Nothing prepared me for the experience. It all kicked off when I went to get petrol, two people wander over and start asking about it. Just about everyone you pass on the road was checking it out; I was terrified someone would bump into me while not paying attention to their driving.

How the hell do you long-time owners cope!!
The first week I had my car, some jackass pulled out across the road right in front of me....I had to slam on the 30 year old brakes (which were not working that well!) and ended up on the gravel shoulder! I decided to ALWAYS drive with the headlights on after that one!

As for what I did today....I removed the large gear from the lambda counter and cleaned out about two pounds of grease! Hopefully this helps my bouncing speedo issue
