A guide to Menisc-ese

Being a monkey, Meniscus has his own way of talking. Sometimes it seems like he's being a bit grumpy and  even downright insulting. I can assure you that he means it all! Anyway, just so you know what he's on about - here's a glossary of regular insults used by Meniscus...

'TP' - 'Toss Pot' - Driver of the 305 car!
'Simmo @ Brum' - Somebody not going very quick!
'Gary-Wrenched' - Taken out by someone out of control!
'Scrot' - Short for scrotum (Latin for scrutineer!!! Honest!)

MENISCUS'S TOP TIPS:
1. Measure twice, cut once!!!



Hello again - Meniscus calling... 

When I'm calling yoo-ooo-ooo...

Ready For Skeg? - I think NOT!!...

 
...I set my hibernation alarm a couple of weeks early after the NEC, 'Well the weather's warm it could be spring' - TP didn't look as though he had a chance of making it for the first Skeg meeting on the 4th of March. I have assessed the current situation and I think I should just go back to bed until May. The lazy sod still hasn't got a chance of making it without me putting my foot up his backside for the next couple of weeks - my foot won't make him work any faster, but my head can sweep up as he potters about.
 
He said to me the other day 'Can I ask a question?' - well you didn't give me much chance there did ya TP! 'What do you think for the chassis Red or Black?' I said 'Red' so he painted it matt black, bllaacckk, bblllaaaaccckkkkk, everything has gone black - 'very colourful?' He did say 'The colour is a secret - don't tell anyone' I know what a secret is you arse - but that doesn't mean I have to keep it - does it?
 
At least he is working on the car now - I noticed he has stripped all the front end off it, the axle is out and all the panels are off and the chassis is painted - he will never know where everything goes, if he ever starts putting it back together. 'One would assume that the trailer is finished, now he is working on the car, wouldn't one?' (One - how posh is that?) 'Finished' - apart from the bar to stop the wheels falling off and the last 2 or 3 lights and the tray to carry the spares, and the jerry can carrier, etc., etc. - lazy, good for nothing, waste of space...
 
Oh and the modification to the wing carrier as he managed to catch the wing (My Wing) with the front bumper hoop when he was unloading the car - what a numpty!
 
...What has he been doing while I have been asleep - a wardrobe for Rosey, a gravel drive - he has finished the character path at the side of the garage (Whats a character path, I hear you ask? - its a wobbly one!) all the things that a racing driver (Huh? Where??) needs to do before the first meeting - just to keep the peace with the Misses (What is he a Monkey or a Mouse? - A Tosser that's what!)
 
'GET ON WITH THE CAR and don't stop until its finished' - even 'Mr Gooogglyyy Doouuggly Eyes' is going to be ready before you and he has Greavsie helping him!
 
I have included some secret photo's - I had to take them first thing in the morning before he got up - so they are a bit dark
 
He is panicking now - he stood there the other day pointing at his wrist asking 'what time is it?' - I know where my watch is pal - where's yours? I don't point at my crotch and say 'where's the toilet?' (Anyway normally I do it in the fuel tank - especially if he has made me drink Milk of Magnesia - who's going to have the last laugh there then? Scrots (see Menisc-ese column on the left!) - jam jars at the ready). 
 
Anyway if he doesn't get the car finished - I may be looking for a new ride for the first Skeg so if anybody is going down from up here send me an email - you bring the wing - I'll bring the cable ties.
 
Not long now I'm getting the shakes - COME ON!!!

M

All the dodgy paint sanded off


Some more dodgy paint added!



Bumper off, rad and engine mounts out - it won't go back together!


It's not a standard Randall... Can you tell?


Stripping the car - at last!


The only bracket which is badly worn... A couple of good quality washers tacked on here will do!


No time now for new nerfs and back bumper!


Gravel... The main reason the car won't be ready!!!


Character path - She's a bit coggly!
