when was the last time you swapped the fluid? even if you haven't been using the car, it absorbs water over time (i think its water?) w/e it is, it does degrade.

Quite possible I need to change the fluid, that was next on my hit list.

Good weather here but with no rain there is still a lot of dust. Keeps my top up but there are plenty of interesting cars about. Today: Two Ferrari, Bentley Sports coupe, plus a few more. Saw a 4C a few days ago.

AH 3000 last week

Looking forward to getting to drive my Honda this year. Visiting the land of half priced gas as my wife puts it. Today regular is 2.41€/liter or about $9.70/gallon. And the dollar is very strong these days.1€ = $1.06. Much better than when it was $1.20s or worse.

Thanks for thinking of me Red Stwokay (Mike?) I'm foggy on the name because it's been too long and I'm not taking Prevagen.

The motor is probably not suitable for me. Too late an engine model to convert easily for my car.


Richie, I cringe when I saw how close the van is parked to the A-H. So much for the grill as it looks to be a front bumper delete model. The luggage rack is something.

Yes VERY close. I was shocked.

We had a great time and received some free and good advice from Billman. I hope he appreciates that we appreciate him.

It was a lot of fun hanging out with you El Jefe.

and good to get a clean bill of health for both cars. Well mostly as I’ll need to find a brake master cylinder and replace it on the S2000. Should be an interesting project.

Here is Jeff chatting up a young lady at a gas station on Long Island. Turns out she grew up in averill park and lives in Saratoga now. She was there to promote the energy drink and Jeff was telling her about dishwashers

Starting off the day with my Solidarity Drive For Levi 2012 commemorative tee shirt this morning.

Will probably change a little when I get down to doing my chores.
