Well as much as pets are hard work I went a picked up a cat today.

Love the kids doing the Titanic Bit

Tony Davis · 05-02-2006, 04:38 PM

it's very shiney, shame you didn't have it for the monkey, could have shown those young pups how it's done!

Four wheels on my wagon I'm still roing along, the cherokees are after me but I'm singing a happy song,
Three wheels on my wagon I'm still roing along, the cherokees are after me but I'm singing a happy song.
Bit more difficut now Two wheels on my wangon all on the fekkin offside fek the cherokee the fuzz is here and the singing has stopped.

AH HHHHHHH back to 3 wheels on my wagon the fuzz hazz gone and we are linmping home not singing whistling.

I made the mistake of not checking the wheel bearings & not taking any tools.

My Fault

If anybody finds a wheel at a roundabout between asda in bournemouth and tescos it's mine ok. wasn't going back for it !!!!!

BluFin · 05-02-2006, 04:44 PM

Last one

Tony Davis · 05-02-2006, 04:44 PM

They look like Alko hubs, there's a dealer in poole that stocks bits!

Matt · 05-02-2006, 04:46 PM

It's on the trailer between the sponsons! (pic 1)

Tony Davis · 05-02-2006, 04:48 PM

Actually, now that I've thought about it, I've got 8 brand new hubs that Alko sent me by mistake, all with bearings fitted!

I'll sort 4 out for you!

BluFin · 05-02-2006, 04:58 PM

spare dont count coz its totally shot. and I didn't even have a wheel brace anyway, Wheel nuts went on with plyers .............

MAde it in the end 2:28 for what was 16 mile Tony can run it faster than that

Hubs will do nicely I'll catch up with you about it.

I know I'm going off the idea now maybe a saddle rib type thing just in the back to squeeeze em all in on those days they want to go. quick change thing with the seat.

Get the chainsaw out in the week and make a start.

Breaks my heart to pulll it to bits when its put together as well as it is but gotta do it for peace of mind.

I'd have love to have been out for the Monkey would have been fun as for young pups.
Dunno if I can still fekken drive a boat it's been 20 years near enough. I'm not sure if my ass will go in the seat let alone the cube.
Do they make them in fat fekker size

BluFin · 05-02-2006, 09:57 PM

MAde the choice not cutting the deck & widing the Cockpit leave it as it is.
Maybe just pad out the back and make it a big creche for them to wobble, fight & bounce around it.

Did manage to get in the seat, very comfy too feels like a battleship compared to the BluFin. That feeling will last till the first green one rolls up the deck!!!!!!

Looks really smart, its great to know its gone to a good new home, will be odd to see it racing, and it wont be my mate Mark behind the wheel, but I will be cheering you on regardless, may see you racing at the Cancer research?

BluFin · 05-02-2006, 09:59 PM

Dunno If I'd get an entry.
I smoke 2 packs a day at least

We will see a possible maybe for sure

cfun · 05-02-2006, 10:07 PM

ahh 2 packs? at least I know what to look for, a lot of smoke coming out of a helmet, will look like one of them old steam ships from a distance

BluFin · 06-02-2006, 08:58 AM

To be honest I’d love to go racing but it costs an arm, leg and left testicle, possibly both. How the heck we used to manage 12-13 race season is quite beyond belief now, think there are enough people on here could vouch for that.
Think I’ll just stick too fast fun, with just the odd basic maybe once or twice a year.
Don’t think I would have everything & myself ready for the Cancer Research and would look to Sept either RMYC or Torbay but that would be subject to the classes run as it will be a 2.4 or 2.5 and would not fit into the F200 or IIIC grouping so would be an Unltd I suspect unless I could go as a Sportsboat

Allhallows would be perfect as I always loved running there, But too many external distractions to meet the time scale.

Dont you just Love Power Boats how the memories come flooding back when you look at the chequebook stubs.
First Bit of Bling for the Thing.
I think it fits the 50 Merc if you modify the tilt tube

Ciao · 09-02-2006, 10:06 PM

I'm shocked!!

Good work Jon! That is a smashing bit of kit!

The condition looks amazing (before you let the kids get to it!)

Look forward to see how it runs against the "new breed"!
