Don't think that is a T2X.
Not a T2X mid.

I am pretty sure that was Olegator's ride.

Sort of outfit that Jim is the master of , although that motor is no thoroughbred—more of a HYBRID.
All you have to do is ask him, he’s still compus mentis- [that is, until he gets to wailing country and western with Kenny].

Got a free day— apart from half a dozen folk coming to collect a bunch of engineering tools i picked up at the car boot sale. Made half the outlay by 7-30am this morning . By close of play i should be in profit .
hope to have THE PILGRIMS KERELSON all kitted out by the end of the day—-and mounted — was tempted to put it Ona trailer but they take too long and nobody cares anyway.
tried hard to get the OMC gearcase a tad more authentic. Se what you think.!

Told you there would be progress today—- engine and mount fitted —- semi fixed the screen — have to cobble a steering wheel . Graphics need to be sorted — could take a week or more .
There you have the basic shape pilgrim—- you still want it ???????

By the cringe, the weather took a mighty change for the worst. High winds and heavy rains knocked three sheets out of the garden plants . Sudden end to the summer in no uncertain terms .
Still what do i care , stacks of work to be done in SUPERSHED—- loads of unfinished concepts might now get finished .
there are three RECORD BOATS WITH RUDES ON THEIR BUMS !!!!!!!
One John Sherlock with the Dick O Dea. Mercury___ and three MERTS. All which need finishing.
Bi-Plane of Eddie RICKENBACHER is off to florida in exchange for a lifetime supply of abrasive discs .
Should be a fun week finalising that little lot .
Plus — a shed load of machinery and tooling to shift —- had another mad fit of depression and bought half the stuff on sale at the car boot sale . No worries , i sold half of it over the weekend and covered costs .
Once more into the fray —- onwards and upwards like the valiant six hundred !!!!!!!!

One of my favourite places in the whole world —- last time i was there i tried to find“change alley“. .
Parkinson was responsible for getting the FONDA RACES in Singapore—- just loved the whole place —RAFFLES —— the HORSE RACING——Little India —— street markets —-taxis that kept to the speed limits . —- constant development and no chewing gum on the pavement .
Popping over in an aircraft is just a distant memory——

My version of a concept of John Sherlocks record boat— if its a jones —it looks like a Karelson—-if its a Karelson —it looks like a Jones . Finally got around to putting in the steering — wheel and cables and steering bar . and the correct motor stitched it all together and split the cowling —- my fault entirely —— has to be a second and they come out at $200 . Crap happens !!! Took all day to get where we are with that one .

Change alley still the ground floor of Chevron House at Raffles place.
The money changers are all millionaires now as they change your money with receipt and then you can take a bag of cash to the casino as you now have proof of where it came from..

JUST BEEN TALKING TO MY SISTER -she lives next door to the BP refinery in Hamble , son in law is a tanker driver for TESCO‘S. THERE IS NO PETROL SHORTAGE WHATSOEVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
All the tanker drivers from all companies meet in the canteen for a cuppa —-they cannot believe the media can create such mayhem.
Boris calling in the army is total bull droppings ———- here in the south there is not one filling station shut or without petrol. Yes idiots are „“Topping Up“ every day which doesn’t help. Give it a week and it‘ll be all over.
