Last week I passed by the Ford garage while running in the new engine, this is where my Ford vibes started more than 30 years ago as junior Ford mechanichanic.

Re: Back in time

That's a cool pic, Andre!  And you having worked there explains why you've been so quick to get things sorted.

You started out as a mechanic at a Ford dealer but I started out as a mechanic at a Chevy dealer. I drove my shop foreman nuts because I drove Fords the whole time I worked there.  I loved pulling into the shop at the end of the day in my 1971 F100 with dual glasspacks and the ground beater cam thumping exhaust music off of the walls.
