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.

Kevin was totally troubleshooting it in the truck on the way to his house last night, and was so sure it was something simple.. Awesome news Garm!!

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.

Did Monty sell the car? If so, curious where it ended up.
