SOT: Car love

Which
brings up yet another reason to love these cars - anyone with a Bentley 
and a modest set
of tools can do most of their own work.  They are simple to work on - 
like the engineers
actually put some thought into making the components easy to 
remove/replace (well not
ALL...)

Every mechanic I've ever had work on the car hated it and most of the ones I worked with refused to work on it.  The only ones who did either needed the money or liked VWs.  I have yet to find a mechanic who likes working on them and doesn't already love VWs.
 
And yes, I said mechanics "I worked with"... sounds weird coming from someone who knows squat about cars, but I worked as a register jockey in a service station.  I took people's money for gas.  Never got a chance to do anything on cars.  I can do oil changes, and have even put some hoses on my rocco, but that's about it.  I have the Bently, just need to get tools.
