Unka Jesse,

You should be ASHAMED of yourself!!!!! Fancy having a 12" to the foot scale
engine that you have just neglected like that...... The next thing you'll
tell me is that it's not stored under shelter!!! Come on man...... If you
are willing to put that Dodgy vehicle of yours ( just how far did you have
to push it, to take your computer in to be fixed...? ) under cover, then
that T.E. of yours should get a little better treatment.....

Now, I'm sure Charles and Al will give you a hand to retube it, if you ask
them nicely (and take your gun as extra persuasion). Then, you'll be able to
tow the Dodgy next time you need to go into town..... at a higher speed than
it normally goes.........

Oh, and a couple of pic's of this T.E. sent to everyone, would also be a
nice appology gesture......



Cheers,

Phill. ( who can't wait to see Jesse's reply to my very cheeky email )
