My dad never took the 71 Monte Carlo away but made me drive it 2 weeks with no drive just 1&2 gear after I destroyed the transmission burning rubber ! And yes I always paid for my own cars and repairs ! For 2 weeks could not go over 50 mph that was hell for an 18yr old !

When you play, (usually) you have to pay in some way !

It was pretty cheap back in the day a good used turbo 350 trans could be had for $50 and a couple hours on the rack at my pops station and bribe a friend with a trip to skyway drive in when we were done easy peasy ! I also kept a spare drive shafts and ujoints for just such an occasion ! I was young and dumb but sure had fun !!

Well then, ernieb, it would appear: "Chance favors the prepared Mind", at least in this case !
And a most convenient and available auto service shop facility !
 
Almost finished with the Land Rover. Had to put it aside because I couldn't find the radiator. Looked high and low didn't find it so decided I'll just wait and see if it turns up. Started the Mitsubishi Raiden and was looking through my wooden skewers for the proper size point for the prop I was getting ready to paint. Lo and behold there's the Land Rovers radiator taped to a skewer. Stuck it upside down in the can and couldn't see it. Put lights in for the headlights and trying to decide to go with a battery or 12 volt wall wart and just add a socket to the Rover. Thinking the wall wart might be the way to go.

Here's the Land Rover and the Raiden.
