@hazardwarning That’s one of a few reasons why I got the Jazz. It has an old style engine that’s not enclosed. It’s a tight compartment though so I don’t do much apart from top up the fluids and change the air filter now and then. Headlight bulb changes are a particular nightmare on this car. Sounds like you have one of the non-shifty garages. I’ve been pretty lucky with mechanics as well.
I haven't seen one in person but I think the American Buffalo gold coins look the nicest of the bullion coins. The Indian head design is nice. Krugerrands have a disappointing base metal look to them.
I’m getting sick of online sign ups and transactions getting aborted or paused for verification issues. I’ve been thwarted several times because I don’t possess a currently valid passport. Oh, pardon me for just staying in my own country.
