You can try to keep selling it but it won't work!
<span style="color: #990000">Don- a small white lie Julian and I cooked up
for everyone's amusement.
Both my TR and boat have been stone cold dead these past three
weeks. The boat has been in and out of several professional repair
shops while I installed the high performance stuff
myself. Friday afternoon the boat was ready for a test run
on Sunday.
Meanwhile, I was also busting my hump trying to come up with
at least some temporary repairs to the Crypt Car that would
bring the Beast to marginal operational status so Julian could
take a spin while on-island.
I was to pick Julian up at 6:00 PM Saturday evening.
At 2:00 PM Saturday afternoon the car was back together but
with one test mile having been accomplished without a breakdown.
I put my faith in my own repair work and headed out to pick up
Julian in the Crypt Car and make the beach highway run.
Just about 70 new miles clocked without breakdown on
my temporary repairs. White knuckles, waiting for the
inevitable breakdown every minute I drove.
The car is now garage parked until such future time as I can
afford to make proper repairs. So it not broke down but it's
not really reliably operational either.
Julian and I hope all enjoyed a our little scam!!
I'll be enjoying my high performance tarpon boat and fishing
while the Crypt Car sleeps waiting for properly funded parts
and repairs. An auto mechanic I am NOT. But I can tarpon fish
with the Pros.
