Very nice Jeff. Still think you should put the caps back on your wheels though...

Kids helped me wash the car this weekend, and managed to drag a bucket across the hood! Funny thing was I didn't mind since the kid did it. Some punk in a parking lot and I'd have his a$$, but it didn't really bother me this time.

In fact, the biggest reason I'm glad I don't have a garage queen is the fear of damage. My car get's a little scratch - no big deal. ///M5 GQ get's a scratch, OMG I'M GONNA DIE!

Sorry about the hood...things I have to look forward to eh?

I actually can laugh a bit as I had a similar story. Wife was watering the side garden and managed to pull the hose all across the top of the car hood. The hose was wet and covered with mud...oh my...bad...huge scratches. Boy oh boy...I was so mad at myself too. I had seen her pulling that hose thru the carport and said one of these days this is gonna happen. Sure enough, it did... Should have said something first. (Of course, then I would have been the goat and got "the look"). Wasn't gonna win in either case on that one.



Post a pic of your Rig. Derick was asking the other day how it was...said he missed it.

Jeff hope too meet up with the other 5ers in the Pacific NW some day.

We should meet at Jeff's garage in the morning to remove a crank nut. I should be able to remove it with a couple fat guys holding the block down. I'll bring the big wrench set. I guess the block will need to be put on the ground as we damn near flipped the stand last effort; a block of wood, some cheater bar.

Jeff hope too meet up with the other 5ers in the Pacific NW some day.

Martin are you and Jeff neighbors? I sure would be interested and see all the stuff you too have done to your cars. I would like to also check out those shifters. Are you using the Z8 ssk?

[Martin in Bellevue]

The z8 shifter is decent. I had the mz3 shifter; the plastic ball wore out quickly. I had an autosolutions sport shifter in a 635csi; it was great.

I am in Bridle Trails.

Where are you Ted?

Martin and I are a couple miles away.

BTW - he's gonna offer to work on your car. Gawd, whateveryoudo - don't let him touch it. We don't call him Uncle Snappy for nothing. Ask him about that really nice drill and extractor set he owns. That, or he forgets to tighten it all together.
