Accidently ended up spending the day kicking around an oily, dusty auto shop called Auto Shop. They’re my garage, read about them here, and in this episode you can see them for 3 seconds at 1:40. Classy and Class A VW Specialists.

It was supposed to be a 1.5 hour appointment at 11am but when you put off doing any maintenance it takes longer. Mike and I studied the boats and bikes in AutoTrader and agreed a Ducati should always have a ferring and be red. Mike is great on a bike… used to compete in trial bikes, like when you ride your bike over cars and crazy terrain, and he recently rode to the top of Hudson’s Bay.
We kicked around the yard when “what is that music everywhere all of a sudden?”. Then we had lunch. Bottom left is Sikander putting on new shocks, timing belt, and he’s an ex-professional wrestler, roman-greco styles, 2nd in Ontario.
Re: the shocks – he said the rubber disintigrated in his hands from the old ones; factory from 10 years ago. Wasn’t until I drove home around the corners did I realize how bad it was, no more drifting around them. I do regret not getting footage of the bouncyness though, back passengers heads were grazing the roof. As I’m typing that I can see the collage above and wow that’s a bad photo of me… I dedicate it to ‘A Friend’.
Then Andy came over with his 1970 525hp Chevy Nova and we went flying.
LOVE THE NOVA!!!!!!!!!!!
I’d never seen one until this day and I’m with ya, the Nova is SICK.
