It’s been raining here since 10am, and still it comes. May as well buy a bastarding Ark!

I found this piece on Uwe. What a legacy he left behind when he passed. https://driventowrite.com/2023/07/26/uwe-bahnsen-an-unsung-design-hero/

First job was at a Ford subsidiary as a Precision tool maker apprentice. 1 Pound per hour for a 49 hr week. Hated every minute but good group of lads at college. Decided I didnt want to be stuck in a factory for the rest of my working life. Left as soon as I qualified and havent been near a lathe or milling machine since. Still got my old imperial Micromiter though and still know how to read it. No digital verniers in those days. Saved like mad through my three years and bought my first Ford. An RS2000 for £2995.00 only had 30k on it as it was only 3 years old. How times change.
