Pffft, I used to get into arguments with Bob Hoover all the time over VW
engines and maintenance. He'd send me e-mails about points I'd made and
then we'd go back and forth.
See I also grew up in Orange CA and used to get routine lectures from Berg..
I'd go into his shop, when I could afford it, and I'd get the 5 minute "Why
did you do that?" from Gene.
He could tell you things that I wish, honestly people had recorded beyond
his usual stuff.
That seems so long ago.
Self inflicted problems? Been there, done that.
