it's no contest- having made my living in college (after a fashion) by
fixing cars part time before i went to medical school (as one of my
mechanic friends said, "great, only two models to work on, but parts..."),
even changing spark plugs on some american v-8s must beat most things on a
triumph, the rear most plugs sometimes tempted one to use the cutting torch
to make a hole in the wheel well, and it only gets worse for anything
beyond points and plugs- i look into a spit or tr4 engine compartment and i
doubt there can be anything that tough, but if i get my perfect tr4, i
guess i'll get to see for myself
