Very funny Tim. For those unaware, back when I was restoring Something Special, Starting day for the engine proved to be fulfilling, but also frustrating. Tim and I spent almost an hour trying to start the car, but for some reason, it just wouldn't fire. Finally, we just stood back to have a cigarette and Tim spotted the ignition rotor on the inner fender lip. Doh, put it on and the engine fired the first crank. LOL

Never thought I would see that one again. I need a copy of that please. I am glad I still look like that, well, under all my fat that is. LOL. I weighed 185# at that time. 19 years old. I still remember that trip like it was yesterday. Thanks Tim.
