[Little Pete]

see you bought it then

hi carl,
i see you bought the backdraft in the end.

did you manage to sell the phantom?

how fast have you got out of the new one, cos the orange one is pretty rapid because it used to belong to pete little and dave arther and it pritty lite, though it did break down at torquay this weekend so if all your bits are screwed on, which i exspect they are as gareth is a top mech then you stand a good chance.

all the best mate and i'll see ya down there sat

can't decide what to race v24 or marshan there so simlar

 

[phantomc92]

hi pete,the phantom has gone to south end on sea.i had a chat with andy who has the other one and something happened to his steering(cable).should be interesting though when we meet up.i am arriving early sunday morning as long as i can get scrutineered ok.i havent had it flat out yet,but lets just say its faster than the phantom.see you down there

[phantomc92]

the engine and the boat in general,ie the bits i cant do,he looked after the phantom aswell,bloody nice guy. if my memory serves me correctly i thought i saw you both in a pic on a dunk test

 

[Jon Fuller]

Correct, prior to racing in Abu Dhabi/Dubai in 'Hospitality inns'

 

[Jon Fuller]

Thinking about it, he looked after that P20 when it belonged to the Penns (Peter + Simon)

 

[phantomc92]

[Jon Fuller]

The P20 you owned until just a few days ago!!! ...good memory!

 

[phantomc92]

[Jon Fuller]

He probably said "That got the dearest set of seat runners in the history of offshore racing!"

 

[phantomc92]
