Jackie - we had a few around the plant(s). Usually on a Friday night you could get some quality merchandise if you didn't mind dropping some serious cash over the bar in a local gin joint!

Bernie, would that have been Judy's Gin Mill ?

If my mum saw me with a woman like that she used to say "You know where the Vim and the scrubbing brush are." but I'm sure she's lovely.

I just made damn sure my sainted mother never got within miles of any of my girl friends !
Back at Marks place in Stuart, unfortunately I'm crippled with either gout or arthritis in my left hand, it suddenly flared out of control two days ago and is not very pleasant at all. No way could I swing a golf stick, so I'll ride round in the golf cart and just look pretty ?
There were quite a few damn good looking ladies came on to the WCM stand to gaze at the COSWORTH--------also one or two dogs in high heels!
Serra was down in Duval, but he declined to say hello-------snotty little git. Still, he has offered to take me up to Tavares Thursday morning!
Miss Geico got bent out of shape a little on Sunday, so I don't know if Craig will,make the golf tourney, should find out today.

Gives a whole new meaning to "BOTTOM PAINTED".

[jackiewilson]

Trying to to explain the finer points of an "Outboard" to Ted Boyd.!

This is why one can never say no to Ted Boyd-------I got a stiff neck looking up at him!

[jackiewilson]

Lizzie-------you can see already------that kid is going to be a whole bundle of trouble!

[jackiewilson]

So Mark says to me------you did tell em we would like to bring the COSWORTH up to tavares er, no-----I thought you had--------well you'd better ask, because I don't want to tow it up there and just park in the street--------well best thing to do is get Cadillac to tow it up there------he has clout, and will probably get it in.
Such are the workings of noble minds?

[jackiewilson]

Well, we THINK we got it sorted------arrangements are classic "old fart" , pure comedy-----Hollywood scriptwriters take note------believe me, you could not imagine, let alone script this.

It goes like this-----let's take the boat up to Tavares -------fine------except we never told anyone! Bill John says it's ok! -------how we get it up there--------Cadillac will take it! How you getting up there, caddys not going till Friday-------Bert will take you------ good-----let's put the trophies which are on the coffin into the trunk of his car-------won't fit------Mark will bring them up Friday ------golf trophies are in the coffin and we play on Thursday -------so are born the myths and legends of "OLD FARTS"

Jackster, living virtually thru your trip to KW, musta been a hoot. been there a lot of years, but in this obamer economy hanging on to investments overrides pleasure. planning on driving down for the day Saturday from Jacksonville, can't wait to see the Cosworth Beast. is that a Seebold hull that later became "Silverwing" ? All the best, Keith

[mr fun]

whoops, the correct verbage should have been "Vicariously" rather than "Virtually"

Keith Funster, will meet you in Tavares, Tavares-------meet you at the pits---------you know how the old song goes!
When investments cease to be fun--then the pleasure goes out of them----it usually means you're relying on them too much?
No, not never my friend, was the COSWORTH ever, ever a Seebold or a silver wing.
Will explain the whole story on Saturday! Jack.

Virginal would be better "Verbage"? ----- Putetre? I been a good boy------honest to murgatroyd!
