Just read the whole thread on your rebuild.
Impressed with what you did there Jonathon.

Nice work!

What?!? That's the best time to do all the work... keeps you out of shouting range... hopefully. ;-)

Nice work on the engine re-build. Very impressed...

Nice work.

How did you manage down a vehicle for 11 months?

Wow. One year! that is lightning fast. I am approaching 5 years for my 928 5.0ltr S4 rebuild. Everything is just relative.

Peter, I have a 2001 Impala my parents gave me a long time ago when I was in school. Never got rid of it and it has proven a reliable backup car.

I also daily drive an '11 jetta TDI which is very reliable.

My SC was also available to be driven all summer which helped ease the pain

Regards

Jonathon

Yes Livio, everything is indeed relative.

I think as life gets busier projects just take longer... I am starting a family and am noticing a trend...
