What the hell is a lizzie?

Lizzie is the X's name. ;)

Tin Lizzie
 

Some added info on "lizzie"

The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie, T‑Model Ford, 'Model T Ford', or T) is an automobile that was produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908 to May 27, 1927

also known worldwide to identify the treasured BMW X5 driving machine of ProfessorX5.

LOL... never knew about the Ford. Named it Lizzie after the main character of Pride and Prejudice.

Might get the fan clutch this week, since I have to take it off to do the hoses anyway.

Oh brother....I had to go and ask.:rolleyes:

I was going to name it Totoro, but someone on the forum beat me to it.

Well, since this, I've done:

Gas cap
Upper and lower rad hoses, Coolant temp sensor
Belts, tensiors, pulleys
Water pump
02 sensors
OFHG
Taillight re-wire to resolve burnout issue.
Semi-fixed door lock while waiting for new lock to come

She's coming along ;)
