Oil change



And to think I had to slog over in my 75 horse powered machine to get the oil changed.. there are more fun things in life ( i am told), but it has to be done.
6 and a half liters of fresh petroleum distillates, in the engine, yummy.

Luckily it's getting sunnier, so the wait was nice.

Now, a Shelby Cobra is a different kettle of fish, this was the fastest 0-100-0 MPH machine out there for decades. The original creatures are worth upwards of 600,000 euros, and this was a legit piece. To think these guys actually use them on road rallies for what they were intended is nice. No keeping it in an air conditioned garage for someone else.
It is a bit like life. You can keep stuff to yourself, protect what you have, or enjoy everything at all times.
No, maybe not at all times, but the idea is quite simple yet hard to grasp many times.

I have had conversations regarding arriving in Italy and feeling at home though I don't really speak the language.
there is something is the seizing of the day, in the fresh muzzarella, and old tanned guys going down to the beach on their vespas surrounded by the most fantastic buildings on earth, that makes you say, hmmm, this is the life for me.

No need for translation really.
