Cleopatra Jones Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 This morning Stanley got an oil change. And while we were there we spotted these. I love my mechanic's shop. It's always like a car museum. 2 Quote Link to comment

125 CSL Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Was running rough thought I got some bad fuel, so went and put in a few gallons of 96. Did not help. Ended up dropping the tank draining it and changing the fuel filter. Now just to figure out what to do with this brown looking gas. Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Today we went to the grocery store. I parked on the roof, way in the back, so nothing would hurt him or run into him. People here are too lazy to park in the back. 4 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Last night and this afternoon to WallMart to get what I couldn't. Took the long way home, turned it up and watched the rear view mirror shake. Oh yeah. Two years ago maybe three I swapped an '02 100a Altima alternator into my 710. Had to convert it from external voltage regulator. Just before Canby this year I installed a volt meter and on the trip down I noticed the alt not charging part way down. A few hours and starts later it was fine, then it wasn't gain. Anyway for the whole trip it was not working 4 out of 5 starts but always eventually charged and as you can drive all day on a charged battery I kept Going. HRH (what a guy) lent me a spare alternator just in case but never needed it and drove the 2-3 thousand miles and home. I have noticed that at home it shows charging more than not charging when starting it up and the only difference is the car sits all week and I run it maybe once on the week end. So the alternator has trouble starting to charge if the car has been charging for hours and I shut it off for gas. But if it sits all week maybe the battery is low and it charges right away. Well I was reading up on internal alternator conversions and went out and checked.... There is no charge light with the key on. How the hell have I not seen this in three years??? Is it because it always charges eventually and there has never been a bad start? Yes I miss wired the two wires to the plug on the alternator. The sense wire for the charge lamp was on the field position.... so no lamp but when needed it did manage to charge. Swap the two wires and charge lamp lights up and 3 out of 3 (so far) starts it charges!!!! Quote Link to comment

Cleopatra Jones Posted September 6, 2015 Report Share Posted September 6, 2015 It's that time of year again so I had to take Stanley in to be smogged. He passed of course. Good for another 2 years. California can still suck it! 5 Quote Link to comment

Cleopatra Jones Posted November 22, 2015 Report Share Posted November 22, 2015 Stanley's leaving San Berna-ghetto for the last time and will be permanently in LA as is my mom. The day when I never have to go back to San Bernardino is approaching. Finally. And it is good :) Quote Link to comment
Cleopatra Jones Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Today we took a joyride down Sunset Blvd. Love watching fools come speeding up from behind, moving around me only to slam on brakes when they see the cop I was driving behind. Dumb asses. Here's a couple of action shots. It was a beautiful day out there. 3 Quote Link to comment
