I'd be too tempted to use my spoon in the garage. gently caress 14mm wrenches and their ability to hide.

This is me but with 10mm. Also, that limo is incredible.

Finding my 10mm was easy when I owned a bug, that was basically the only size they used on the whole car so it was the only wrench in my set that had grime on it.

DARKEST SKETCH
The "back room" of the shop I work at:



The red coupe in the foreground is a 1948 Chevy Fleetliner, on the lift is a 1951 Ford Victoria, in the background is a 1956 Chrysler Imperial, and under the cover is my boss' 1966 Pontiac GTO. Aside from the GTO, these are customer cars that we're either waiting for parts and/or authorization for repairs.

Saw a couple of neat cars today.

First we have this pristine Morris Morgan. The owner claims to have tracked down the original owner and verified 50k original miles.



In the driveway, we have.. something French. They said it was a 2 cylinder air cooled FWD of some sort. Interior looked mint, didn't look under the hood as I was somewhat in a hurry (was on a delivery).

Thanks. I knew it was some oddball I'd never heard of.

Owners seemed pretty cool, they were sitting in the garage drinking beer when I walked up. Just wish I had more time to ask about the French car.

Am I reading the article wrong, or do they start talking about the high school shop teacher who owns it, then immediately switch to some other guy who actually built it? Kind of lame that an auto shop teacher is driving a car he didn't build.
