I did an oil and filters change this morning. Funny thing though, my engine bay is still grubby. 🤷‍♂️ I noticed that the magnet on the engine drain plug only had tiny amount of build up, but the oil tank plug was pretty well coated in very fine material. Is this normal after 15000km’s?

Niko’s wishing he was back in blue so he’d get some free 🍩

No mention of the plates. He did mention it’s all original engine/trans to the car.

I’ve been having intermittent cold start problems. It was the 40 years old earth strap no longer having a good connection resulting in no starter kicking in. Simple job? Nope. Trans. cross member and rear sway bar has to come out to access the end on the transmission. Once cleaned up and a bit of copper based anti-seize applied it now fires up with a lively spin. cost $0 with the satisfaction of no more push starts 😬

I don’t think it’s legal. Plates have to be SECURELY affixed.

First night home and pup puts himself to bed. Slept right through the night 🙂

”What are the chances of finding the colour and model match.“ Metallics are the hardest to get right on small scale models. Usually too coarse or too thick and just don’t look right. My best result was Tamiya TS-30 Silver Leaf then topcoat with clear on 1:24 scale. This gives a nice fine realistic finish.

First time driving one of these is definitely an eye opening experience. Getting back in your own non-turbo car is sobering.

YFI Not the biggest of the litter. 2nd biggest. Father dog is a strongly built lad. Big softy though. 🙂

Not quite a Newfy. Same region..,Labrador

Happy wife, happy life. We met our new pup tonight. He comes home in 2 weeks.

I’ve got a busy day driving a moving van tomorrow so the rum will have to wait. We’ll get the Vietnam vet father in law on zoom and share a few rums later.

Join us in the driveway at dawn. you’ll still be there for your old man in spirit.

Been there a few times now. The toughest was when one of our border collies collapsed suddenly. When you see it coming with old dogs you are prepared. Making the decision to end any suffering is hard but you know it’s the right call. I thought Roxy was your missus. 🤣🤣 oops.☺️
