    Needs a little help here —- swear blind they were the right way up when I posted the damn things ?

    Rich—— Lewis went and did it again—— six out of eight —— he can’t be all that bad !
    If he keeps his nose clean and gets to jockey the Ferrari—— he could become the greatest ever—— but Thats still a million miles away——— just the light at the end of the tunnel.
    No, I didn’t watch the race—— I’m still pissed at F1!

    Bob it appears new in pieces as opposed to be “blown” to pieces. The auction is not a million miles from where Jackie lives. It will be a job for sure but I saw the lot today and was prompted to post.

    Saw a private collector somewhere in the states—— he died and there was a freshbuilt DFV opens up on a pallet—— more than that I can’t tell you!
    will try and get a BONHAMS catalogue somehow—— paying £50 for a catalog don’t exactl thrill me these days!

    Bob, I always had a Honda Monkey bike kicking around the place—— loved them both —- the 50cc and the 70 cc——- looks like the deal of a lifetime ! Congrats!

This is definitely a blast from the past. One the down side, my wife is ready to have me committed to the insane asylum, but that is nothing new...!!
    Join the club Bob—- men in white jackets, in little white vans keep calling at the house, as long as I keep the shop door closed and stay shtum I’m ok !

    Makes you realise —- you can’t tell fact from fiction —— it must be fact, I saw it with my own eyes on the internet—— in reality it’s only as real as Father Christmas, mother goose, and Walt’s mouse.
