So many questions about this photo.....
That's a really unusual way to use a mid rise lift, is it just to get more working room? What is the floor jack sitting on? What is the ground like, and is it stable under those loads? What's holding up a tent of that size? How do you get the cars up on the rack and is it rated for those loads?

I changed my oil and filter today and I forgot how trickey it is to remove the cannister from the bottom without spilling oil, which I did, of course -- spill the oil, not remove the canister successfully!. And the new oil container I bought at the auto parts store didn't exactly allow my warm exiting oil to flow entirely into the container, versus about 3 quarts on my garage floor! So a 30 minute procedure took about 2 hours with clean up and my COO wasn't happy. I also swaped a locking cap for the expansion tank on the radiator as I suspect it's been leaking for a years. Hopefully, this will solve the mysterious vanishing fluid and slightly higher temps I've been running for about a year -- 3:30 versus 4 or 4:30 on the gauge maybe due to not having full pressure in the system.
The test drive after was great but I started thinking my Coupe King exhaust is too loud and not mellow enough..I wonder if I should start thinking about a non-stainless can in the rear to mellow things out...

If I were a gazillionaire I would move Barney's shop across the street from Carl Nelson's in La Jolla, work on my cars and surf. I have a feeling Ed's car is going to be one of the finest 2000 CS's, these guys don't fool around and there's decades of knowledge concentrated in a very nice part of Austin - you guys certainly don't need me, I learned a bunch just hangin' around.
Does this count as e9 maintenance??
....oh boy. No pressure!! :eek:
We are trying hard to get things right; with all the outstanding help, it should be quite nice when it's done.

Wayne, how about leave well enough alone- look what happened when you changed your oil!
Yes, preventative maintenance.
You sure look pretty tanned for a guy from Sweden in the winter...

Took the family to the park
Put Athena away for the winter.
Ignored the rust, hacked various BMW parts together to make lights fit that shouldn't fit.
Made lights that actually should fit a bit shinier.

Because of our travel, my health issue (and associated constraints), Lorelei had not been driven since late April. Yesterday was a beautiful day, so she and I headed out for a nice excursion through the southeast PA countryside. Only about 40 miles, but we both enjoyed it. May not get many more chances to do that in 2017
