This one could be made to leak nicely Drew:

I thought the old English cars weak spot was the electrical system. Although I had a 1967 Austin Heally Sprite that never gave me any trouble. In British Racing Green of course!

It's Italian cars that have the dodgy electrics.
Apart from all being built by people who could not have cared less, old british cars just rot. They just turn to brown dust overnight in our less than perfect climate.
Best Regards,

I am not a fan of Facebook, therefore I don't join. I know I am missing out, but call me paranoid.
Anyway, For those interested in AVR's, the Boothbay Regional Historical society, Boothbay Harbor, Maine, holds a large, 50-100, collection of original negatives documenting 63' AVR's built by Sample's Boatyard, Boothbay Harbor. Link to their site http://boothbayhistorical.org/
As well,
I have and am happy to share a small series of build's photographs of Admiralty design HDML's built in Ellsworrh Maine during WW 2, as well as a series of photos from the Bangor Public Library showing AVR's of various sizes that were stationed at Southwest Harbor Maine both during and post war.

Paranoid doesn't begin to describe...  These are some really nice photos, guys.
For those of you who don't know him, Jon is, among other things, a wicked good ship modeler and all around nice guy.

Speaking of wicked good modelers, here's a link to a 1/350 PT boat by the extremely talented and regulation-issue good guy Chuck Bauer.
He has depicted PT-34, the boat whose crew included Quartermaster 1/c Albert P. Ross manning the bow machine gun. This gentleman went on to sire some sort of a son who dabbles in the trade......
