Stag story + glove puppet

[Paul Kelley]

This found me on Youtube. Quite well done and some interesting archive materials. Glove puppet probably not everyone's cup of tea but made me smile

Leaving aside the stupid puppet,all in all a well presented video.
I was at a local car show yesterday and having lifted the bonnet to display the engine someone trotted out the old myth about Triumph sticking two Dolomite engines together to make a V8 whereas this video tells us that the reverse is true and in fact the Dolomite engine is actually half a Stag engine.

Yes, Ye Olde Two Dolly Engines joined Together myth strikes again!
I was at the Dover Transport Museum show on Sunday, and had the bonnet open, and got given the same story...….I POLITELY ( !! ) put the gent straight on this point...….
Thought I was the only Stag there, however a private-reg. Sapphire blue car turned up later in the afternoon. Didn't meet the owner.
Would suggest going to this show next year, a good venue, the Museum was free to exhibitors, and they were cooking bacon/sausage rolls all day (£2) tea/coffee was £1 and they also have a café inside.
Huge American La France on display outside, lovely Delage and Austin 7's inside. Met a lady from Yorkshire with a "highly modified" Berkeley T60, a wee 3-wheeled rocket with huge flared front wings for the Minilites, and a "hot" 1275 A-series sticking up through the bonnet. "It does go quite well", she said......she's braver than me!!
Have a good week,
Neil.
