    1974 BMW CSE

    Amazing project but when I read this I feel like an under-achieving nitwit?

    Stan’s repro tail light lenses reassembly in their frames

    Yes, all good. Thanks Stan. Man, these lenses have had a longer run than Peyton Place!

    It's time to face the facts....

    Before you throw in the BMW towel there's the new 2023 M2, one of the very few cars you can still order in manual trans' form. Early reports are that it's the real deal aimed at core enthusiasts. My last 'real' BMW was a ( manual only ) 2011 1 series M. I had a lot of respect for BMW for...

    Impulse sensor

    Ahhh, one of those. Nup, don't have it. Thanks for the pic though.

    Impulse sensor

    Can you show me a picture of this thing? I don't know what it is to identify in my parts but may know it by sighting a pic. If I have it, it'll be one of those things in the 'doohickie' section of the parts department.

    They have made a new 3.0CSL

    One is "an iconic sports car", the other is destined to be an iconic display piece. Not built for the public, built to compete in the inter-brand swinging d**k contest.

    Rear window adjustment

    I need a drink, that really strong Talisker that kicks you in the guts and momentarily helps you to forget your nightmares.

    The wonderful age of the disclaimer.

    My wife has just taken delivery of a Genesis GV60. Since she has never read a manual in her life that duty always falls to me be it a car or a toaster. The GV60 comes with a 536 page manual, quite a tome. Just browsing and I came across a few interesting items in the 163 page "Driver assistance...

    the tesla dumb

    Well, we will have feet in both camps when my wife's Genesis GV60 arrives next week. I still have my W204 AMG 507. Having driven the Genesis several times I can say, as a lifelong driver and rider of performance vehicles, that I am seriously impressed with that car for its intended use, i.e., as...

    the tesla dumb

    "I will say it is significantly more dangerous to get into a high voltage battery pack than an ICE" Does this mean I can't use a screwdriver to test for spark anymore?

    Besides my wife, is there anything more beautiful?

    1957 Maserati 250F. Fangio, Moss, et al say it was one of the most beautiful to look at and the best to drive. I have one.

    Re-installing the AC evaporator

    The wedge idea is a good'n. That's the type of idea that gives me the most satisfaction, that feeling of "I beat you you bas##rd".

    Rear window adjustment

    Man is this opening old wounds! I did so much on my car. A lot of it is rewarding, much of it is straight forward, some of it is difficult, some of it is infuriating, and then there's the windows. Getting them to align was by far the most vocabulary inducing job. The blue books are a wonderful...

    the tesla dumb

    Interested to follow your experience. If it's like my power tools that last vestige of chargeability just hangs in there.

    We won't see her like again. A bulwark.

    the tesla dumb

    If it as feasible as that I suggest there may be aftermarket downrev software suppliers, kind of like the old program data transference specialists who convert floppy disc data to USB stick. Or maybe it doesn't work that way, I dunno. Do batteries degrade without use? If you only do say 5000...

    there is NO hope ?

    A good park ranger will extinguish little spot fires before they get out of control. I just hope they don't have a burn off to eliminate excess litter like me.

    the tesla dumb

    I agree that for some it may work, I just couldn't go with it for the reasons stated. I shouldn't have been proselytizing. Re the Genesis being a great choice - well let's see. It is an emergent brand so there is a gamble that it won't become another Nissan Infinity mess though with the backing...

    Yes it was. There was.......tension.
