That's a bit coarse for you.

Hush! He'll learn that for himself. In good time.

It's the only way to teach them.

 

There's a certain amount of common sense though - I rarely had to change
the oil in The Torrey Canyon innit.

 

Wonders never cease.

Back in the Good Old Days my plunger (Z)B31 was known locally as 'The
Torrey Canyon'...

 

Ah, you too?

Engine needs complete overhaul. Not quite so easy as the old i/e Rover -

bloddy hell. I suppose the parts are all getting hard to find.

 

Six cylinders to rebore, six new pistons, six lots of bearings - it

Oh yes, piece of piss to work on. I just wish it was lighter.

I'm about to make a casting-box and pattern for casting an ally sump for
a Reliant of the three-legged variety owned by the son of a local
garage-owner with whom I'm in cahoots. He has a furnace and machining
facilities.

Now you *HAVE* set me thinking.

I wonder if his furnace would be big enough to...
