Well, it's only the end of March, but this gets my vote as the funniest post of the year!

That isn't a Seagull!... this is a Seagull.....

Be nice Jim, back when the world was young I used to dream of owning one....

A nice collector's piece ... pity about the location

You have never actually used a seagull, am I right?

I used to own one but used it very little...... and not from lack of opportunity or trying.

I do hear claims from some that if you have the magic touch and know the secrets they are reliable and simple to use but I was never able to acquire the necessary skills.

I've got the touch, but by having the touch I would not call it reliable. For some reason the British built this thing with a cosmic connection to chicken sacrifice. Thereby making it pseudo reliable to a fraction of a percent of the population of the planet earth.

I had one of these. it was somewhere between 1 1/2 and 3 HP according to the manual. Even the builder wasn't sure. However it always started after the first or second pull! Sold it to someone in Bermuda. took it back with him as check in baggage from Toronto. guess it's still running.

Are you sure you had "the touch"? Maybe you were just "touched".

I still have my old 5hp Sea Gull. It took me all over the Keys and Bahamas on an older 21' San Juan years ago and it still putts along just fine. A bit of the magic touch for sure, or just knowing where to turn the screw driver. It's a simple little beast. Pretty decent for a British motor. Now that old MG Midget of mine...

The British had an uncanny knack for turning raw materials into unreliable machines with labels like Triumph, BSA, Norton, MG, Austin Healey, and British Seagull.

Thanks to recycling, eventually all the crap they made can be melted down and re-purposed.
