Barrie Jervis' Car

I spoke to Barrie today... He had finished his car and it was on the road.. all was well until... an electrical fault brought it to an abrupt halt and it had to be pushed back to the house... Back to the drawing board and the wife said those immortal words "Will it ever be finished?"

Barrie was very up about it, just another challenge; though it was one he really could have done without right now!

So folks, once this short... thought to be somewhere around the steering column (which from memory could mean several circuits including the ignition) has been sorted, the so far unseen vehicle may well appear in the flesh so to speak... it was becoming as much a legend as Geoff's car... much talked about but never actually seen... watch this space it may yet reveal a new (previously unseen) car.

DID HE WRITE TO HIS INSURER TELLING THEM THAT HE WAS NOT HAPPY AND ABOUT TO SUE THEM

Who's Barrie Jervis :

HE`S A PAST CHAIRMAN, FROSTY TOOK OVER FROM HIM

What about Satnams 1300?? Surely its as "legendary" as mine - especially
as I think he`s been at it longer!

Satnams Lido

Seen the photos n PCM had the wing ..... or some thing !

I SOLD SATNAM SOME DOORS A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT I HAVE SEEN PICTURES OF IT SO I KNOW HE HAS ONE WATCH OUT GEOFF HE MAY HAVE IT DONE BEFORE YOU FINISH IT :shock: :shock: :shock:

Haha! - you really enjoy ribbing poor Geoff about his car Paul! in fact i think we should sell tickets to the grand event of Geoff unveiling his car to an ususpecting public... picture the scene -Geoff's beast atop a grand stage, have scantily-clad ladies pulling a silk cover off it as dry ice rolls across the setting... it would be a sell-out! Of course it goes without saying the highlight of the event would be watching you, Paul faint with shock! you'd have to nick one of Martin's hats and eat it...... :lol: :lol:

If Satnam's 1300 engine totally sorted, probably cleaner than when they came out of the factory is anything to go by, the car will be too nice to actually use properly *




* use properly = rev gauge being 'exercised' , car sideways with wheels spinning for grim death! lol

NICE ONE JIM YOU START MAKING THE SANDWHICHS AND I WILL DO THE REST THIS COULD BE A GOOD DAY OUT FOR HCN AND LSE AT GEOFF`S MUM`S GARAGE, :shock: :shock:

Ha Ha . very droll chaps! - but the stick I get from you guys in the club, pales into insignificance compared to my "ordinary" mates, who are waiting for me to give up on it, and hacksaw it in half,- in order to scrap it, - just like I did to another old car (classic capri), I was ahlfway to restoring, way back in the seventies! ............
but thats another story!!
Suffice to say that the unveiling will be at a specially arranged pub meet,
hopefully in the spring, where I will personally stand all the drinks. It will be worth it just to see the legendary PCM jaw, drop to the tarmac!!

GEOFF IF YOU HAVE IT DONE BEFORE WE GO TO IRELAND I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO BUY YOU DRINKS UNTILL YOU FALL OVER :shock: :shock: :shock: , SO COME ON ALL I WON`T YOU TO DO IS FINISH THE BLODDY THING

Dont worry Paul, it doesnt take many drinks to get Geoff to fall over....!

Never mind how easily Geoff can be made to fall over. I'll fall over just from the excitement of seeing his car finished.
From the couple of pics I have seen it looks like a restoration to shame the rest of us. Amazing job Geoff, keep going!!

TO TRUE FRANCIS, I JUST WON`T HIM TO FINISH IT SO HE CAN SHOW IT OFF AND FEEL PROUD OF WHAT HE HAS ACHIEDE OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS, KEEP GOING GEOFF THE END IS IN SIGHT.
