Well, that was short lived fun. #2 cylinder or valve or something isn't happy, so the car is back with Kevin.

Actually runs pretty good on three, about like the 1600. :P

ok, I am officially an idiot. It was a bad spark plug. That is all.

The only downside is that I'm here, it's there, and there's a storm approaching. Saturday retrieval I think!

Ah, the good ole days, a fun run.
Garm's car is now Monty's car which was for sale recently.
