[JimmyMac]

I wonder if he has the log book for it ?

 

[Paul Brameld]

That's treemendous ! :stunned:

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

You blokes are bark-ing up the wrong tree, I already twigged it is a hoax.
I'd leaf it well alone.

 

[Jack]

I wonder if it would be sold with an agricultural inspection sticker for termites.

 

[Martin]

Wooden't touch it with a barge pole.

 

[JimmyMac]

Wooden't touch it with a barge pole.

But it has a fresh wood block and new tree rings on those piston.
And the "timbre" of those carbs with branch headers would sound great.

 

[Nick]

Perhaps he will now branch out and build a body for it.

 

[JimmyMac]

Nick,
Yes, that engine is pining for a place in the trunk of a car.

 

[Terry Oxandale]

I....heck with it...I give up. And all this time I thought the major talent on this show was limited to mechanical .

 

[JimmyMac]

I....heck with it...I give up. This has become terminal.

'Chipped' in ?

 

[Ian Anderson]

Ferrari - "Root" of al evil?

 

[Chris E]

It looks OaK to me.

 

[Ian Anderson]

Nobody seems to be "Pine"ing for it

 

[Paul Brameld]

You can even Cedar throttle springs :embarassed:

 

[JimmyMac]

Those must be Holly carbs.

 

[Keith]

What do Yew suppose it will sell for? :blank:

 

[Chris Simpson]

I will have to Ash the Mrs if I am allowed to buy it.

 

But wood I buy one???? I think knot.

 

[Keith]
