Apparently ( according to Lasse ) the motors used today are obsolete—— two strokes—— no longer in production——- with no spares from now on——— Mercury of course which pisses him off anyway! Since RUDES have been dead in the water when it comes to competition and racing for nearly thirty years!
Dont have the answer to your question Pilgrim——- But I don’t doubt there are those among us who do!
By the way———— MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR PILGRIM.
Thanks for all the help throughout the year—— much appreciated!
Love you too Johnno———- MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!Quote:

Well, you know what Pilgrim——- 30F equates to two below——— that’s damn cold in any language.
Much as I love Lake Garda, going up into the mountains for Christmas doesn’t exactly thrill me.Was in Verona last year——- loved it.
Doing Venice and the Danube this year——— her who shall be ———- wants to go to the opera house and Salzburg——— Im Going for the cuisine.
Make sure you visit Masi and pick up a couple of cases of Amarone to ship home. Good Stuff.Quote:

The Bloodhound never made it's 1000 mph run. The Caldwell CRT 2.5 never ran at Abu Dhabi, but Bluebird was able to spread her wings again...:thumbsup:

I wonder when they look at bluebird today what speed do they think it could do safely?
Richard Noble reckoned the 1000 mph was easily attainable with the BLOODHOUND configuration——- but the bloody project was hemoraging money with nothing to show for it—— just wonder how much cash has gone through the BLOOBHOUND turnstiles up to now ?Quote:

See Manchester United have finally sacked Mourhino——- bit like shutting the gate after the mares been sired.
Dont suppose he gives a flying fart one way or another——- what with a £22,000,000 severance bonus, it’ll be a soft landing. Nice work if you can get it?
Another example of just too much ready cash in football today.
Million pound a month in wages ? You’re having a laugh, that’s this year——- next year. It’ll be a million a week !
Wont stop em rolling all over the pitch in mock agony——- like Olivier after he’s been poisoned in MACBETH ,
You don’t need to go to the theatre these days——- just watch any football match , anywhere in the world.——- great big Jessie’s in a big girls blouse pretending to be sportsmen ! DISGUSTING.!
