You'll have to remind me, put up a pic! I practically have Andy on speedial but I am in the wrong country for his book which I have over there which shows every mad car, and some sane ones, that her ever built.
"Evenrude"
Love it!! "Evenruder" was that one!!
Starflight is appropriate though, ain't it!!??
Theres one chap in a boat with a crash helmet on in that boat chase vid
And that's a Mercury engine, not an "Evenruder"
135 hp, that's some engine ain't it?

My first boat was a 17ft fletcher with a 235hp Johnson, bucket seats an a foot throttle, I ran out of fuel first time out &
a nice lad offered me a gallon of fuel to get back up the loch, I said that wont get me back & showed him the boat
his face when he seen the engine
he said ive been on the loch for 40 years an never seen an engine as big as that.He ran me to Balloch to fill up jerry cans and brought me back to the boat. Nice chap
Reminds me of the bloke who bought a big engined bike despite being rather skint.My first boat was a 17ft fletcher with a 235hp Johnson, bucket seats an a foot throttle, I ran out of fuel first time out &

He was showing it off to his mates when one of thm asked him "How many does it do to the gallon?"
He said, "Dunno, never had a full gallon in it."
Having checked out the Norman Stanley Fletchers I see they are quite a popular boat. But although I didn't look at all of them, none seemed to have more than half that power.
I love the idea of a "nice lad" who has been on the loch for 40 years.
Good, we can all rest easy, until the next time!
So naffin hot here I have decided to keep all doors and windows shut until it cools down.
W is in bed as her stomach problem is playing her up today. Nothing to do with the meal as far as we can see, more to do with the far distant remnant they have left attached to her for use at a later date!
Have a good rest-of-the-day all!

Had prawns fer tea last nite. Wassa bit risky as eye dun't normally do sea food unless its got bread crums onnit. Keep seeing them in sainsberrys so got some. Web said yer can't cook from frozen. Defrost int fridge over nite. Cook int microwave in short pulses and stir between. We done that and they dint turn to rubba. They were ok burreye couldn't help finking chicken tastes betterer and a lot less risk. Am glad eye made it frew the nite. They may be out me system now or very close. Worst bit were knowing eye hassa stake assa backup. Said stake un chips have just finished cooking fer lunch.

Glad it's cooled down, no idea how it's the back of 3. Did the usual adult stuff and then made some jam.
Now watching shinty and wondering did I accidentally play shiny instead of hockey at school

Is that Scottish for "No idea how we have come to be after 3 o'clock"?
Cannot but agree with you, I'll be feeding the dogs in 3/4 of an hour and I haven't even done the dishwasher!!

Yea it is
As it is so hot and as W is eating nuthin today, I have decided that my total intake of food today will be 2 croissants and some crisps.
Maybe I'll feel hungry tomoz.
However I am keeping up my liquid intake.
Ricard and water at the moment!

I see that Iceland are offering a £1 reward for reporting the sods. Worth it..?
