The David Morton "Get Your Car On The Road" Thread

[Keith]

OK. This is a motivational thread. David has the most fantastic GTD in BRG and stainless panels. He's had loads of pilot style gizmos fitted like ILS, MKII Bomb Sight, Vulcan Cannon Remote, things like that.

I want David to drive this to the Le Mans Classic this year. It's been parked up for years and occasionally gets tampered with, so this is a wake-up call to throw it back together and tested in time to drive to the Classic.

Anyone else who has any motivational ideas that might assist this project, please post them here:

They were taken with a rather battered N97 so yes, a lot of room for improvement!

5 years into my build, I'm keeping my mouth firmly shut on this one!

Isaac,
Nothing,
I went on the piss at lunch time with some nice red wine.
Then I went to a highly recommended restaurant late
in the afternoonand tied one on, so as to speak.
All a bit average in reality.
My normal fish restaurant is flooded out (although its upstairs
at the Marina in Bourne End) and there is no access. The flood water
is quite dangerous as it has all sorts of things such as jobbies etc so I'll keep
clear.
I do like sitting by the river when its a bit warmer - and watch some of the bodies
floating past.
This thread is a bit "in yer face" anyway. I do what I want, when I want and no amount
of daft comments will coerce me to do otherwise.
Right, it's 0500 and I feel like checking how high the flood water has risen.

 

[Keith]

"In your face"

Liking that a lot.

So, any progress?

 

[David Morton]

Pass. Next Q?
The flood is about another 6 to 8 inches deeper but I'm alright Jack.

 

[Keith]

We've got yellow snow on it's way now....:sad:

Another Q. OK Would you rather fight 100 duck size horses or one horse sized duck?

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

How do you spell duck?

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

Well done, Colonel Mouseturd- keep the pressure up. You WILL prevail. Whatever prevailing means here.

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

I think that some reverse psychology is required given that David is such a cantankerous old bugger and likely to do the exact opposite of what anyone tells him to do!
I'll start.
David it's too bloody wet and miserable to work on the car, I suggest you go to your favourite
Restaurant for lunch with some mates and get on the piss. The bloody car won't go anywhere.
