I can't drive mine because my wife is out of town and I have nobody to watch the children. Maybe I'll set a big fan in front of it and pretend. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Just as well,
Tonight after the kids are in bed I'm going to change the engine/tranny/and diff oil.
My diff whine is getting loud again, so it is time for some fresh Lucas Gear Oil.

Ahhh.. Nice day.
My nine year old son & I drove off together to get a few things at the store. Not too turned on by the first store's selection I said - "hey lets drive over to the other store".
With a positive look from him we went ahead and got back in the car. I always get at least one positive remark from the public whenever we are out, today was no exception.
People in their SUV's with their $600 - $750 / month payments looking with a wistful eye as we go driving by or pulling up.
Someone always has something nice to say.
My son really liked the drive, and the positive attention from the public.
A good day!

I pull up on the right hand side of some Suburban or Excursion or whatever, and look horizontally across, and minutely examine the alloy wheels and disk brakes, I can almost reach out and check his tyre pressures if needed. I like to see the owner crane his neck up to look down and see what it is next to him.
I guess I shouldn't crow because I own an Expedition too.
Another cool thing is, I have realized I am double-declutching instinctively, just like I always used to, even though it is nearly 10 years since I owned a car with a manual gearbox, and nearly 30 years since I owned one that needed double declutching.
ncbugeye has a rather "aggressive" exhaust note so people can hear me coming from quite some distance away.
