    Default Hope to stop at 12 (John Elliot content)



    I won the bid on this one last night. A fat smiling blade should be just what the beard ordered!

    A dozen i have now... 2 short of a fortnight. A perfect fortnight for those who skip a day. Get enough English steel and you start using British terms and spelling "tyre" funny.

    apologies to the other bidders, but i didn't mean to spend that much. THIS is why the acquisition must slow down, now that I know what i want i'm spending too much on them. The cost per blade has really gone up. But, as said, NOW i've a much better idea of what i like, and what i can fix.

    That one, well, I -liked- it too much.

    I thought a fortnight was 20 days, but then I don't say bumbershoot or loo.

    Edit: I was thinking apparently of a score..

    But does a bonnet cover your head or engine?

    The bonnet covers the engine and you put your suitcase with your trousers in it in the boot...

    My dogs must have commandeered the computer WRT nonsense above ^^^.

    So anybody have a clue as to the decade(s) of production of the John Elliot shown?

    bonnet to boot!

    where we say "bumper to bumper".

    and then the Yermans put the engine under the boot sometimes! or does that make the car wrong-way-'round, except when traveling in reverse?

    The correct answer would be both I suppose, unless there's a Brit word for head covering. Toque is French I reckon, oui?

    edit: Heck i don't know what a fortnight is, I didn't look it up, was working from memories. Sometimes i wing it. Our calendar is whack anyway, 12 months but 52 weeks? There's an extra month in there. FortLoco
