The Monday before last my starter gave up the ghost 6 miles from home. Tried to push start it, but no luck. Flat bedded 1/4 mile to Redmond European in Redmond here it joined 4 other teeners. Was good to go with a high torque light weight version the next morning.

The good news is that the week before I was 250 miles away in Oregon for 3 days and it never missed a beat.
