All you say is quite true, Wayne. On the other hand, don't forget my
champagne OM4T which went swimming in the ocean, got a fresh water rinse and
warm diesel engine drying, was sent for a CLA but returned as 'Beyond
Economic Repair', but is still going strong.
I'll have to admit that I no longer trust it with important work, but it
must keep going just to spite me.
