Something strange is a foot at the Circle K

Well Here it is. This USED to be my engine fan. However, a little while ago it's good friend Mr. Fan Clutch went out and just a couple of days ago it tossed Mr. Fan into the Shroud. As you can see from the picture, not a single blade survived the Shroud's wrath at it's untimely intrusion.

I was lucky that none of the flying bits decided to make a home for themselves on the other side of the radiator, otherwise I'd be forced to replace that as well.

Now my BMW guy (the great Mark Bander) tells me I need to replace my engine and transmission mounts in order to get everything back in alignment. He says that the Transmission mounts going bad is part of the reason this happened. Since he's never steered me wrong before I am going to believe him. He'll have the mounts in tomorrow, and I will pick them up whenever I have the money and time. I really appreciate help from guys like Mark. Since I am not independently wealthy (thus why I am driving a 1985 BMW) it is great to have someone who give you advice on how to do some of the repairs, and when to do other things to avoid future repairs!
