, at the minute, I’m full of “no confidence “.)

Craig arrived at London Gatwick around 6:30am this morning——- might get to see him as there’s not much snow about, (panic sets in when a snow cloud appears over southern England, everywhere gets gridlocked).
Nearly got Reggies record attempt boat ready for Craig to take back to Marks office———- needed to get a wriggle on———- and keep it Quiet in case of a non event. Sometimes YOU EAT BEAR !
Not exactly rushing out of bed this morning——— it’s starvation and saturation day——— no food for 36 Hours and drink a half pint of water on the hour every hour. Plus the added excitement of a half bottle of unknown elixir at 10:00 hours—— ( keeping the john in close proximity at all times) life’s like a box of chocolates innit ?
You could get well pissed off with my ramblings and fan tings today——— short of picking up a book and reading another load of nonsense by an already wealthy author, I don’t have a lot to do today, so I may do a memory recall and see if I can electrify Willabee into disagreeing over my memoirs at some point.
Shower, glass of water time——- I’ll tell you his first comment for free, TOO MUCH INFORMATION.

Spoke with Dave Brockington yesterday at his home in france he had guests staying with him and he said they wanted to go in the swimming pool but was 4 inch deep in snow so I told him to grease them up first. He is coming over for the London powerboat race and is booked on the sunborn cruise ship along with the Bullens I told him you might be there.We have around 4 inch of snow at my end of town keep your shovel ready.

Phill, with all the snot and crap that’s flying about with the RYA AND UIM ——- I wouldn’t bet the farm on there being a London race right now———- saving booking anything until the weekend of the race.
If and when !
Will be great to see the Bullen boys again——- all my girls will be there if they turn up.
The scimitar with the two litre Cosworth in it was one of the nicest, most honest boats I ever raced, certainly shook both OMC and Mercury up big time in Amsterdam 1974.
Keep your FECKIN snow Phill it’s near 10:00 hours—— trying hard—— colder than charity, but going nowhere.

I hear several countries have left the UIM re jet ski's over to this crowd

I find it quite amazing that Carl Kiekhaefer took Mercury from nothing to be a leading contender in the world of outboards.
Everyone outside Mercury loves to throw sh-t at them——— OMC hated them with a passion, why, because they came from nowhere——— upset the the bloody apple cart——— stole markets——- that’s not supposed to happen !
How did they do that ?
America is a nation of sportsmen——-Racing is sport——- Carl went racing !
During the racing years Mercury dominated and grew from strength to strength and bigger and bigger.
Accountants and board members and directors never quite understood the significance of racing and the role it played in the making of the company———- were always quick to deride the expenditure because the benefits could never be seen on any balance sheet. Carl of course was always too busy inventing and pushing product to be bothered to explain.
Without the foundation and heritage of Mercury Hi- Performance, Its Engineers, Developers,Risk Takers, Gamblers and not least, it’s race drivers———— Mercury would not be the great company it is today !
Sadly OMC never made it——-which is a great pity——- maybe because the competition stopped—— I don’t know, I’m only guessing.
It gives me no pleasure to see the once great name of EVINRUDE being hawked around the streets of Scandinavia in the hope of finding a buyer————— it deserved better than that.
So ,Pilgrim——- maybe the Nipponese Nevewong are simply doing a “Kiekhaever”.this time round with the Squirt boats.

The Japs have wiped the floor with Merc and OMC without going racing, they also noticed there is a rest of the world outside of the USA.
If you think Merc came from nowhere re OMC then the Japs dropped in from outer space and in 30 years overtook both.

(Canadians are as big as the Japs in jet ski's and sleds I think?)
Merc and OMC always told me ( from the 70's), no market for Jet skis and they make too much noise so will be banned worldwide soon, DOH, they both had a global marine dealership network and designed marine 2 strokes and they both had sleds.
Sad, but they both blew it.

Too busy slugging it out with each other to see the main competition———- was it ever so———- wood for trees etc. Was always trying to nick each other’s top brass and score ofn each other——- shoulda joined forces and bought a fly swat.———- Hells teeth Pilgrim—— even I had a pair of snowmobiles—— even though they were the lowly bottom of the barrel Mercury!
Must have had more foresight than I was ever given credit for!

Mark made a big decision about “Old Blue”
He’s given it a blow job——- got all the accumulated dust away and mounted it right outside the entrance to his office.
For the first time in his life—he has a very salubrious office. Claims everyone stops dead in their tracks and asks “WHAT THE HELL IS THAT “ ? Before entering.
Ice is broken, you got dialogue and your not even sat down in the office yet——— “Old Blue” just keeps on winning! Ham Hamburger would be proud——— he taught us good !
We pondered long and hard as what we bo with “Old Blue” there were offers to give it the best paint job ever————- maybe chromium plate and polish the whole shebang ———- put it under a glass cover. We listened, thought about it——— discussed it——-in the end, it was Mark who finally made the decision——— this is how it’s going to be, exactly as we found it !

Attachment 400727

If only life was that easy Bob———- a little thing called a living to be earned that’s where you earn enough money to put aside the sum required to purchase a DFV once you’ve come across the right one to suit your needs.

