Different bent on this, my buddy sold his business many years ago and as a reward to himself bought a red Jaquar V12 convertible. He didn't make it a block down the road when it stopped. It seems the dealer prep omitted putting any oil in the engine. Oopps!



Well then Paul, your buddy should have just looked at his misfortune in a different sort'a light, in that case!

And 'cause if it hadn't been for his Jag E-Type's lack of oil killing the engine of his new car, it would have been a good bet it would've eventually overheated ANYWAY, and thus he STILL would've ended up having engine failure! And, this of course would've been the case even WITH the proper amount of coolant running through it!

(...you DO know those Jags were notorious for this sort'a thing, doncha?!)

The way I've always heard about Jaguars is that you buy the car and marry the mechanic.




My old Swedish friend always said about Citroen you need two one to drive while the other is in the shop being fixed.



....and as for Fiat?
Apparently the initials stand for ' Fix It Again Tomorrow."



Hmmmmm...having owned 3 Fiats in the past, which somewhat ironically I don't remember ever having all that much trouble with either the '69 124 Sport Coupe, the '74 X1/9 nor the '77 124 Spider I owned, I was always told back then that the acronym for that Italian car maker's wares stood for, "Fix It Again Tony"!

(...but yeah, I suppose the general implication would've been pretty much the same)

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
