Many years ago, in simpler times, good keen kiwi blokes liked to potter about under the hood of their cars. Cars were different back then, and Robin used to check and adjust the timing, clean the spark plugs, do his own oil changes, and goodness knows what else. Cars were cars, and with a bit of knowledge and lots of enthusiasm, young working men could save a lot of money by attending to these chores.
Over the years Robin had been dipping into his red tool box which was originally put together by a motor mechanic before being passed on to him. Inside this treasure trove were the various nuts, bolts, screws and bits of pieces, all in the old Imperial sizing. He also had a timing light and a dwell meter, used often in the old days, but engines on modern cars are electronically controlled these days. What to do with all these old bits and pieces?

Our friendly motor mechanic John specialises in servicing older cars and was delighted to receive Robin’s big red tool box and the tuning tools. Yes, he can definitely use them, John assured him. And Robin was delighted to find a deserving home for his treasures, where they will be used and appreciated. Alls well that ends well.
