mrzippy Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Lookin' good, Jan! ;) You are probably too young and doubt that it happened where you grew up, but in the U.S. as you pulled into the gas/petrol station, Texaco, Standard Oil (Chevron), Richfield, you would roll over a rubber cord that rang a bell inside. All of a sudden 2 or 3 attendants would rush out, ask how many gallons you wanted, pumped the gas, cleaned the windows, and checked the air pressure in your tires! Probably raised the hood and checked the oil level! All of this for 33 9/10 cents a gallon! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

I do remember things like that from when I was a kid, even here in Europe, although it would usually be only one guy Slapping paint on flightsim models you'll find all my FSX/P3D repaints here and all my MSFS repaints here.
