We then, not atypically,
gathered at Al's Rustic Country Estate for more camaraderie and some
light wrenching on our beloved '02s. If you listen carefully, you can
hear the banjos playing in the background.
There's a total of 8 2002s
here - can you spot them all? And BTW, Where's Waldo?
The day's planned activities
were adjusting the automatic choke on Michael's '76, changing the engine
and diff oil in Eddy's '71, plus attending to other minor issues as
they were brought up.
The
day became much more "interesting", however. While running
a short errand to the parts store, Eddy suddenly became aware of a new
and ominous vibration in his trusty car of many colours - the very car
that had to ferry him across the continent in less than a month! Investigation
led to a startling discovery - his guibo was gone. It would have
to be replaced before the car could safely be driven!
The failed guibo was
definitely past its expiration date and now had more in common with
feta cheese than rubber. However, like an elephant, it knew where
to go when it was time to expire. Yep, Al's yard!
