Update Update to the Update

Ivan

58 59 now 63 now

Merritt Island, Florida

94 Japanese Cooper Monte Carlo (with a broken differential) Gearbox fixed! Now I need to refurbish a radius arm radius arms fixed but brakes need bleeding and and the steering pulls to the right

After working on the Space Shuttle's obsolete technology for over 31 years, I needed a new challenge in obsolete technology ... keep my first Mini running. As a matter of fact I have another rocket engineer interested in helping me fix my Mini. Beginning to lose interest in the Mini, plus it is scary to drive it in the current crazy traffic conditions.

What does not ache? Amazing, I continue to find more things that ache! There is so much pain and aches that working on the Mini is not fun any more. 

I have been a hairless wonder for most of my life. Still no hair. What were you expecting here?

When they put the eye chart in front of me, I can not see past the first line without glasses. Cataracts are in the upcoming agenda......
