Just write Gaylord. It saves a lot of words.

You're one of the crab people.

I have no idea what that means, however thanks for the input.

Really

I like to think I'm a gaylord, however, it's just that I'm pish with stuff that doesn't interest me.

I duno, writing the sentence that way lacks panache

Th AA are good at getting people out of situations like this one. There a site worker at my place of work who's spent mega amounts of money on his triumph spitfire

It had a triumph T4 engine in it with an electric fuel injection sytem on to keep up with the petrol usage. He decides he wants to put some fancy carbs on the car so he does, but when he try's to get the car going it wont start. He rings up the AA chaps and tells them it just wouldn't start when he came to it in the morning.

The nice AA man took a quick look at it and told him to get in it while he pushed him down the hill to bump start it, cause all he had done was flooded the engine so it wouldn't start

/edit guy stuff.

I think effy just wants me to post the recently plagurised 'I have no idea what that means, however thanks for the input.' line again

It's actually a V Poor rod. Cars with electronic fuel injection don't have carburators.

Only a n00b would fall for that one.

Nah-I used to build them, that's all.

I do have one of them, though.

Makes about 450 HP.

How many torques has it got.

About 325 ft.lbs.

I have it cammed for a fairly light car.

Such a lack leads you to mistakes of the chrome waste bin variety.

Having hobbies thus allows you solitary activities to tide you past those days when no one can abide you on a bar-stool.

Strictly a matter of self-sufficiency.
