Wheff...... these are the ones I have so far discovered, who knows what still unseen???????????????
The most magical part of this car is that the engine bay is perfectly clean, no oil anywhere.....BUT the motor is covered in OLD oil, blow out oil from the breather, and oil dripping from all joints, YET there is NON on the engine compartment as can be seen from the photos here under????????????????????????/

As the motor is not the same as the Papers, now it becomes a mission to get this thing onto my name, ... what joy.....
Its a good thing that I am not a suspicious person, who knows what I would have thought................
Well.... till later
