No K3 in my future. Brakes went out in the `97 Expedition...

After 7 hours of gymnastics on the driveway, back in operation.

You Finns are a tough bunch.

I find that those on this thread who have K-3's to be BIG hypocrites

But you didn't BUY one, so you are OK.

I confess, I bought a K-3 and, later, a K-3II... but, in my defence, the livE hociR got inside my head and made me do it. The day I saw the enlightened views in this thread for the first time, I knew I'd been duped

Yeah - heard that quoted by multiple murderers.

Well of course. And bacon , beer and pickled eggs still taste the same. And it is not like the other products from the owner, used for taking Otis type pictures at office end of year parties.

For the benefit of any law enforcement agencies currently reading this, the only murder I've committed is musical, singing in the car...

Gonna take my old 2000 Dodge Ram in for a total tune -up today......it has 197K miles on it and still runs great , but I think it is time......the plug wires are acting up when it rains and the humidity is high. I considered a new truck, but after looking at them the sticker shock was too much for my old heart to handle. A "Plain Jane" is around $30K....absurdly unrealistic! Tricky as I am, that would be abuse of Mrs Rupert's debit card to an unforgivable degree.

I have the sneaky suspicion that a set of spark leads are not going to set you back anywhere near $30k. There's probably some life yet in the old Ram. More life than there will be in the old Rupert if he pilfers his wife's debit card!

The sirens' song made me do it! Well, that and a good second-hand deal

And the infection runs deep; the next camera I bought has the stamp of the hociR on the back as well. And GR on the front. And it's a brilliant little camera.

Oops, gear talk.

Sorry

It's been so long since I worked on one of our vehicles I can't remember when it was.
Youngest son is a mechanic, so he gets a call when needed.
I do remember that back in my shade tree mechanic days I never once worked on one without loss of blood.
