Just happy (and a bit OT)

Well, for once life went my way, more or less. No Rocco content, but close 
enough?

The FORD (a four letter word) is charging well with its new alternator, and 
passed E test today with flying colours. This was NOT a given. Evidence 
suggests it has gone 2500 kms since two years ago when it  E-tested last. 
Too bad there's an E test, I really could have done some polluting with all 
that driving LOL.  Now I can't even kill myself properly, another 0ppm CO at 
idle vehicle for me.

The Cabby went for the "is it really tweaked underneath" check today, 
(recall it had dangerous liasons with Mrs Pontiac 6000) and nothing is 
visibly bent. This weekend's proposed alignment will tell the whole story no 
doubt, but it's sleeping with the other A1s in the Wind Tunnel, and looks 
good. Nice to finally have it home. I put the world's shittiest rubber on 
the front so as not to kill off the pretty Falkens (the "spare"set from my 
parts Rocco, you can imagine how nice that rubber is) , gave her a bath ( 
this one is without a doubt female) and did a headlamp lens replacement. 
There needs to be a special hell for headlight designers, and the guy who 
designed the NewBeetle's will no doubt have eternity to befriend the idiot 
who came up with the attachment method for the Cabby inners. Maybe they need 
to go on "the island" with "brown".

The Cabby's current registration is a mess, Ontario temp plates, but the 
car's not in our system. It's still registered in Ohio. I should have fun 
with that at the border on Friday. Hopefully it's legal.

Anyway, it's suposed to be nice tomorrow, maybe I'll have tales of melted 
parts from the 16V. Or not. But for me, today was a pretty good day.
