OT : I love thunder....
|
... especially when its so close and loud that it almost seems sub bass and
shakes the house - thud thud thuddity rumble etc etc and gubbins.
|
I go to Cuba.
Most days the weather is bright sunshine, followed by epic
thunderstorms, with lightning to match.
I come back to London.
Same thing.
I think there's a reasonable chance I may be Thor.

Here, take thith vatheline.
|
Pass me that hammer, old chap ...
#Everywhere you go ...
|
The car towing the caravan in the video for that song was an original FIAT
Multipla.
|
God help us all if you ever buy an Alfa.
|
I'm tempted to get a classic Rangie with an RPI 5.2-litre conversion and a
few other detail improvements.
|
Get yourself an Overfinch.
|
|
A monotreme with taste, there's unusual.
I'm seriously considering putting a larger motor in my Rangie, a 5.2 with
the turbo could well be amusing.
|
|
Nothing wrong with that.
I'm rather tempted by the idea of buying something *mentally*
consumptive, petrol-wise, before the price goes inevitably into the
stratosphere. One of the mid-era Overfinch models, for example ...
Trouble is, I have enough trouble parking one motah around these parts -
2 would be an impossible task.
|
My interest piqued, I looked at Overfinch's site ...
And found this:
Much, *much* later than I would normally look at, but by god I bet it's
fun.
If ever a company could be said to have "wibble fish hatstand" as a
mission statement, it's Overfinch. The other one being that fruitloop

I've heard mixed reports of supercharged Rover V8s. I'd obtain a decent
Rangie and hand it over to RPI to put a full Stage 3 LPG-converted lump in
it, and expect to do it on a budget of around 10-12 large. That and having
a respectable but lived-in old truck that will happily get to 60 in under 10
seconds.

of a Swiss/German chap, Sbarro, who used to build replicas of the old
1920-30s Packard straight-8 cars, with the straight 8 engine being a
hand-tooled ally shell, concealing *two* rover 3.5 V8s linked together.
Or his rear engined, 911-turbo powered, Golf "GTi" ...
You have to love eccentricity.

Right, lets see if I can reproduce the photo below with my new camera, tis a
bit lighter now.
|
We had comedy rain and thunger here too.
|
Thunger - what you hear when you're *really* hungry.
|
I've never seen so much lightening with so much rain in England. It
seemed like somewhere far more tropical for a bit.
|
It stopped here as soon as I hit post ..... boring.
