oldbloke's mutterings

What's done the standing quarter mile in 13.5 - about the same as a BMW M3 or Aston Martin Vanquish - even though it STARTED in 4th?
Is now 40 years old?
Develops 220bhp at 1800rpm, 470bhp at 2000rpm? (No, I didn't miss a 0 off those rpm numbers)
Has a 24litre engine?
Is nicknamed "The ultimate laxative" ?

Yes, it’s the Napier Bentley

It struck us last night that we haven't heard anything from J about his imaginary Grandad for a while. Coincidentally there's a big article in the current Fortean Times about imaginary friends. Jack's didn't, as far as I'm aware, ever appear to him - he was just somebody who existed; J used to ask when we'd visit him, and there'd be "My Grandad said" and "At my Grandad's house there is" stuff. I think possibly J may have been there in his dreams.
