I was at Kragen this week and the kid behind the counter saw my
Spridgets at autox tee-shirt. He looked out to the parking lot and asked about
the A35. He then offered that his brother-in-law was also into old English
cars. "Really" sez I, "Yeah", sez he. "He's been fixing up old Beemers for
years".
Beemers as in BMWs, I ask? "Yeah, he only likes the ones from British Motor
Works". After a long pause, I gently pointed out that Bavaria was just a tad
closer to Germany than England. "Whoooaaa, dude! Really??"
I couldn't think of another word at that point and headed home offering a
silent prayer for desperate DIYs seeking car knowledge from this local "guru
of grease".
