wild ride.
Its warmed up here from that big storm that blew tru Cali a few days ago(what I mean to say is the storm from california warmed up the place). Most of the snow has melted, 45 degrees, so I thought I would drive the 240 to town. I thought about throwing the chains in the trunk that are hanging on a peg right next to the back of the car. I did think about it. Funny thing about snow that gets driven on, it never melts, turns to ice, ice thats been rained on is the worst. As I was sliding sideways down the driveway I thought of two things, first-not the best day to be driving the 240, second I remembered forgetting the chains. But at least it started really easy. These cars are exceptional in snow, ice and mud. I have all three today. So while in town I stocked up on cat litter, 125lbs., 25 lbs cat food, 5 gallon propane, 2 gallons wine(in case I had to bivouac) and I filled the tank. Lots of weight in the trunk, junk in the trunk. Coming home up the drive way, I put the pedal to the medal, slid sideways tru the s curves, flinging mud and ice at least 100 feet narrowly missing trees. What a car, I made it, to celebrate I'm changing oil and adjusting valves and replacing front brake pads. Back to snow next week, definitely parking for winter. Max

Radiator came today. My main concern is fluid loss from the transmission. How much? What is the best resource for instructions for removal. Tips on how to do it right. Lawrence Rhodes
