Just remember to start drinking after you start working. I remember once we started drinking before the engine pull and eventually forgot why we were there in the first place.

just be thankful that all my trial and error was on my own car. for that reason i'm probably the only person one this forus who needed 3mm seals :P

I should just get people to bring their cars to my house. always enough tools. or i should jsut by a truck.

My gauge on my Land Rover this morning read -37C. It took 10 minutes to get her to move, the transmission was a bit sluggish. Took an additional 30 minutes of driving for the wipers to work and the heater fan to kick in. Thank god for the heated windsheild.


I was going to work on my Rx-7 today, but F-that. Threw the trickle charger on her and see you later.
