smithy

You're right, f*ck it, I shouldn't have taken so long to get the GT6 engine in the Spit and it back on the road. I'm a bad bad person. An idjut. DS, old buddy old pal, don't talk to the judge this way though, cos........Oh, I already said all that!

Oh go on, you know you would.

DS, that's a long message. You don't seem to understand my feeble attempts at humour or my attempts to persuade you to tone it down a bit when you get to court, so I think I'll bow out of this thread. I should never have got into it, should I? It ain't a debate, it's about you! I'm saddened you profess to not respect me, but since there's no basis for that remark whatsoever and we've never met, I'm content. Good Karma to you too, and my continued support.

Mate - when you put it like that it makes perfect sense! Fortunately for me, my mainstream world view and ability to delude myself has kept me out of prison thus far. I can pretend I'm Kung Fu. "The smart tree blows in the breeze and doesn't snap" (that sort of bollocks). I like my liberty too much to give it up, between us. And I don't fancy prison much 'cos - to be completely frank - I'm scared I'd be bummed in the showers. I wouldn't want to be messed with. It would make me properly humpy. As an aside, "Away with hypocrites!!!", "Judge not lest you be judged" aye aye - but who says Judges should be perfect? Probably better when they're not. I suspect that might already make some of our sentencing better. I know "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" is a compelling argument - but only if you have Jesus hanging about to judge you.

Don't know what I'd say! The law's an ass and people should get a license to grow blow, and an inspector should go look at it, and also at their bank accounts? That there should be a sincerity test? Yep, mebbe! Does have a bearing though doesn't it mate? At least it does right now. You can turn your hand to pretty much anything can't you! If that weren't such a nuisance it would be really impressive. Well OK then, it is impressive. I enjoyed this bit - even though I thought you meant me for a minute (I don't wear a wig yet). Why would you want to pay more then you have to, to a fund you don't believe in? Here, in verse. "We go along to get along". It's a simple song. A short lyric. If you wanted to be a crusader You should have been that first. Now it's later. I've got stuff that's witty, And pithy, from up here. (Nice ditties). Aphorisms, like: "Roll with the punches". My favourite.

Shut up you! I'm a tax payer! There! THAT'S my point. I just didn't make it very well. To make a similar bad point (just been reading about Bletchley Park) - were it the 40's or 50's and me a homosexual, I'd be keeping quiet then too. Public opinion moves on, but it ain't fast. In America they have Death Row prisoners, nuh? Just sayin'!

The effect of sunlight on you is very interesting! Sorry - a derail though, going back a bit. Just to say that French blokes a c**t. "In January Belliard, of Old Bisley Road, Stroud, admitted producing drugs and being in possession of small amounts of cannabis, Ecstasy and amphetamines. He had been arrested when police raided a house in Kingsway, Dursley, on January 21 last year and found 21 plants being cultivated in two bedrooms." Broke the law didn't he? Growing it for sale wasn't he? "He won't wear his jacket" says his brief, "because he ain't a criminal". He should wear his little jacket while he digs my verges says I, since he's a criminal. Not like you DP - different deal. (BTW I hope you'll keep your gob shut when you get to court and become an activist later if you fancy it. JMO)

I'll send my mum around. Ahem.

Carried on being understated where you could then eh? Looks bloody good. I like a bit of bling, me.

Eh? A zillion years ago when trying to fit as many gauges to my car as possible, I had one of these. I though it was a very simple device driven only by the amount of pressure detected - not affected by mixture or 'owt else. Thus "jumping on the gas = high compression = poor" and "not jumping on the gas = lower compression = good", and "tootling about at part throttle = best". Nope? A fun toy but not much else I thought. Nay?

Your cat sounds funny. Probably wants feeding.

True. Best car I ever had in the snow - Morris 1000 Traveller. (I mean for driving of course).

Ta for the photos Matt. I reckon that Ebay kits got just any old photos bunged in. It can't be right as it is. The sneaky bit is they bung in the line "Please Note: Wheel hubs will need machining to fit this kit" which is whats wound-up Swifty I think, since he's got a Canley set and doesn't want to attack them with a grinder or what-not. All very confusing/annoying. I think perhaps his kit will be on Ebay soon.......

Think this is a whole kit Matt, a pricey one it is too - £400+ on ebay right now - but the thing it my mate's bought one and it didn't say that the hubs needed machining. Make any sense? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-GT6-Wilwood-Brake-Kit-Powerlite-4Pot-Calipr-247-/290582634764?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43a813210c

Ta mate - a thread - I should have thought of that.
