I also miss our dear old friend. I learned alot of big and little things about our cars.
My favorite story (don't stop me if you've heard this one..) that he told me....He was a much younger man, hadn't had the Blue Max for long, and had stopped in a station for petrol. He was completely distracted by a pretty girl close by, and had somehow knocked the fueling plastic pipe completely loose, and in the process, was filling the trunk up with fuel...Smelled the disaster before he realized it, and fortunately next door was a fire department that came over and helped avert further mayhem, and helped him clean it all up. Said it was probably the most embarrassing moment of his life. The worst part was that "she" got away....
