Tappet
ha, makes me think of that radio show ,, Car Talk, with the "tappet brothers", Boston guys I think.
would occasionally hear it on npr here in Montreal, couple of wacky characters that made for fun, often sarcastic humour listening.
seems to me one of them died a bunch of years ago
but wait, we can't admit to being petrolheads here can we? Naw, we can be both. I've always been.
Tom and Ray..from Cambridge, MA ("..our fair city..")
Tommy came down with Alzheimer's and continued to do the show..while both acknowledging that things were slipping away. Great show..listened to them for years. I miss it.
