    Drew Gregg cover and centerfold!

    Got mine as well. Was also delighted to see the coverage of Don Dethlefsen, since he's the "father" of my restoration.

    What determines a vehicle being a TOURING model.

    As the owner of a 330ix wagon touring, I can confirm that's BMW's go-to language. Audi opts for "avant," IIRC.

    Car lift for a home garage use.

    It's really a non-issue; Atlas even notes that it's optional. I did put some rubber exercise-floor material underneath each post foot since I did notice the lift "walking" a small amount after a few ups and downs. My pebbled epoxied floor is the main issue for that. A concrete or even smooth...

    Car lift for a home garage use.

    The other thing to watch with four-posters is leveling the corners. At least with Atlas, if the posts are not REALLY close to level (meaning the two at the door end adjusted UP for the pitch of your garage floor), it's possible for the locking extensions to, um, misinterpret their resting points...

    Car lift for a home garage use.

    This happened to me once or twice as well. The cables will jump off a pulley and bind with the next cable over. I forget how I finagled it, but I did get the cable back on the pulley. The mfr does request full slack in the cables (and retraction of the hydraulic piston rod) when the safety...

    Car lift for a home garage use.

    If this is useful info to anyone, here's my lift details. I have an Atlas four-post with extended height. (XH-PRO8000EXT) I've had the hydraulics replaced under warranty (leaking cylinder) but other than that, it's been a champ. I opted for the four-post because my garage floor has radiant heat...

    I thought the same. We'll see if Portland works better for me in a few weeks. Stay tuned.

    Anyone have or familiar with mini split HVAC systems?

    I have a Daikin mini-split also, handling ~400sq ft office above my detached garage. It's been a godsend in Chicago winters and summers, and was the only option we had for the build. (Radiant heat in the garage floor below has helped in the winter, too.) A few comments to add: It's three years...

    Wisconsin Vintage Attendees?

    West Suburbs, but I'm pretty mobile. I usually run into Luis at Fuelfed events, so I'm sure he could also get it to Milwaukee. But I could also get it to Madison, which would make Sparta only two hours away. Of course, this all depends on someone getting it to Chicagoland.
