Thanks for that Dave-------clever old bugger when it comes to piccies ! Where did you learn HOW TO ,
Even expensive cameras curl up and die once they fall into my hands------box brownie is about my stamp.
Kodaks don't seem to last long in the shop------they seem to have an abhorant aversion to sawdust, metal filings and greasy fingers-------and me!
Jackie - You look great in this photo. Perhaps you should have trimmed your pigtails:p - SeeroyQuote:

Aw C'mon Stavros , Willie got more wrinkles than a pickled walnut, barrage balloons under his eyes. Snowy white beard, jugs for ears, eyebrows like he's been out in a snow blizzard all night, and a conk that Julius Caesar would die for-------eyes like pissholes in the sand, he also looks AGED , as for a bloody pigtail ????? You can tell from looking at him he never had a sainted mother and has an unhappy sex life.Quote:

Gene, some time ago you posted a piccie of a wooden yellow runabout, looked a bit like a Raveau to me. Tried to find the photo, but I must have deleted it, think it had a Merc 500 with a couple of pipes. Think you could post it again for me please.
Here we go again------scrap yard Saturday, her indoors reckons it's an "Addiction"--------either that or I found a bit of fluff in the office ? If I just keep schtum and say nothing, smile and nod pleasantly, that compounds the situation !
Big family get together in Eastbourne this afternoon, one of those annual get togethers that you have to go to.
Whoa. Gene inserted the Willie photo. I was referring to your pigtails on post #4488. - Seeroy :reddevil::DQuote:

That was the last boat race I ever competed in------after the race, Marks mum walked up to the pair of us and said----"OK, that's it ! ----one of you is finished boat racing-----I don't care which one---but you will never, ever, compete with each other again" ?
We had just won the ON class in Paris------put in record laps, time and again, split the fuel tank and repaired it, won by under 100 yards after 6 hours-----
MARK AND I NEVER COMPETED AGAINST EACH OTHER AGAIN.
Good Morning Steve!!Quote:

Once again Mr. Kiekhaefer was not pleased as I had been leading inboard Class A by a wide margin and should have been running a little more conservatively. Consequently, a Volvo Penta won the Class. I guess I only knew one speed.....HAMMER DOWN! https://blu183.mail.live.com/Handler...%2fbiggrin.gif -Steve
Jackie---when you say Raveau--I immediately think of ButchQuote:

Gene - Small world indeed. I did know that Fred Darwick & Wife ran the winning Volvo. However, I did not know that she is your sister.
http://www.screamandfly.com/attachme...4&d=1469946569...nice photo. Hodges built some beautiful caskets, and some even more beautiful tunnels. They were hard to beat back then...:thumbsup:
Yeah, well it's Sunday Gene, got a neighbours Bar-B-Que at noon and four hours playtime till then.Quote:

What I've stitched together is purely out of my head--------450/500 Merc now looks more like the 700!
(First motor I ever raced, came on the back of a 15' Derry, YELLOW PERIL-------bought it off' Bob May).
Tried to keep the hull in timber-----probably send it to Roger H, or J. Schubert to do the paint job. I'm lousy at painting.
Whenever the name Raveau. Comes up, I think of Oligator------James Hunt------one of the best drivers America ever produced.Attachment 351103
