this is one of the reasons i drive in front of gunter.

if gunter can drive way in the back, i would be glad to drive behind him, as already mentioned;

I have many faults and do get lost but, I display a high respect for other people on the road, especially cyclists. Remember? We've been over this before.

Peter, I'll take you up on the offer of driving behind me in the back.
And I'll buy you a beer or 2.

I mentioned to you already last year that your engine was smoking badly and had hopes you'd fix the problem out of respect for others and the environment.
Why is that not a reasonable request?

What is the problem? Rings or Valve guides or both?

I know you're good at wrenching and could fix it.
