Tuxedo Park lost and found

Those of you tuning this past weekend, I have lost an item and found a few.

LOST:

3/8" Craftsman teardrop ratchet wrench and spark plug socket - please drop it by or drop it in the mail if you accidentally took this. If it doesn't turn up shortly I will reluctantly put an end to the loaning of tools during dyno sessions.

FOUND:

Floor jack
Two green plastic chairs
Black coat

If any of these items are yours let me know when you want to come get them.

Thanks!
Steven

Steve, while we were trying to get the last car to start. We lost a plug socket/ratchet. Do you remember Michael asking you for another ?

that first one that i was using was zinx's (512whp). he said it was his, and i borrowed it when they had there car on the lift. after they left, i used the one that burkett got out, with the socket extension on it. it should have been laying right there on the floor with the other wrenches.


oh yeah, finally got the car down here to springfield so i can try and work on it after my classes. tomorrow we'll be draining the tank and putting 2-3 new gallons in. i swear if she decides to be a bitch again, i might burn her to the ground and collect insurance.

That sucks. The socket we used was Zinx thin walled socket for the egv plugs.

Manveru - was that the 1/2" drive socket with the adapter? I think it was, and that I loaned you that setup because the other one was already missing. The missing socket is a "home made" thin wall socket, ground down on a grinder, if that helps identify it.

I really don't think that anyone took it on purpose, it's just that I can't afford to have tools walking off even on accident. So if anyone remembers borrowing it and can double check their toolbox that would be great!

No takers on the "found" items????

Sounds exactually like the one we have. I will check with Jon and make sure we didn't snag it thinking it was ours.

The black jacket is mine. I left it hanging on the coat rack before we left for the night.
