As I walked out of a local restaurant and headed for Diesela I spotted a red left front corner about twenty yards away in another parking lot. Got to a point where I could ID the car, an Alfa Spider, '73. Trotted up to the car as the driver was leaving and he stopped, we chatted, he wanted to know if I knew anyone who worked on them... his valves were obviously well out of adjustment and he couldn't engage reverse without "trimming" the cogs. Made the hair on my nape stand up.

I gave him my card and told him I have the shims and hydraulic kits to fix things. We'll see.
 
Good job!
