    Vintage Autos in London

    Some pics from the transportation museum. It was a great way to comprehend the rapid growth of an industrialized city like London.

    Vintage Autos in London

    Great suggestion thanks! Chris I’m angling for the JAG in Beaulieu but Jen is set on Blenheim Palace for another trip outside the city. We just returned from Bath and Stonehenge which was great.

    Vintage Autos in London

    Hi everyone, I hope you are doing well. I’m visiting London this week with my family. While my girls are enjoying high tea, I plan to take in a museum or something they wouldn’t care for. I found the London Transport Museum which should be fun. Can anyone recommend other auto related museums or...

    Tire Opinions and Experience Requested

    Regarding a 205/70/14 tire, does anyone have a experience or an educated guess whether a load load index of 95T vs 98T would make much of a difference in ride quality? I'm thinking the added stiffness of the 98T on this 'tall' side wall might improve cornering. Hmm? Any insight would be...

    Tire Opinions and Experience Requested

    Thank you Mr. Steinkamp. I appreciate your insight. Although I like to throw it around a little, I'm more interested in a comfortable but planted ride for myself and passengers and thus I'm attracted to the 205/70's. Plus my wheels show a lot of rim edge even with 195/70's (not that 205/70's...

    coffee machine 1970,

    Thank you for the post deQuincey! That was amazing. You have a talent for sure and a lot of patience. My Elektra started leaking from the heater/boiler last summer. The replacement gasket wasn't sufficient as the soft brass bolting faces were not flat. After attempts with different...

    Tire Opinions and Experience Requested

    Coincidentally, I need new tires now. Fancy that. What are the odds while this thread is going on. Yesterday I had a legitimate blow-out on the highway. Nothing crazy or scary but man it was loud. I think my hair curled a little more. I never saw the offending object but it caused a 5/8"...

    Mechanical Fuel Pump Testing

    I'm about to replace the original mechanical fuel pump on my e3. I thought I was running on two cylinders but upon inspection I found a significant amount of fuel leaking from the pump onto the engine. That could have ended bad!

    what mechanical works are you doing now that you are locked in your house

    Seeing this gives me the sweats after what I went through restoring my trailer. Good use of those old carpentry skills. A real learning experience with benefits down the road. I know you are pretty thorough about everything so my little restoration advice is to seal every hole, crack, corner...

    I like the asymmetric shield on that style lamp. 'Utilitarian cool'.

    53rd birthday today...

    I’ve read that the front end styling on the 2000 CS wasn’t always well received. Personally I like it, especially the headlight design! Cheers

    1969 2800 E3 - Bringing "The White Car" back to life!

    Oooh! Are you adding air suspension? I’m really curious how that will work. It should be great. Keep the details coming.

    Your 2020 Garden “Build thread”

    Just completed a screen box for the top of my folks straw bale garden box. They have issues with raccoons and coyotes eating their vegetables. I’d do most anything for my folks but after 4 half days away from my own projects, I need back at it. My espresso machine is still on the work bench and...

    Lowering Springs?

    dspoljaric, I'm interested in possibly lowering my e3 a bit. Let's us know how it goes. I'm curious how much steering camber/caster adjustment is required if any.

    First day out for a while....

    Sometimes the current quarantine situation feels grim and starts to play on my family. When cabin fever roils, my girls ask for an escape in The Pearl. Going for a drive provides that much needed escape, an opportunity to see that life still continues outside of my neighborhood and town...
