He's had a TR7, a Jag saloon and a BMC "landcrab".

Most of the boats that were taken from Braunston reservoir to Wendover arm for disposal had a t least the bottom half of a PD2. Clive and Pat Steven's bought Battersea of this tender and that had half a Petter in it which Clive re-built (you could still buy spares then,1968-9)and it served him well without a fail until he sold his pair and went to work for BWB. Started every time, ran sweetly and sounded beautiful (they have their own distinct sound) Can't wait until I hear you coming past Minnow this year?Blossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926264556165848005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-14617575022299123232010-02-07T21:19:31.669+00:002010-02-07T21:19:31.669+00:00I have the equivalent document for my Lister, with...I have the equivalent document for my Lister, with the same beautiful drawings. On the cover, in a box, in bold type, are the words "You want the best out of this Machine. Give this handbook to the man who has to look after it." which is enough to tell you that it comes from a different era. <br /><br />There are also footers on every page containing little homilies to good conduct: "Keep your engine clean", "Too heavy a lubricating oil gives sticking valves", "The exhaust should always be clean", "The responsibility for abuse is yours", and my favourite. "Look after the engine and it will look after you". <br /><br />MP.<br /><br /><br />I'm doing my best to live up to the high standards expected.MoominPapanoreply@blogger.com
