Default Why is it that.......

Why is it that working on a bloody Cosworth gives a strange feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment

I was glad to see the back of mine when I broke it etc etc, but yesterday I did the cambelt, tensioners, new cam pulleys and a few other little bits for my best mate on his Cossie and I enjoyed doing it - Even tho the crank pully bolt took 45 mins to free off with lots of heat, wd40 and 2 different impact guns


Someone spank me now before I buy another shitty ford

That is true, I did the head gasket on the car just before my mate bought it aswell so I know the work has been done to a high standard aswell

its a bug, tinkering with cars is just as enjoyable as driving them, even though i've had to take the head off mine last week.

Still enjoy tinkering even though its a bitch!

tinkering with cars enjoyable? Why did I hate doing the head gasket twice in the space of 4 months on my brothers car?

It failed the second time because the tight cunt hadn't bought new head bolts, and fiats use stretchy ones
