Does anyone out there know what happened to a black "tunnel"boat with a couple of outriggers and a nasty looking V 8 Rude on it, based in Stuart Fl. I've seen a couple of vids on this machine,...
Oh yes, and another thing Wayne, if you never saw Michael Caine in "THE ITALIAN JOB" ---------you got some serious omissions in your life.
Jesus wept Wayne, what are you trying to prove here ?
Remember those little things called "letter boxes" -------I presume they still got em down the post office ! You know the things I mean. Those...
Is it one like Michael Caine had in "The Italian Job" ?
Surely not a shirt lifter Wayne ?
Mark patched me in to the weather forecast on "Facetime" last night Wayne, watched the shocking plight of Texas----27" of rain already, with another 33" predicted-------until you've been in that...
C'mon Wayne, since when did a little old "Blowjob" worry folk in Texas? ------but having said that, I must confess this latest palm bender does appear to be a tad bad tempered
As for your...
Wayne (Master oil) by the time I get a PM from you, hell will have frozzed over and the pope will have become "Protestant".
Well, it's as I suspected, most old farts are dead from the dick downwards------Wayne went to sleep and I never heard from him again------do all race boat heads require some "Ginger up their bum". ? ...
Ron, I have to ask------have any of the old farts got any red fluid running through their veins?
Seems like most of em are armchair jockeys these days!
Now you know as well as I do, old gits are low on patience-----tried to log into this site but it kept spitting me back out-----so for two years I couldn't be arsed with it.
With a bit of help from...
Je concur Bruce-------unfortunately for those that get bitten by the boat bug, it's incurable------worse than tabacco------or the hard stuff!
Good part is you get to die happy ( so I'm led to...
You see Ron------All it takes is a nudge and all the bugs come to life !
Heard about DePue most of my life------always thought I might go one day, but I think I missed the boat ------so to speak!
Just nice to know there's life out there somewhere-----my son Mark came across Jimbo a few years back when he was teaching a youngster how to go racing------last time I saw him was at the OMC shrimp...
Hells teeth Ron------dead lice are dropping of the site-------is there anyone left alive out there?
I read that a couple of the old farts cashed in, but surely there's a couple of live ones left out...
Takes me less time than that to forget a password------there are sites that tell me my password has already been taken, which is a load of old cobblers----- nobody in their right mind would pick my...
I'm with you Wayne------I don't know HOW to make it easy for folk to post, comment, start a thread, reply to a thread without the dreaded and never remembered password. I do know there are a whole...
Ron, did you ever think to tell your readers it's ok to actually reply to some of these threads ?
There's a distinct lack of communication out there ! Lord knows they all have shed loads of nonsense...
Swedes, French and Italians always seemed to run inboards. Always sounded like they were running fifty miles an hour faster than they actually were. Sopwith and Shead ran a huge Souter with a...
Rest of the boat racing world chased Seebold around Bristol-----------My son Mark finished second behind him on five occasions---------he still says he could have been famous if it wasn't for...
You can see the mischief in Roz's eyes------I'll bet a pound to a pincha----it was her idea to get James to pose. She was the fun person.
Koo Stark could have made a fortune if she ever told her...
James moved in an entirely different circle to most of us-----I was on a camping holiday in the south of France with my wife and five kids when I first met him. He was there with his brother and...
ROZ also had a number of girls around her who were very good. She delegated well.
Anybody remember Zoe Trumper--------Cees Velden would have remembered her better than most. She did lots of boat...
There ya go, told you there were folk out there who had more exciting stories to tell than me. Always liked Joe Cocker but never even met him. He was Dave Biers favourite singer!
Roz Knott was one...
Old boat racers are like fish----------they think about it forever before they take the bait!
It will happen, but there's no telling when!
Just wish more of the "oldies" would come out with some of yesterday's tales, a lot of them have far more interesting stories than I ever had Wayne.

Wayne,
Noel Coward was an English actor, composer, talented------- but gay as a jaybird --------wrote the song "MAD DOGS AND ENGLISHMEN GO OUT IN THE MIDDAY SUN" during...
I thought I was just a normal Christian-------I believe in God but don't push it at anyone whatever their colour or religion. But, I'm changing-------I cannot agree with this senseless slaughter of...
Wayne, honestly , you don't have to send pre paid envelopes, I know we are supposed to be down on our uppers after "Brexit" but I can still afford the price of a stamp.
It happened again in London...
Wayne, I can still wield a pen. I'll fall in with whatever you want to do. Autographs are free, but I don't know how you would get the rest of the Wilson family.

Yes the number 4 is one of my 2 litre Hodges Cosworth-------never once stopped during a race!
I'm not getting into it with the hydros------I have no knowledge of the sport at all------just some of the characters.

I don't ever remember any other English men racing at Valleyfield in the Seventies-------I think I would have remembered!
Hydro boys were a different breed to the runabouts, Lowestoft was the only...
Wayne, sorry to tell you, it's not me on the far left (as far as I can tell). It's not the best picky I ever saw ------but keep taking the tablets--------it can only get better-------and thanks a...
That's my boat Wayne------you described the Hodges--------there was only one of those ever raced in Valleyfield.
,
Don't have a single picture of the little Cosworth in Valleyfield. Can't remember my number.
Canadians refused to recognise the UIM paperwork, I told em it was an outboard but nobody...
Was there such a thing as a photo taking phone in '67 ?
Loved the atmosphere in Valleyfield, met Joe Gamboni and his family there in '76 ------they put me in with the guppy's, 7 litre inboard...

Ok Alky-------up to my fetlocks at the minute, then I'm on it !
Ok Pilgrim, that's another useless app I just downloaded---------must be a trick I'm missing out on--------put in a Good word next time you're on there. Sauce for the goose and all that jazz !
Sorry Alky , guess I'm just a slow learner--------downloaded the app ok ------then it all turned to worms.
Thanks for taking the time out to explain things !

I'm still flogging a dead horse here---------facts forum------any of my hundreds of pictures------totally non compatible, nobody can say I didn't try.
Maybe in a couple of years I'll try again .
Wayne, I never knew Pip Wiley, got to know quite a few of the Hydro boys. Some of them switched to runabout racing.
London club was all hydro in the early days, same as South Staffs and Oulton Broad...

Tried like a demented Guipetto for twenty times John-------gets as far as"Upload files"----- gives me the same reply, "UNABLE TO UPLOAD FILE"------I got shedloads of pickies, but am a bit short on...
No two ways about it, it's much easier to post pickies on the "OTHER" site.
Needed a decent picture of Rons HALLETT pickle-------the ones I got came from the facts forum-----lousy quality.
