That is what I call "digging into" your Imperial! I really like the fact that you said "WE". As I understand it, husband and wife (or any other type of couple) automobile maintenance teams are a common occurrence in Europe. That really has not been the case over the years in our country. Automobile maintenance is a major part of the hobby and is very enjoyable if done with patience, and a willingness to learn.
