Tricks that old racers get up to after retirement

[techteam]

Jackie,

I don't think you have upset anybody, you are just easily confused. It is generally not a good idea to post phone numbers in an open forum unless you like receiving strange phone calls at odd hours. A direct personal message is much better. To show there are no hard feelings here is the best superglue I have ever used and its never failed to glue anything I've tried so far. Its available in several different viscosities. Its ZAP A GAP glue available from Amazon or most model shops stock it. https://www.modelfixings.co.uk/adhesives.htm. It also has an instant activator called ZIP Kicker in a spray bottle.

Now for something completely different !!!!!

I did not say this — but i would have been happy to issue the final statement .

Admin may not allow this to happen —— but this should never be censored .

sorry about that but apparently the original has been mutilated that its no longer fit for human consumption —— will try and. Get something closer to the original —- if i do i will post it . It’s a bit like a letter thats had the print read out of it until its illegible.

Jackie just reading your stuff over the last few weeks has made me appreciate what a clever man you are. He corresponds with some of the greatest names and boat racing and you were probably one of the best of your day. Now you’ve become figure 1 respected and memorable voice on this blog. Since I was locked away in federal reform institution for a few years I have missed all it’s been fun catching up much respect amberjack

Sorry ‘bout your bad luck Charles—- there but for the grace of god go i . Sailed very close to the sun but without actually getting scorched !!!!!!!!!!
most of the boat racers i have known are normal everyday folk —-assholes are rare in powerboating —but when they are “wrong ‘uns”. They tend tend to be big time villains .
Eight days to go before the welfare check comes in ????? SOCE they call it over here . If you still want REDBIRD —drop me an email . Have a good weekend.

FINISHED THE FIFTH OF THE SIX CONCEPTS —- then had a mad fit of depression and decided i would renovate the wings.

Found three of them under the bench. DIABLO and the two SKYWAY MARINE —700 AND 7000.
CANT IMAGINE WHERE THE PAINT CAME FROM —- TOTAL CRAP — so its back to basics .

Hells teeth Charlie , its no good sending me pictures . Dont do accuracy. Just a goodly concept thats somewhere near right with a great deal of “artists licence”.

Between fernagling concepts and making a living i still have a social life [of sorts] and a future to look forward to.
SEEBOLD has booked his flight for the Bristol Reunion next month.
Fourth covid jab on Monday morning.
Things have to ease up a lot in the travel world before i even consider going anywhere .
Still ridiculous restrictions on the airplanes and long delays at either end of the journey for all travellers does not exactly make me want to rush out and travel.
i will attempt a couple of weeks in florida with my AMERICAN relations and friends November time .
In rude health at the minute but know full well that at 90 that can change in the blink of an eye.
Stupidity in politics never cease to amaze me . Looked like Boris was due for the chop due to his “Partygate”. Now it looks like his main protagonist SIR KIER STARMER is as guilty as Boris !!! What a “CLUTTERFECK”.
Putin showed the world his world destroying collection of megaton devices —- what sort of dingleberry does that make him????
Meanwhile his invasion of Ukrain and the slaughter continues with the rest of the world creating sanctions but very little else .
We have illegal imigrants swimming ——sailing—crossing the channel in their thousands with the french helping to do it . We dont turn them back—— or sink them [dont think that would go down too well with the rest of the world —but neither do they care much either] .
Simple economics of the situation tells me that our NHS cannot sustain a situation where everyone and the boat they float in on , is sick and needs Medicare —-a home —an iPhone —-a car —-a dog [for sympathetic reasons] and smokes a pack of twenty a day!!!!!!!!
Sunday morning , i had better get up —three ssss. Breakfast and the crossword . Then work off my irritation in the shop.

You missed the Hamilton's jewellery issue and FIA regs?
Whats your view on that?
Maybe news Sunday in Miami?

Hey Pilgrim, dont do F1 any more . Told you before its more bent than the Monaco GP.
only watched one race in two years —that was last years final race [which proves my point] Only Bernie could have pulled tha one off.
So i couldn’t give a flying fart whether Hamiltons has bells on his fingers and a ring up his nose .

Actually did place a small bet on happy jack for you for you only two bucks but it didn’t help him run any faster. If you can email me your snail mail address on Monday I will get a check in the mail to you for the amount you specified. If you need any more for postage let me know. If you need any help picking horses let me know. Again if you ever get to Florida I’m almost falling to spend 20 bucks on you. All the best amberjack oh

I forgot to ask you Jackie if you ever met a fellow named David Gilmour in your travels to the states. He was part of the Boat team of Abbet and Gilmore in Miami very famous boat dealers around town back in the day. Since you mentioned formula one that was one of David’s passions before he passed a few years ago he was a great man and always good for a laugh or two and a burger and a beer. PS what size shirt do you wear So I can send you a shirt from the Caribbean Club play ABBA Races
