    Swancraft at Brundall is currently £1.40, as always best to call ahead nearer the day.

    Right own up who was it that took all the diesel from Swancraft!  :default_2gunsfiring_v1::default_2gunsfiring_v1::default_2gunsfiring_v1:

    I`ve just heard that they are awaiting delivery and unable to give a price at the moment as the supplier is changing their price on a daily basis.  :default_badday:

    That could be an interesting aspect to the racing this season; I'm clearly not old enough to remember when F1 cars had "skirts" before (:default_icon_liar:) but Grandad told me that riding over the kerbs damaged them, destroying the ground effect.

    Does Grandad recall the ground sucking fan cars or the sliding side skirts?

    In my opinion, it would be good to see Lewis Hamilton win an 8th title and become the greatest F1 driver of all time. After all he is British.

    Any world champion of any sport must earn the title not have it handed to them through human error.

    well you got the pointy end and left and right :default_coat:

    Comes from years of listening to customers weird and wonderful explanations of what is and isnt happening with their appliance I guess.

    I always thought coventry climax was a petrol fire pump engine often used in old power boats, or was the climax label a generalised name from the same factory?

    Coventry Climax was an engine manufacture from 1903 through to the `70s

    Any thoughts on what the new season will bring ?

    I can see a war on how mirrors can be mounted to the cars developing along with stricter controls on track limits and more drivers driving with their elbows out this season. Hoping for close racing throughout the field.

    I think I’ve narrowed down my boat search,

    im hoping to find a very nice ,broom 30.(aft cabin)

    my wish list.

    or

    a Dutch steel cruiser,such as a Pedro 30/33 or similar 

    must have a bow thruster though if single engine.

    maybe a pontoon neighbour or family friend ,

    anything spring to mind?

    Pedro 30 at NYA

    I’m searching everyday,not because I’m desperate,

    purely because I need to see the boats.

    unless you’ve studied your target boat,you won’t know whether there “all like that sir”

    Ah, I know what you mean there! Was amazed at there many different lay outs on my target boat I saw, then I found The One

    Keeping a look out,

    personally,

    I think an active forum like this is my place to buy.

    you guys will know,the owner,the boat,and it’s history,

    word of mouth and social contacts.

    It’s the way I’ve carried my work forward for the most of my working life.

     

    All true however explore all options I say and dont put all your eggs in one basket.
