Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[jackie wilson]

The xj220 v6 is a mg 6r4 specifically designef for group b metro rally car.
Twr bought the rights to it and used it in the xj but modded to suit

That i can except----so where does the "experimental" bit fit into all this and the V12 and the back to front "C"?

Didn't they ban the MG R4 forever because nothing could live with it ?

Group b cars died after ford made a specific group b car and it went faster than safe and killed both guys in a fireball.
Group b was then stopped or banned or something like that.

Hey, Mr. Fujimo i asked a few questions about you a while back, you've been a tad backwards coming forward----- why don't you just talk to me? Did i ever thump you or have a little disagreement ? what you got to lose ?

It's O.K. Jackie. Just giving you a basic family compliment. Nothing to loose sleep over, lol. No, our paths have never crossed, other than here on S & F. Some enthusiastic boaters here on S & F, over the years enjoy creating quite a big name for themselves, by fabricating a persona of someone they are not. I am not that type, I assure you. Those great Wilson photos are all easily plucked from the internet. You have history that everyone enjoys hearing about, from the past and the present. Keep up the good work.

Started my new part time job this morning. Lets see, VP Engineering-Handy man-Clerk- Mower of the greens. I seem to be going backwards in my career progression.

How the hell you start a part time job Johnno, where do ya find the time, you need an assistant to get you through the day, call out my name, and you know wherever I am, I'll come running --------ain't it good to know you got a friend ??
Sounds kinda familiar Johnno------must have heard it somewhere before?
Whats a career? I always wanted one of those things, but never found the time until 30 years after I retired, now I got me one-----I'm not sure what to do with it, backwards is not a bad move anyway!

The only history I ever found on the dot dot about "Jackie Wilson" was I'm black, I sing and had a hit with "REET PETITE" Don't believe anything you see on the dot dot!


Talked with Mark today about the piccie of him in the "Derry Devil"--------he said all the pictures posted on S and F were from a montage Lou and Craig created for his 50th birthday party, Seebolds were there along with a bunch of his old race friends-------even I went along with Cadillac and many others. This was at his home in Palm City, some nine years ago, did you attend? The Tricks site is there for anyone to join in and enjoy, it's all about boat racing, the people, the rigs, some of em got famous, some got forgotten in the annals of time, all of them are important.
Some like me have machine gun mouths, so they get heard, others just stay quiet until you get them to open up and speak of deeds and exploits of an age gone by, so all you people out there, I'll always be glad to hear from you at any time and about the tricks you're getting up to right now!

Got this itch in my britches to hear more about Mitch Lenske and the V12 Jaguar boat, I believe the boat was a sidewinder-----I always thought it was a Seebold, but apparently that's not so------though it looked a hell of a lot like a Seebold to me, if anyone has a tale to tell or phoggies to post, please feel free to do so, I would appreciate them. I have found them to be as rare as rocking horse Sh-t--------you got anything in the archives Willa,Rodger H don't seem to have anything on it.

Think it was a few years back----this rig came up for sale----but its authenticity was in question, I tried to remember where I saw this, but like I said the memory's shot------I told Mark he should buy it, nothing ever came of it.

Here's an ET with a V12 Jag....haven't found anything on Mitch Lenske yet. The guy who built the headers said it was for a drag boat, but it clearly says ET on it. Anything look familiar?????

Step in the right direction Roger, don't think it's the Parker winner, makes me wonder just how many V12 Jaguar boats were there?