I should be well over that by now——— after all it was over forty years ago.

Glad to hear that Jackie!! My personal feeling was that she should be left "as is". The only regret I have is that she does'nt have her original sand cast heads. Those die cast ones look out of place -- and they are. If some how you could locate a pair of them she would be complete. That'll be hard tho because there were only about 35 - 40 of them made.
Please have Mark take a couple of pics so we can all see her in her final resting place. -- J. Hale

I assume the sand cast heads were 2 piece?

I will do that for you J H. Mark told me a couple of interesting tales already of conversations with clients over “Old Blue”————- added bonus are all the boathouse spread sheets from Lake X, but we will find the best way to show them off to the world.
We have put out a few feelers for castheads but drawn a blank so far———— not to worry——— one day, it’ll happen, same with the Cosworth.

Somehow I forgot that there were two boats. I corrected the photo and pray that my mistake will not cost me an extended stay on the naughty step with Willabee, who is serving his first year of a forty year sentence...:eek:

Thats the one Bob——- one day, I would like to think I. Might see a DFV firmly fixed in there.
Would love to crank her up and run her sensibly down the kilo straight——- but we all know there is no such thing as a sensible 80+ ex boat racer, so I don’t suppose it’s ever going to happen.

Never before in the whole of my life, have I spent so much time on the dot-dot, talking about nothing in particular———— drinking half a pint of water every. Hour ! Taken all the medication, as prescribed———- eaten nothing for 36 hours, I am what I think is called——- pre opped.
Tell. You one thing for damn sure———— IM EMPTY ———- out of respect for Willabee, I shall say no more. Sat on the John 22 times today———— must be close to a world record I would have thought !
Just got the Karcher up. The rectum then I’m ready for the donut———- just can’t wait for morning.
Lucky Lucky Lucky Me ——- Im a lucky son of a gun———- I drinks ten hours ——- then squits ten hours, which leaves me with a sore bum.

Here it is a little easier...
Brunswick just announced they are spinning off FitnessCo, that will mean it will become a marine only company for the first time in many years
https://globenewswire.com/news-relea...-Business.html
2017 revenues ( without FitnessCo) says its smaller than BRP but slightly bigger than Yam
I cant find any details of outboard sales so we have to guess that as a percentage of each of the big 3's combined marine sales but eyes on the water says Yam winning that.

Mazda exec details plans for rotary range-extended EV coming in 2019

Tesla gets a lot of flak for its delays in promised technology, but the electric car company looks like a straight-A student next to Mazda which has been has been talking about reviving the rotary engine going back to the demise of the RX-8 sports car in 2012.
Mazda says it is committed to the rotary, though the automaker has flip-flopped over whether the engine will be used to power a sports car or simply serve as a range-extender for an electric car. We've seen concepts for both, and just last year a Mazda executive said the company may end up going with both options.

A Message from Southeast Toyota
Time to take on the day.

Now Mazda's sales chief in Europe, Martijn ten Brink, has revealed to Dutch group AutoRAI that Mazda's electric car launching in 2019 will be available with a rotary range-extender. The exec said the electric car will be based on the same underpinnings as the next-generation Mazda 3, and hinted that a crossover body style would make sense.


We also have a few details on the rotary range-extender itself from ten Brink's interview. He said it would be a single-rotor engine without a turbocharger. He also said the compact design should take up no more space than two shoe boxes, and because of the smoothness of the rotary engine, drivers of Mazda's electric car may not even notice when the engine is operating.

Mazda has already shown an electric car with a rotary range-extender: the Mazda 2 RE Range Extender concept unveiled in 2013. Its rotary was a single-rotor 0.33-liter unit that with a full tank of gasoline could provide an additional 111 miles of range. Based on ten Brink's comments, it's likely a similar setup will feature in Mazda's electric car due next year.
Unfortunately, ten Brink didn't have anything to say on a rotary-powered sports car from Mazda. The Japanese firm has struggled with meeting emissions regulations with high-performance applications of its rotary engine. The company has also described building the business case for a sports car as another issue. Those are two major factors standing in the way of a new rotary-powered sports car.

Funny thing happened to me on the way to the hospital this morning———— Set off in what many consider to be the worlds finest car ——LEXUS.
Had to pass through one of those industrial estates that house all the car dealerships these days——- they’re neither “out of town” —— or “Town centre”, but all car dealerships are now housed this way.
Reminded me of Florida for some strange reason ?
Ones that stood out most were. HONDA————TOYOTA——-SUZUKI ———MAZDA——- MITSUBISHI
Arrived at the hospital to see the sculptures enhancing the gardens were sponsored by “SONY” ——— wonder why ?
Weird bit is, when you’re travelling up and down the Scanner and glance up at the name on the top——- guess what it said ? AQUILLO. BY. TOSHIBA,
Was all downhill from there——— TV, RADIO, MOBILE PHONE, CD’s ????
Wait just a goldarn minute there——— who was it made the ZERO .
Remember what I told you about the “TROJON HORSE” effect !
