We are old

Went to somebody's 50th bash on Saturday....

Jeez look at these old bastids as I looked around the place

Slowly realising - f*ck - I'm only 18 months away myself

Whoaaaahhhh - who is that ugly ol' bastid in the mirror I say...

oops - uhm yeah that ugly ol' mofo is me I realise

(now I just stop looking)

But seriously - I didn't see myself as old as them f*ckers at weekend

but soon me & Mrs Duck came to that horrible conclusion - it will be us very soon

Now planning on retirement homes with a skirmish site close by and easy wheelchair/zimmer frame access

Mind you they were determined - they replaced the last Avenger with a Talbot Horizon. And two more after that.

Then came the Peugeots.

My parents don't have a great history with cars....

Hillman Imp - jeez that was an odd vehicle

yup my parents got a Sunbeam - wish they got the Lotus Sunbeam

Worse one was an Alpine - jeez a bag of bolts rattling in a Quality Street tin sounded quieter than that

They always sounded like the had no friggin oil in 'em - front wheel drive engine screeming let me out let me out !!!!!

 
My least favourite car was an Austin 1300 in advacardo green, my father had one in the mid 1970s and the smell of the fumes off the plastic seats used to make me travel sick. God how I hated that car, was so pleased when we replaced it with a British Leyland Marina estate.

Not the Allegro - or rather the ALL AGRO

jeez I briefly owned one for a weekend - was a friggin' deathtrap

mainly coz brakes needing doing and so due to car's value it was beyond economical repair

Any 21yr olds chime in on this one you will be told to f*ck off.?

I refer to the few hairs I have left on my head which are mainly grey

well them grey hairs on my head and arms chest back

(not gonna lower the tone even further by checking for grey pubes etc...)

back on track - I refer to my ol bastid grey hairs as quite simply

" Threads of Wisdom "

yeah I'm an old fart but have attained snippets of wisdom by learning from my many many screw ups or mistakes over many moons/decades

(still aquiring more wisdom and I still screw up - just hopefully a little less often than in my younger "know it all" days)

Fact of the matter is I am now wiser and realise that I will never know it all - in fact very little

but old enough now to not give a to$$ about trying to prove it to them youngsters anymore

They will learn like we all did falling ar$e over tit

I'm still an ol' grumpy bastid - just a more mellow ol' grumpy bastid :)

now it is a case of - ahh the swively up nut pcb is boned - that is £500 please

wtf - can't you just replaced that iddy biddy thingy majig ???

sorry m8 - it is a whole new unit - it is how they come now

jeeez

back back on topic

glad it was 4.5 days & not 45 days delivery

yes the B3 is a kinda trickle charger but will get you going and ya feet wet using lipo's

imho anybody who buys new nimah's instead of lipo's needs their head or wallet tested

OK if somebody is selling off some good cheapish ones but sod buying new nimah's

next thing to look at is dropping tamiya to deans or T connections - but like most stuff do it in stages

get 'em charged and get shooting for now
