A friend of mine has just blown up the engine on his Lancia Integrale 💥

Badly?

It will, indeed!! 💷

I'm watching a documentary about Thomas Hardy that I found on YouTube while having a glass of Bell's Whisky which I got a present a while back.

Badly?

I believe so. Lots of expensive smoke at 116 mph
Most likely an engine rebuild needed 😔

A re-bore or re-sleeve for sure. Or maybe even a new engine if stuff's punched a hole in the side of the block.

A friend of mine once blew a Rover V8, sending stuff flying up and down the road in various bits of disrepair. Well, he was rallying the car, but *boom* is *boom*

Are they okay?
Cars can be rebuilt/replaced a lot easier.

Well at least it went before the car turned into a pile of rust.

They seemed unaware that the two don't come close.


*Murdering would be a better word.

I'm putting new bearings into a couple of wheels. The rear is fine.

The front? I squashed my finger trying to fit the bearings yesterday. And today they've completely vanished

Your fingers !

Grey here too with rain due this afternoon. I'm drinking tea from a receptacle that's somewhere between a mug and a cup. A mup, a cug?
