Jeff Beck was playing guitar for him on a recording session, and they got talking about the different Superstitions in the UK and U.S.
They stopped for lunch but Beck didnt want any so stayed in the studio messing aorund on the drum kit. When Stevie Wonder got back he asked who was on drums. Beck said "its me Stevie". He told him to keep playing what he was playing, then started playing along on keyboards and then singing some lyrics as they came into his head.
The result was...........

I finally  managed to eject an old Innervisions CD out of the Honda  Jazz CD player
Some of the old sweats on here were probably around in 1973 to buy the tape  ;D
also discovered a live recording from a German TV studio & like the following

Just supposing I won 40 odd million on the lottery, would I buy it  ??? Hell yer
Then I`d enter it in a classic car race & it`s nice to dream occasionally  :y
I really dream of a race prepared Austin A35  8) & taking her up to the Goodwood circuit.

plenty of cars locally with "quick sale" notices in the widows
I`ve now added a cheap 2010 Honda Jazz to the fleet, EX model with lots of toys.
Noisy top end, so unbelievably preparing to adjust the tappets on the 1.4 lump  ::)


it's probably never been over 3000rpm(with the clutch fully engaged), with oil changes about every 3 years to get close to the mileage interval. A couple of quick, cheap oil changes and prolonged motorway driving would do it some good.

One elderly owner & then passed around a local family.
tapperty from the top end & adjustable tappets under the valve cover
The oil is as black as soot, think it`s fully synth 0-30  :-\

A noisy 10 year old Jazz, can't think why that would be cheap.  :-\

Now that my Mig needs some extensive work  :( I`m sure it`ll be  fine  :)

My great grand father policed the British Empire with his regiment between the wars.
I`ve got a foto somewhere of him with his mates sitting around  dirty great big machine gun
I think they used it to persuade the locals to stop expressing their 'freedoms'  :-X

General Discussion Area / Re: BA To Leave Gatwick?
« on: 05 May 2020, 18:57:03 »


  I note that BA are saying it will be YEARS before air travel recovers to pre virus levels. It will make the after affects of 9/11 seem like a picnic :'( :'(

good, we fly far too easily in modern times,

Maybe, but think of the consequences of all this on jobs, like Doctor Gollum’s, the Gatwick and Heathrow staff, the service industry, the aircraft maintenance crews, the aircraft builders, etc, etc!

It is going to be horrendous :'( :'( :'(

We can go green, turn our backs on modernity, but then live through the worst recession the World has ever known with people, including children, starving on the streets.  Is that all worth it? :P :P
Last week it was rotting corpse on the streets, now it's starving children. Get a f**king grip.

I have got a grip Steve with the knowledge that in distant places, like India, there are already starving kids as the sweat shops, that at least used to pay their employees the local going rate, have shut down due to U.K., and other countries, retailers cancelling orders and not paying the contracted severance money.

Our, Europe’s, and America’s welfare state will support our poorest, made redundant, workers so long, but when the financial situation hits the buffers........already the food banks are overwhelmed...........so yes, even in good old Britain “starving kids” could well be a horrible reality. :'( :'( :'(

If you cannot see that...... ::) ::)

If not starving, locally we have kids going hungry before all of this kicked off.  Lower paid, working single parent families have suffered as wages fall behind living costs.
Really struggled to find enough food to put on the table & turning to food banks to top up meager rations.

when I was doing the same job, whoops 5 years ago it might need doing again shortly

The lug on the  WP needs to sit in the recess of the plastic  cowl, the correct position looking at the foto means my WP needs rotating anti-clockwise ; if you get my meaning
But you probably already know this anyway  ::)
I`ll get another Gates kit which includes the WP,

My ears are glowing in the dark now, I need to stay out of the sun  :(
