I have had My engine cover vents covered over during the winter months
and i had been to the next town and return and when I parked My car
in the carport, [as i haven't been able to work out how to put the spring back]
and I stick a screwdriver in the hole near the hinge to hold the engine lid up
and let the heat disapate..

Later On I was up near the carport so I took the screwdriver out and closed the lid..
and... the handle of the good quality gray handled screwdriver was shaped like a banana

now as the engine cover was open fully.. I wouldn't have thought there was enough heat
to do this to the screwdriver...  I've used heaps of cheaper screwdrivers
and none of them ever bent...  [I usually use more then one]

so, I left the screwdriver on a toolbox near My beetle...

Next day, I happened to pick the screwdriver up...
and.... the bend in the handle had disappeared ...

back like a new one....

it must have been one of those new memory screwdrivers... ;D ;D ;D

but it didn't have printed on it how much memory...2GB--4GB...LOL..
