We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Dean Dark saying something like:
I think Jerry was fishing for 'vested'. Kinda brings up a picture of Jerry, tin mug of tea and rollup in hand, clad in dirty old jeans and an oilstained vest, sitting on a oilstained bench at the back of the workshop, shouting abuse at anyone passing by the doors.
I knew that, I was just playing to the gallery.
Vestigial just seemed like an appropriate adjective, given the context.
I knew him. Most of us from back then did.
I'm not at all like you, indeed most people would kill themselves before having to live like you.

Your personalities arguing amongst yourself again, Jerry?

Only when you join in with the trolling and remove the context to my reply, I was in fact replying to the worthless troll known as ""Grimly Curmudgeon" who originally posted the words contained within the > >>

I removed no context.
I did remove attributions, however it didn't change much.
Eh? Are you reading the same internet as the rest of us?
Grimly isn't a worthless troll.
Grimly is a *priceless* troll, if he is in fact a troll. Which I doubt.
Besides, he's a fellow Spagthorpe enthusiast.

Yes you did, by removing attributions that should have been left in, you quote someone then leave their attributions in.
Oh yes it did, by removing the said attributions you tried to make it look like I was not replying to someone else.
If you think that then you are clueless.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Pete M" saying something like:
Thank you guys, I love you all. Mwah!
Oh, and Jerry? If you don't like what I post (which is merely in response to the ill-informed bile you spout) all you have to do is use your own bozo bin. Try it; if you k/f everyone you don't like your newsgroup experience will be a calmer one and your cranial bloodvessels might last longer.
This coming from someone with adornments in his Name: field.
bloodvessels
Stop talking about yourself moron, it's you who doesn't know an engine from a back-axle from a door-skin from a foreskin...
Hang on, you do know what the latter is, you play with it every time you post your ignorant little trolls to this and other groups. :~(
So?!
So I'm not taking character assassinations from you.
""Grimly
Ha, talk about the pot calling the kettle black...!
Haven't you missed out 'attempted'? ;-)
How the hell did you get 80k from one ?
I used to rebuild our own injection pumps and injectors on them - that was a 10k job for rebuilding injectors, once they'd had some age beyond brand new. Having new springs wound that _weren't_ made by Ford's "cheapify and add crapness" metallurgical research was a big improvement.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Andy Dingley saying something like:
Place I worked at the time, that was about the age when a total strip was required, with rebore, new pistons, shells and everything else to be on the safe side. We always had a rebuilt lump just sitting spare, ready to hoik in a van.
When the DI 2.5 came out, everybody jumped about laughing with joy.
Well, not immediately, but it soon became apparent that those engines were just going to run and run... quite commonly to 250k.
Hoyuss, the fuel system was s*it.
Oh dear, it's the vile Jerry pissing in this pool too. How much more of Usenet have you infested?
