there was somebody came over to see my vette.As he admired the car and whe where talking about ,i told him that i only had one big problem with it. He asked and i : yes, the problem is the radio. I can only recieve US stations....he was away with it and confused...

Have seen him later and his 'penny was fallen' : he was a bit  

shame on me ?

That was pretty funny!!

ok, now one on myself....

after changing oil with 5 liters synthetic oil + filter i noticed that there was a bit to much above the full marking.So , with my new car lift ! , i tought no problem to drain a bit .So i grabbed a filty bucket from paintwork .After draining a liter i wanted to replace the plug but no way , she didn't wanted to go in the thread.There i was , alone , and no equipment reacheble under the car....  sh*t.

so let drain all the new oil  in the filty bucket....

Problem was that there is a rather thick "plastic" spacer on that bolt witch only came loose of the sump at the end of the thread and was firm on it. So i was pushing that spacer against the sump and he was turning with the plug  instead of making room for the thread.... 

I bought 4 new liters....

Now you may laugh with me but not toooo long !

 

 

 

 

                 OK, that is not too long

Barry,
At least you got to use your new lift.

Wouldn't want to be without one. I have the worst time trying to change the spark plugs without it.And it's great for accessing the fuse panel.

I  once had an old Philco radio from the 30's that only received AM stations. i told a friend it worked well but only received old music stations from the 30's. He said really???? I had to confess after laughing enough.

 even better than mine Bob ! but worse for your friend.....
