#5 My senior year of college, the local vocational division of an area HS offered classes in auto repair to locals. I jumped at that chance. I learned enough in a few lessons to save myself thousands of dollars over the years. A couple of years after that my '64 Valiant's throttle suddenly locked in the wide open position, and I was able to fix it in a few minutes parked on the road's shoulder.

#9 Besoeker, after Katrina I got to where I would plug-patch a tire (once two at a time) without ever taking it off the car. Nails were everywhere.

Could you please provide me with the Address & Telephone number for your featured automobile mechanic of the day, my 2010 Bentley GTC Series 51 needs its tires rotated, and this Lady seems to have the requisite skills...

Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter, Jeck

#15 

1 of 61 Bentley GTC Series 51 ever built in 2010
4 Bentley GTC Series 51 Speeds were built and retained by Bentley, which were 'let loose' on a frozen lake in Scandinavia, where it set the World Speed Record of an automobile on Ice of over 207 Miles Per Hour.

Of the 61 produced, 15 S-51s were sold in the UK, 12 in the US and the rest, are in several of the 190 other countries of the world.
