John, long time no posting from you. Hope all is well - have you driven the Avanti lately?

Sounds like you're a busy bee John 😄. Good to hear you are contributing to the preservation of nature - we really need those bees!

Merry Christmas John. I enjoy watching all your car, van, tractor, lama, etc. etc. work, but I swear I don't know where you get the time or energy for it all 😓.

Nice job John! She's good for another 150k now.

John, how many miles on the Passat now?

That Austin Healey 3000 is a nice color. Would like to see that color on my Avanti.

John? Long time no hear from....how's it going?

That Porsche 944 Turbo would be a nice car to own. The green one tucked away in the corner, I can't tell if the orange one outside is a 944.

Darn, we have a previous engagement that day. But I'll be out and about with "Mightyfast" this summer. She always loves a run in the country!

Cool cars in your neighborhood John. I like that '37 Cadillac a lot!

Interesting John. What produces torque like that? Large displacement with long stroke?

Happy Birthday John! Take the day off from that tractor and relax!

Makes me want to take up hard liquor when I see all that work. I believe I would trade it in on a new tractor

I see. Back in the good old days you could get an American rebuilt starter for what, 50 bucks? I remember my father rebuilding his Studebaker starter on the dining room table (on newspapers of course), cleaning up the armature and installing the little brushes (which probably cost $1.69 at Pep Boys). But then you had all the fun of disassembly and reassembly.

John, regarding all the trouble getting a starter to fit - couldn't you get one at your local GM dealer?
