They really put some faith in that bit of string to not snap and send a subsonic missile spearing directly into their bollocks, don't they?

My brother used fly combat wings and other stuff as a kid 60's to mid 70's. He was doing a display at the school Fete and I ran and crawled out to him, I was probably 4 or 5 at the time and he went mad when I reached him as I ruined his routine! 🙈

The Doppler effect on that second one is hilarious.

I’ve been in the UK for two months and then had to quarantine back here in UAE for a week. I had to go for a PCR this morning so went down to the basement with my boost pack expecting the truck to be dead as a doornail (the heat kills all batteries if they’re not used regularly, and they don’t last more than a couple of years generally speaking)

Started on the button, no boost required! Result.

GCSE results for the young ' un today. Decent spread of grades and a place on the motor mechanics course at the local college. Sure I can find something to practice on. Here's hoping they do welding.

I like his stuff, he seems to have an inexhaustible supply of field finds to revive.  I didn't even know they made a 4x4 Escort in any spec, does seem odd - although given the state of it and the noises it was making, it might need a bit of work before it sees the road again.

Never knew Ford made a Boggo MK5 Escrot 4x4! 

 

I knew there was an RS2000 4x4 variant, not sure what the drive train was from though, doubt it was from the Cossie which obviously had a Sierra floorpan. Forgotten how smooth and refined those old engines sounded!

Have just made £2.50 back on car VED. Had a 157.50 refund from the merc and the tax on the new fiat is £155.

Just had a visit from my grandparents who I've not seen since 2019 owing to distance and the plague. Grandad will be 89 this year so his memory's starting to get a bit shaky. I took him out in the P6 and he absolutely loved it - said it made his day. In his own words - "tremendous" - I wish I could have taken a picture of the grin on his face, it was a really special moment.

That's why I love this car. It puts smiles on faces. It's made someone's day - and in return, that's made mine. :)

Taking a Football team to Te Puke yesterday (Sat) for a game . A Mini came round the corner towards me . Then about another two dozen followed . there were only 3 or 4 not really minis with them and someone in an MGB at the rear. Made my day even though the team lost 2 nil.

On the way back from an early morning run to the storage container I saw a load of shiny MkI/II Granadas and big Farina Wolseleys/Westminsters out and about, presumably on their way to a show. A minor disappointment that I can't also go along to stuff like that at present, especially when it's a sunny Sunday, but looking forward to being able to do more of it myself next year when we're settled into the new place.
