Yeah Dad's ol' Lotus Europa had Lucas electrical stuff, and something was always on the fritz. And it had that sweet Renault engine!

Since I repaired-ish the Avalanche I kinda have the bug to build another engine for the firebird. I was thinking a 6 litre with a nice thumpy cam, ported 799 or 243 heads. Maybe another Camaro?...I have lots of parts laying around still....

Hard to imagine that bunch of guys who are really into wheeled conveyances of one sort might be really into wheeled conveyances of another.

There was a comedian, years ago, who did a bit on the Plymouth Super Bird he used to have. He was talking about the sound at idle - *lumlumlumlumlumlumlumlum* "Remember when that used to be a HEALTHY sound?"

Finally some good friggin news on the Covid front:
According to the Brits, people who drink between 5 and 14 glasses of wine or liquor ("units") per week were 10-17% less likely to get Covid compared to those who drank more or less.
However, beer and cider actually increase your chances of getting the Cov by as much as 28%.

Pretty excited about that news as I can definitely stay within the sweet spot.

A couple weeks ago I put a cam actuator solenoid in the Trailblazer. Took about 15 or 20 minutes at a casual pace. It was the first time I worked on a car in more than 2 years. It was enough for now.

Remember?....I dream of it! It never fails. Once I have had a go at one of my cars. A repair, anything beyond maintenance. It's go time! I can't leave it alone. But Then again ,after that, I'm always listening, checking, diagnosing etc. It's rare that I have a car to just drive.

I enjoyed working on cars back in the days when you could drop wrench in the engine bay, and it would fall to the ground.
