It was late at night, and I was 30 miles away from home when my Lady X's tranny started making loud and scary noises. No warning. just kerklunk, kerklunk, whirrrrrr, kerklunk. She limped home, though, and was not going to leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere! I was planning on having the transmission rebuilt anyways, but I guess Lady decided she want to it fixed sooner rather than later! *L* It is as if she was saying, " You bought me to restore me, so what are you waiting for??" and proceeded to take the restoration job into her own hands, as it were. Now, she is clever, because she knows that I can't go for very long without driving her and knows that the sooner i get her done up, she will be able so show me what she can really do! I will do most anything for her, even taking a hammer to my piggy bank to help pay for a rebuilt tranny....anything for love! and I love my gremlin !....and I know she loves me! :-)))))) Freddie '74 Gremlin X/304/automatic [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
