CRT 2.5 BILLET Engine to make UAE F1H2o debut


It seems that Ba Ba Black Sheep is all show and no go, but I think that you have known that since the beginning...

Talk about a blast from the past——— Jimmy Meynell ——- Harry Northrop and I grew up together,.
In 1948 we took the train to Blackpool——— girl next door Shirley came along for the ride———- that was 70 years ago.
Jimmy married Shirley ———— Harry married a girl Betty——— they’re all long gone now !
Imagine my surprise when I got a Christmas card from Jimmy and Shirley’s daughter Anne, with a photo of Me—- Shirley and Harry taken in Blackpool!
Does kinda set the pulse racing a tad.
Try and scan it tomorrow——- I wasn’t always a short—— fat—— stumpy Little FECKER.

Thanks Bob———- we were a great bunch of kids in 1948 !

Congratulations to Shaun Torrente on winning The F1 title .
Guess that broke Lasse’s heart, but he did score more points than Eric Stark !
One of his theories on Caldwell’s absence in Abu Dhabi is that Mercury have monopolised Fi and made it exclusively a brand issue———- ( Bit Like OMC did with the OZ series).
Now I may be wrong——- but I was under the impression that F1 was open to ALL engines within the cubic capacity allowed ? Regardless of creed or colour——— not long ago —— I think there was even a RUDE running the series———— but I don’t think it was that competitive.
Even Timmy Seebold ran one in the U S F1 races——- but gave it up as hopeless !
But on the other hand———- knowing what the UIM are like——- ( run with the hare and hunt with the hounds) it would not surmaze me to suspect there had been some dodgy dealing in high places.

As it was in first———— as it is today in second——- and the third —-setting the Oz world record with Hawkeye—- Malcolm Tyrrell—- Andy Chessman and ????—— I’m never going to be forgiven for forgetting the Windermere lads!

First lap of the first heat at Bristol——— one and only time we ran the wing——— was in the lead at the far end turn buoy before I spun it like a top !

Festive season almost here——— goodwill to all men and all that jazz !
You always get the odd one ( now we all have smart phones, laptops and iPads ) that sends out the message “Not sending Christmas cards this year———— donating to charity instead——- tight bastards, Modern day Scrooge ! There’s no change out of $5 for a half decent card and the postage these days——— exhorbitant—- overpriced—- really does piss me off, especially if you have over 120 friends that expect at least a card at Yuletide!
But what the hell——- only comes round once a year——— am I really so far down the road that I can’t send my friends a Christmas card? I DONT THINK SO. ,!
But for all my friends who never received a card from me———— I wish you all ——- a very merry Christmas and a happy new year !
By the way——- we do give a little to the odd charity or three——— McMillan—— St Wilfids—— Sally Army——- lifeboat ——- local church———-Red Cross——- so I’m not as squeaky tight as you might think.

Boy have you ever got a tight arsed Scrooge of a brother Midlife——— mines bountiful compared to yours——- and he’s been dead twenty five years !
Merry Christmas my boy !

The time has come the walrus said———-to treat this old creature with a set of new knashers !
Present lot I’ve had for nearly thirty years and they do tend to flop about a bit ——— like a piston with no rings !
Breezed into the dental surgery asking to be measured for the whole nine yards——— lady dentist gave me the estimate—————————- after the revival——— and a shot of oxygen———— finally recovered from the shock !!! Things used to cost just an arm and a leg——— I’m at present advertising my kidneys —— liver—— my good ear, complete with hearing aid and the old Todger on EBay—————- should just about cover the cost of the fangs !

I think that they have also requested the title to your Lexus F Sport...
