I don't know about you guys, but I use spare $50 bills to wipe the oil off the dipstick when I check it. 100's if I don't have a 50 handy.

Use 1¢ paper towel... waste 1¢.

Use $50 bill... still worth $50.

A paper towel is a little too rough and too thick but also doesn't have the structure to pull through cleanly. You need something thin and smooth. Personally I use a very thin piece of Mylar sheeting for things like that as it's virtually indestructible as I ran out of $50s and $100s long ago.

October the clipper will be at home and the caribbean will be in storage. I swapped in an NOS gas gauge that has the right color. Amazing how these part stashes have survived over the years.

Clipper is home this month and chugging along. She just turned 10,000 kilometers since the big restoration! Drive them babies!

This past hot sunday was the Bosch Boxberg Classic. A rally I was working at one of the check points. Some fun, some impressive cars at the rally and show. Clipper cruised up on the Autobahn at a nice 120kmh no problem at about 2400rpm. On the way home I got stuck in 1/2 hour of hot traffic. My temperature was critical, but the car was fine.
