I’m making whiskey sauce. I don’t like the smell of whiskey, so I have never tasted it....


Until today.


At the age of 61 I have just had my first taste of whiskey. It’s not horrible. I might buy a decent bottle one day and see what that’s like.

Glen Moray is a good starting place for a reasonable Whisky, @ £20-£22 a bottle

Glen Moray is a good starting place

The bottom of the bottle is a good finishing place

They were rather prone to doing that - iirc the problems were down to the aly block... The Imp was a great concept but badly thought out.

I'm on the Mini side of this debate. 998cc Cooper with a race cam = bonkers but fun

If they ran short on water or a hose went they overheated and the head/block warped.

One thing you can say about the A-series engine is that it was pretty well much bomb-proof. It wasn't nearly as fancy pants as the Imp's engine with its aluminium block, but it was reliable.

Quite quick

EDIT - BTW if anyone wonders what that monstrosity is at @4: 16 it's an Imp van/estate

Wasn't that a Hillman Husky ?

The engine was originally a Coventry Climax engine.

In other news, the LH 90B pen and watercolour is coming on a treat. I've started adding colour to the surroundings. The car itself is almost done.

Mine didn't but as said I had the posh version a Stiletto

I think it was Sunbeam Stiletto and Hillman Californian.
