During Cappy's time in motor racing, he was in the pits at Bathurst, lolling around with his meticulously prepared machines, and he gave Phil Ward a hand to stick a brand new engine into his Ford. With the race soon to start and no time to run the engine in, Phil grabbed some Ajax and poured some into each plug hole. It was a little hard to start and nobody stood in line with the exhaust, but once out, it did the job and finished the race. Note to BlueHead owners ..... It doesn't work so well with 2 strokes.

For the non-hoons in the NES, Turbine Enterprises now owns Bathurst and all surrounding land through to 100 kms past Orange, including Cappy's ggg'father's blacksmith shop at Lucknow. Turbine Precious Metals have reopened the Ophir, Hill End & Chamers Creek goldfields (They now supply directly to Fort Knox, bypassing they Perth Mint who cannot be trusted, given the latest sand scandal), the circuit has been rebranded as Mt Turbirama, Bathurst is now just called "Thirst" (after Turbine Psychology & Mental Health suggested that he face up to his so-called "Drinking Demons") and since he also owns 80% of the freehold in Orange, that name cannot be used to describe any fruit other than that which is grown by the Turbine Citrus Conglomerate around the world.

As we know, the Poms have always been frugal with "the paper" whereas the Irish would always help out a neighbour, and this difference inevitably led to civil war. Of course when the King sent soldiers to Ireland he was perplexed at how easy it was for the Irish to find concealed English soldiers and escape, but of course now we know. This also was why .............. Cappy's heartfelt explanation explains a few things that Turbo had always wondered about. When he was building the Jabiru, he'd made his own wheels, since wheelwright skills had been passed down the Cook family. This explains why the Jab had steel rimmed wagon wheels. It might be unfair to say this but there were wheel ruts all over the Kapooka Paddock, where the taxpayers, through the ADF had graded an airstrip) Another novel feature of his Jab was the girth strap and the draf chains, beautifully made, but limiting him to only one case of Brown Bros Red at their short strip. Our US NES readers might ben interested to know that the symbol for Florida is no longer the Orange, but in a deal carved out by Turbo and the Governor or Florida Enrico Garcia, the State is limited to claiming Turbine Orange Juice, and Turbine Orange Blossom. Here's a young Turbo playing Banjo (note the ring with the Turbine Family Crest. Playing along is the great Roy Clark who could play any instruments including a milk can. Turbo wrote this song for Florida.
