My Tax office sent me a letter. Just Don't Bother. No, seriously, they just find my income so insignificant to not bother Taxing me. Kinda nice...
Take the turbo off, just the cost of a few gaskets at first, could save a rebuild. The turbos on my MTU V8's used to run cherry red with heat....
That was proper match racing, you have to wear your Big Girls' pants to do that at 40kts. Well done ETNZ.
Yes, and I got up at 03.30 to watch that. So I watched Saturday Night Live instead.
In Race 6, although the boats were only a 100m apart, the Italians fell into a wind-hole. Nothing would get LR back on her foils in time for the...
We have fitted many Iveco FPT (Fiat Power Train) engines. Brilliant engines, good spare parts supply here in Europe and simple to work on. CAT...

She used sit at the end of the IYCA dock in Antibes, perhaps went out for 2 weeks over the whole summer. The family also own several houses on the...
Those Preds were bashed out pretty quickly as a cash-cow. Make of that what you will.
Ask a big hairy-assed Italian down a dark ally? I'm sure you'll get THE definitive answer.
I still have some game in this. Shannon Falcone, Luna Rossa's trimmer, used to play in our garden. Shannon, when his Mum and Dad came to our...
That's it, all over for the Brits. Luna Rossa through to the final against NZ. That boat is FAST!!!!
Both teams went with the smaller jib, thinking the wind would build. In fact the breeze dropped. Luna Rossa just flew away, so much faster in...
The Brits got done on the start again in Race 5 and then had to do 2 penalties. Race 6 was smarter against Luna Rossa, where they got better...
They had just sailed down from the Galapagos. My old friend is skipper and sent photos to me.
