water ingress

[caspian pugh]

My Willie used to swear by a product called Seek n Seal by Comma products for sealing ingress between worn rubber window seals. Alternatively you could move to Kentucky where a constant effulgence of hot air rather than rain is the problem.

Kisses from Cass.

Thanks Cass, They don't make that stuff any more but I found another company that does a similar product although it does sound more like a gynaecological cure.

It is Captain Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure

Capt. Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure

I hope it solves all your creeping crack issues !

[browning l]

We love you, too, Cassie...tell Willie "Hello, and Happy New Year!"

Good luck, with your creeping crack.

PS. It's raining here.

Lou-Lou,

That's nice, you really are quite sweet. I thought you had fallen out with my Willie after quoting Gene Roddenberry to you.

Perhaps in the New Year we could all meet up and I can wean you away from that rough corn whisky you have in Kentucky with a few nice glasses of Laphroaig and Lagavulin.

Best wishes for the New Year,

Kisses from Cass.

Can anyone tell me what this correspondence is about? For a moment I thought it was spam, until I saw it was from the Bristol Cars Info site.

It's the tail end of the latest ramblings of an apparently Gay Atheist; or
so we are lead to believe. Enjoy them whilst they last!


Happy New Year

Ouch,

Clawed by Claude. At least my billet doux has prompted you to put electronic pen to electronic paper n'est pas?

And there's me thinking I had posted on the Bristol Cars Owners & Enthusiasts Forum.

But Claude, it is so lovely to hear from you, my Willie was only just asking, what ever happened to that Bristol Cars e-book you were so keen on, will it be proudly unveiled in 2011 or just another dead duck of a pipedream?

Whatever, I must remonstrate with you in the strongest possible terms. Your crotchety waspish rebuke is no way to start the 2011 posting season unless you are suffering extreme prurient itching caused by transfer pediculous infestation from a wandering marsupial - and even so that would still be bad form. Better that you perhaps respond to one of my two technical queries posted here for which to date I have had no replies................

Pughie, old chappie, your words, "rough corn whisky you have in Kentucky" show your lack of awareness of such whiskey delights as Old Pogue Reserve, or Woodford Reserve, or the many boutique bourbons now available...smoother than anything your old willie has ever encountered...anywhere.

Having become an imbiber of Scotch whisky rather than bourbon c.the mid-'50s, I'm more than a tad familiar "with...Laphroaig and Lagavulin..." and their ilk; the Islays have much more appeal to me, however.

May the new year awaken in you new awareness of God's world and his wonders.

Oh you naughty man - I think perhaps you are playing a game with me here!!!!!

Willie & I know very little about bourbon but interestingly it seems that bourbon in the UK is now being marketed as a base to make sophisticated cocktails. I should love to try some of the good stuff and we will research the two you recommend.

Tara for now,

Dear Cass,

The query on my part was sincere. I subscribe to the 8 & 10 cyl Bristol cars forum because I own one and value the information members give and find sometimes my knowledge is useful as well. When a question on a windscreen leak rambled off to what seems to be a private conversation on whiskey and Wille I first presumed it was spam, then reading the header, wondered if some intermediate BEEF emails had gone AWOL and I missed the link. Looking more carefully, I ended up baffled, so I asked.

It appears from your answer that indeed you are a member of the forum with a Dame Edna writing style and that perhaps you have read more into my correspondence than was written. I still seem to be missing the link between Geoffrey and Lou Lou but that's OK, it adds to the mystery of life.

In answer to your question, the idea of combining Bristol knowledge into a permanent archive seems to have been taken up by BODA, not from my proposal but rather their own frustration with the BOC not pursuing such an obvious club duty. I had proposed an actual printed book using print on demand that can be updated as knowledge is added, but there was insufficient enthusiasm to merit going further. Perhaps BODA might consider such a project.

What technical questions did you ask that remain unanswered? I find this forum has an excellent record of providing good answers. Perhaps you should re-ask.

Thank you for your good wishes in the New Year. It has begun glorious with warm, sunny days, and yesterday my wife decided we should celebrate with a classic down-under barbie, which is a slight problem since we don't have one. But we did have bored house guests and enough scrap steel in the workshop to fashion one in a couple of hours of cutting and welding, and the steaks, sausages and veggies were great. Now if only I can get the house guests interested in bolting back the crosslinks on the 411... but I digress.

As a geographical footnote, no marsupials here, mate. Wrong island, try Aussie, about 1,500 miles to the left as the petrel flies.

Heavens to Betsy and great to hear from you Claude,

Not sure what Geoffrey has to do with Lou - Lou either - I thought he preferred Prince Charles? Anyhow, those BODA boys are really good eggs. Do you know Greg? he's the imposing chap with the beard that makes my Willie look a wimp. well, I digress but Greg has invited us both to join BODA and I think we will get on famously as he has also suggested that the Northern Bristol contingent support the Manchester Pride weekend by providing a Bristol cavalcade - simply super. I could never see the BOC matching that - such a closed group!

I must take you to task on the marsupial content of your lovely islands. If you go down to the woods today you may be in for a surprise - for although NZ has no indigenous marsupials, there are numerous populations of introduced wallabies living in the wild as well as millions of Common Brushtail Possums, which were introduced by enterprising islanders wanting to start a fur industry. My Willie would like a few possum fur cushion for the rear parcel shelf of the Brigand - providing they have been well screened for pediculus first.

Laters,

Cass x
