About a month back a friend's kid called and said his new used 124 spider was making a strange sound from the engine, and might I come by and have a look. I told him to leave it sit till I arrived and NOT to start the car. The kid was so excited about the new auto that, right as I was getting out of my truck, he fires it up gives it the gas for effect and lunches the motor. Timing belt! Love that interference fit. Where's Tony? We all know where he is, and why his hair is so lustrous. I'm with you Doc.
