    I'm not cringing Jim. I'm very happy for your little engine. :Thumbsup:

    Going to warsh mine today, but the oil only has 300 miles on it so I'll hold off on the change for a day or two. :smilewinkgrin:

    Thanks Crash. I have a very happy little engine. :Thumbsup:

    Are you sure about not changing your oil? 300 miles seems like a lot for you. :lol::lol:

    The oil has yet to pick up enough engine flavor to fry the donuts.

    I hadn't thought about that Jim. The longer "spring" will let you get your stuff done and then you can go help MM. This could work out for both of you. :Thumbsup:

    And that is a good thing my friend. My horse is running up a nice vet bill right now. :D

    MM, make sure that walker has under panels for less drag, old man. :Thumbsup:

    I felt my clutch slip while climbing a hill in 4th gear the other day, so today, I went to visit my stock broker to cash in some of my investments to pay for a new clutch, front bushings, and possibly JCW exhaust. I am unemployed right now and was hoping I wouldn't need to do this work until I started a new job, but the slipping clutch told me it was time.
