Last weekend I pulled some shrubs out with the Mon-Tracto-r... I few long hard tugs and then a fast yank and they came out super easy. Monday, I had the kids, driving them to school I needed a little more go-go-go so I hit the OD button to shift down faster and pass the Q-tip infront of me......and I see an O/D OFF light come on. Dam, never saw that before. I must have shook something loose... or into place. It always scares me more when things randomly START working rather than stop. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

Self fixing, I like that !


You need to watch a MG owner start their car. It's like a ritual drum beat. Hit this, pound that, kick something under the dash. Turn around three times, a few hail Mary's and then turn the key.

Think that was bad, the FJ40 had a hand crank. I was never able to turn the motor over that way, even with 3 husky friends helping.

And I had a TR3B that would not start unless you patted the shifter, gently.

Funny, that's what my wife does to get me going, too.

Wonder where she learned that... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

He had many XK's, but he always used to tell me he'd never have an Aston Martin (probably while I was drooling over a picture of one as a kid <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> ). He said he had a neighbor with a brand new Aston. Same thing with the ritual every morning and it still didn't start half the time <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I'd still take one though <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
