neighbours are having a BBQ so I thought I'd look out the window and see.... I say BBQ but infact they've got one of those small disposable tray ones on the floor with some burgers on it. made worse by the fact that the coals are still smoking/not hot enough.
Sounds like one of mine in the days I was too pissed to care. If one of your neighbours is sprawled face down on the grass and the barbecue burns the food then the fence it must be a time shift to me 1995. I will apologise to you tomorrow but end up doing exactly the same next Sunday. Sorry.DickyC said:
Jags are smashing. Although I haven't owned one since my XJS shed of fond memory I get to drive them frequently. You get a lot of car for your money. I'm using an old S Type at the moment to and fro work. It lives at the far end of the Cars For Sale and hasn't attracted much interest. It's lovely.
This is the first jag I have driven and I really like it, a much more laid back experience than the bmw.
Just had a reply to my wanted ad for a 1941 Willys engine: 'Yes friend I have one $2700 please send your address and we ship too you'
So I reply:
'Great I'll buy it. Just to make sure it's a 1941 engine please confirm if the grot scuttler is to the right of the timing cover and the turbo encabultor is the upswept type'
Him:
'Yes they are. We ship to you with uship confirm adrress'
Me:
'OK that's fine then. Are the blades sharpened and will it cut grass straight way?'
Him:
'Yes. What adrees please we do ship you pay now?'
Me:
'Fantastic. Lastly is it a nice flower arrangement with a coat hook?'
Him:
'Yes'
..... I'll leave it to tomorrow and then ask him if it's VHS or Betamax.
Well I've got nothing else to do all day

So I decided to drag myself to a "confidence & motivation" seminar today as I've been feeling rather down for a while. at the end of the seminar the tutor (female) says to me "you should be more confident you're a man".
errrrrrrrrm.
That's easy for someone to say but are you confident you're a man?errrrrrrrrm.
Oh bother.
Anyhow, I put a few carrots and new potatoes in with the lamb. Bloody handsome it was, Mrs B was suitably impressed.
Have you got your engine sorted yet Pushfit? Just that I've heard of an Allison aero lump from a Hercules that would probably shoehorn in.
I make very good price for you mon amigo. And five gallons of Avgas which should see it clear of your driveway at least...

I haven't heard from Mr Mbongo again. Maybe he's frantically searching Google for details of encabulators fitted to 1941 engines.
As it happens my current engine will be ok for a while, just, but it's the Ford variant and as the car is a rare one it ought to have the right Willys motor when I can find one. All I need is a bare block and everything will swap right over.
I've had a lot of spoof offers of engines over the last year of looking. There must be a mud hut somewhere with people poring over wanted ads trying to get dosh for non existent parts.
Truth be told, between the house and other car projects, work going ballistic and life in general I wouldn't have time to do much on it for a while anyway.

I'm bloody sure I've got a 1941 Willy's Encabulator tucked away in the garage. I'll have a good look for it in the morning and let you know.
Funny you should mention the mud hut business, the Allison engine is currently located in a lock-up just to the south west of Nairobi.
Yours for 900,000 Yen. My last price, Effendi.
