It is I!!! Albert Crackleport. Oilyracer blogger, Vintafake Blogger, Locked down and now unlocking slowly. Pocking head out of the door to check no neighbours near..Then run at speed towards the shed. Hoping no nasty germs land on me....The Covid19 has upset the world bias for sure.....nothing is spinning in the same direction. Except of course your scribs in the Oilyracer workshop. Never ever will we change our allegiance to the Vintafake cause. .
Looking through some old vehicle papers I came across correspondance to a certain Horace Tomkinson who lived in Ellesmere Port. South Wirral. UK. Very much doubt the old boy is still with us. He was probably 70 then.!!The year was 1993. Horace was a pensioner then!!!!That would make him over 100 years old !!!!Thank goodness I wrote and procured the treasure.
All transactions by letter, ink on paper, posted in an envelope with a 1st class stamp....(must have taken weeks)
I bought 2 x J.A.P. engines for £50....
Here's the transcript...

One of the engines I built into the almost legendary 'FB J.A.P. Stubble Tracker' The other which I considered the better one of the 2 still awaits awakening....sleeping in a cardboard box in the cellar.
Ain't life brilliant?


Hey, stay safe, out of virus harm and we will meet on the road somewhere, sometime, somehow.

Beer'o'clock. Time Mrs Crackleport fired up the beast and went in search of a flagon or 2.
