Garaged most of the time now with the unacceptable high fuel prices.

Me not, life is to short to drive boring cars. Driving to the dad of my wife and using the ferry over the river Elbe.

Nice weather here.

My brother in law likes old farmer benz, slowness on wheels

New age and baroque.

In the distance you can always spot German tourists, all of them bring a canoe, pedal bike, small motorcycle or the like.

The blue car is a 5-speed GTS belonging to a friend of mine. Sport seats I believe.

For my valve grinder I got some grinding wheels from India. The quality seems alright but the wheels were way out of balance. In the first picture you can see the lead-weight (the type used to balance automotive wheels) I had to add to the grinding wheel in order to get it properly balanced. The unbalance was very large, it made the very heavy grinding machine to walk around on the bench. The valve grinder come from the Swedish Air Force of the good old days when they fixed up Merlin and other IC engines.

Jealous!!! New wiring...always nice to see your work Rob. You and the other wizards care enough to share with the rest of us the way.

It's actually just the original wiring, cleaned with Formula 409 on paper towels, then Wurth silcone-free rubber care, then reinstalled. Same treatment on the harness zipties. Cleanliness goes a long way!
