the article is straightforward enough, but I am posting it because of the paragraph about removing the Master Cylinder, and especially about language:
I looked it up on the Europa forum, and found several posts with titles like “How do I get that %#&*! master cylinder top nut off?” After discussions of “Well, you can move the steering rack, but those bolts are probably frozen too,” one of the posts discussed the lubricating effects of curse words. This led to a spirited discussion of the general subject of swearing while working on British cars.
One fellow asked, “If it’s not too much trouble, please post a complete list of cuss words required for Europa maintenance and restoration.”
Another said, “You realize this job is not be undertaken within half a mile of any public schools, hospitals, or churches.”
The original poster replied, “The list of cuss words is very easy. I had them all from my XKE days. It seems any combination of words will work as long as M.F. is used also. But I am still up a m)^&$% f*(^&*% creek without a f&*^%&* paddle with this master cylinder.”
But my favorite was “My father told me a proper Englishman can curse for an hour and never repeat himself. I keep trying.”
I love it when you read a forum and find “your people.”
