A number of years ago, before my new spouse made me promise to get rid of one
of
my LBCs if he bought me a horse trailer, I took my RHD Morris Minor to a local
quick lube place for service. You would not believe the amount of arguing I had
to do to convince them that I really did want 20-50 Castrol put in the
transmission. I actually had to sign a waiver absolving them of liability
should
they do so. At this point, I would have gone elsewhere, but it is difficult to
drive any distance with no fluids of any kind in the car. Then, to add insult
to
injury, they asked "What is it, anyway --- some kind of Fiat?" Happy
motoring,
Kate
