Have to tell you Pilgrim—- in my humble opinion —- that‘s BOLLOCKS !!!!!!!
even NOSTRADAMUS CALLED ON COINCIDENCES AND CALCULATED GUESSWORK.
In the main we make our own future and are in charge of our own destiny [all things being equal]
Hollywood would like us to believe „“past predicts the future „“—- i stick by my original statement .

you keep making the same mistakes over and over again....I dont think so, you learnt like everyone else.

IF i put mustard on my jam doughnut and i don’t like it i dont do it again !!!!!!!!
found out at a very early age i loved SEX , so that's a regular occurrence.
Both instances are MY choice .
Of course i make mistakes —- errors of judgement ——- accidents ——- body wont do what the mind thinks it ought to. Think it’s called being HUMAN!!!!!!

I actually learned from the present Pilgrim— everyday occurrences— happenings today will prove i am on the right or wrong track !! I make history every day of my life . Mankind never learns anything from the past. Day that we do, earth might just be a great place to be —instead of just the only place !!!

Finally nailed that blasted awning—— with the help of Sam and her trusty sewing machine— lots of swearing and cursing [awning never had a mother and father—thats for sure]. We are good to dine out under the awning.

Have no idea who shot this footage of the Windermere record run.
ALFIE BULLEN had just nailed the OZ world record for OMC at 122 mph, then headed home thinking it was in the bag .
I turned up late Friday afternoon just before they closed down for the week.
That was the last time the Cosworth. Ever ran in England!!!!!
we cracked the world record at over 123 + running the wing.
Next and last race ever for the Cosworth was Parker . Brett May and i ran the seven hours —- boat never missed a beat . I picked up a plastic bag and had a stop to clear it ——— we lost some time trying to change a gearcase that didn’t need changing. Finished fifth i think. Was another of those lost opportunities .

Boy—did you ever get that wrong Fuji !!!!!!!!!!!
BILL BROWN had absolutely nothing to do with the F1 3liter Cosworth project !!!!!!!
Picture is not the same as the one of the record run either —- wing was fitted for the run.

This is one of those rare occasions whenthe photographs deceive — suitcases were rubbish really stitching was painted on.
I swopped the suitcases for a train set ——- found out the hard way train sets only valuable if it is in mint condition—- and in the original box.
