A friend of mine and Pruett’s —Kathy Flo Henderson, was given a powder blue Mustang fastback, with “Four on the floor” for her eighteenth birthday.Quote:

Spent yesterday morning doing the “nitty-Gritty” bits of the three MERT’s. Steering wheels are always a pain in the Asse . Decided to get clever and put in steering wires . Took me hours with very little progress .
Graphics can make or break a concept . I tried hand painting —— failed miserably — but I’ve got ambition . Do have my son in law —Little Jeff coming to see if he can do anything for me .
I can buy letters and numbers off the shelf— but not the AUTHENTIC graphics i need to make the MERT outstanding, it is kinda important i get this right .

Managed the three steering wheels and installed the cables — see what the day brings.

What with moving and all that jazz—- never got around To buying the expensive , exotic but never quite made it sweet peas we usaolly order from unwind or thompsons.
picked up a couple of pots for a fiver at the car boot sale .
been picking fifty blooms a day with twelve inch stems and a scent Chanel would die for !
At least i know where to get next years sweet peas from.
I know i know, its got sod all to do with finding a wing in a barn in Schenectady—- get over yourself, live with it.

Just when i thought we had all the arrangements in place for my 90th birthday bash, the owners of THE AVISFORD PARK HILTON, decide to put the damned place on the market [ a cool 10.5 million pounds sterling] .
This kinda pisses me off a tad, they took a 10 percent ,non refundable deposit just for booking the place . Then gaily put the place on the market without as much as a thats ok with you ??you want your deposit back and siss on you pister attitude .
Cobblers—- lets just hire the village hall —- farty Egg sandwiches —tea and biscuits and i can save myself four or five grand . Way to go !!!!!!!!
This will be the one that never was—— three pipes— i use it to experiment on to see if stuff works. This had the first steering wheel—- then the steering cable .Quote:

Little Jeff [ my son in law married to Boo] came by last night —- managed to con him into doing the graphics—— now thats a great result—- he’s a professional.
Watch this space —- the end is nigh.
I thought the Malibu was getting a V8 conversion?
