One hates to return this thread to its original subject but .....

.... having trained (many years ago) with Keith (KC), there is always one "dit" that springs to mind when his name is mentioned. We were discussing (as chaps do) "delaying the inevitable" in a Singing Detective sense (if you catch my drift ) ...

...KC related that on one (or more) such occasion, he would attempt to recall in detail the problems of replacing the engine in a Twin-Cam MGA .... very little clearance and required much expertise apparently .... took his mind off the pressing problem to an extent that the problem was resolved....

..... he saved my bacon as an Officer Cadet once too - by vomitting before I did - but that's another story........
