I'm confused, shouldn't we offer up unbroken parts to the God of BWAAA? Isn't offering broken intermediate shafts and useless cam gears kinda like trying to convince Set that the kidnapped two-bit street walker on his alter is a virgin?

I dunno guys... but, here's a test. "Minus 12":

To placate the 928 gods, I offer this shard...



... from hell's heart may it stab at your problems.

The wife and kids were gone when I got home, and all day I had this idea. I also happened to have some "left-overs" from when my son and I made a bird house. 5 minutes later... 928 alter! What can I say, it's a calling.

However, you have to admit that knowing there is a place you can turn to in your darkest hour, gives you some comfort... right? I know it does for me? But then, I am a man of the cloth - and for me faith is blind.

That is rare religious relic with a fine patina of rust. Can't say I've seen anything that awe-inspiring since the finely machined water pump cavity in Heinrich's newly purchased 85 or the TB welded to the seized waterpump pulley at DEVEK Days. Beeeoootiful!

Possibly it is a funeral pyre for fallen 928 parts?

This thread is getting scary. Not for those with weak stomachs.

Chaad-
The 928 sect has a different chant. Repeat after me;

o wa ta jer kai am!
o wa ta jer kai am!
o wa ta jer kai am!

Bill;
I'm thinking the rust came from the part lying on the floor of the car... PO had cut a hole in the roof, probably to install an cheesy Midas sunroof. Big hole+poor covering=water logged carpet. (79 euro auto, was no sunroof)

Why post one part at a time? Why not go for the whole lot. This could be the first Funeral for the shrine. Not mine luckily, but someone needed some prayers.
