Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackiewilson]

Aw- C’mon Fuji it might be authentic Mercury —but i wouldn’t say it was anything like “BRILLIANT”.
Apt for the time of the year would be closer to a description !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it is not on an Array of anything except a bit of carbon fibre checker effect ??????? “High performance eggs”??????? Rooster with a hard -on ?????? But it is all black !!!!!!!!!!
Could i have done any better ??????? Bet your sweet bippy on it !!!!!!!!! I simply was never asked !!!!
That particular effort would not stand up in the same room as OMC’s Havasu table napkins or Mercury’s UP AND AWAY Powerboat magazine cover from the early seventies. Or even “BLACK MAX” his fearful self !!!!!!
Since the demise of Joe Swift, Mercury’s attempts at advertising and publicity have been pretty mediocre —- a blind man with Alzheimer’s could not have done worse and the only memorable thing over the last thirty years was Mike Butlers “LITTLE RED” [and the budget did not allow for a half decent trailer]
Luckily , where it’s housed now, [DAYTONA], its hanging so a trailer would be superfluous to requirements anyway.
Ive always only been a black man, so i am allowed to criticise —i only rear up when others criticise the Marque !!!!!!!!!!!
incidentally its pissing down here ——-a typical English bank holiday monday, just like it did for most of the bank holiday Mondays i went racing .!!!!! And its set for all day.
Enjoy the rest of the easter hols Fuji.
