What did YOU do today?

Looks like biking could be some sort of subcultural footnote on the Rev.

Back in 2014 I spent several months training GF in prep for bike tours in Europe.
She instantly failed the public roads, but here managed a polite trail in the Wachau Valley Austria, opposite the village of Durnstein.


Yet another recommendation, a guided tour in the hills above Beaune France.


Dropping down from the cliffs...


...zooming thru the hamlets...


...and the hectic cross-town traffic...


...then snacking in the vineyards...


.. or lunching down in the valley where in particular villages on particular days, Ferrari's swarm like flies.

Probably Meursault.

This is the fourth issue (crazy idle/droop) I've had on my 16v that's due to a failed solder joint. Unfortunately the pin sleeve fell out of the connector when I took it apart so I had to improvise with a barrel connector and proper crimp.

[secretmachine]

common issue is common, been harping on connector wire and solder issues for a long time, glad you found yours.

Took a $20 gamble on a 6mmx1.0 speedbleeder being the correct size for the clutch slave. It's the correct size and was money well spent.

Sold a Renault. bought a Mercedes. Not sure if this is a good decision. Time will tell.

Found out my fan clutch is toast, my A/C compressor clutch fell off (must've happened sometime last week), and got a speeding ticket on a country road. At least I'm getting over my cold...

Went to smog my 190E today. As soon as I showed up to the station after driving around 15 miles he told me to go drive around for another 1 hour and come back. Took a trip to the MB dealer and picked up some parts. Yes I passed smog.

Sounds like he's smogged a few 16v's before lol ;p

Shout outs to Gene for helping me maneuver it in and Lawrence for moral support, lol!

[secretmachine]

that is an exciting sight!

[marrymemercedes]

Nice!! More details!

[mattmon]

Nice!! More details!

I'll do a build thread here pretty soon.

The drivetrain and mounting are more or less complete.

I'm now focusing on electrical, cooling and other ancillary systems.

For anyone wondering...

Yes, the hood closes.
No, it's not a MB tranny.

I'm guessing the 722.6 was probably too tight in the tunnel? or you had a demons desire to use a manual behind that lump.

m113 is definitely a favourite for sound.

I am getting used to the whistle in the m157's exhaust now though.

I'll save the details for thier own thread, but the short story is I did a cut and shut on a bimmer 6 speed.
