How I got home this afternoon...

[marc_scirocco at sympatico.ca (marc_scirocco)]

Look carefully, the alternator is being held by two wires hanging from the
neuspeed bar and tied to the valve cover.

Oh and the air intake is on the "wrong" side too, but that is ok.

And the red MKI is very nice too!!!

Cheers.
