CGT wouldn't move...

[veetesse]

Nope... not that time.  My father did something along those lines when he
was helping me one time.  Recruited as the "legman" for bleeding the brakes
on the rabbit, he had me bleeding brakes (with little results) before I
discovered that he was pushing the clutch not the brake pedal.  The scary
part was that there wasn't any beer involved.
