Re: [T3] Power Bleeders

Yep - I was one of those type of kids, and it seems to have stuck, since somehow, after years of only partially playing with cars, I thought that getting a Type 3 was a good idea! It's a ways away from helping bleed brakes, and learning tool names by "no, not that wrench, the other one!", but very cool. So to all the dads enlisting their short (and cheap!) labor force - thanks, and keep it up! My dad is certainly impressed with how much I picked up!
