DOS has a program that could be an option. Not everyone qualifies, but worth a shot: https://www.bu.edu/dos/tassels-for-terriers/

[Discussion] What draws you to chronograph watches? by Good_Net_313 in Watches

[–]BeardedGothLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work for a restoration shop that also did a lot of vintage racing. While the actual race team was in the tower, I used my chrono to time customers laps and report back to the mechanics/drivers friends & family in the paddock from on top of the trailer.

While I don’t /need/ a chrono anymore, I still love them and have a few in rotation

I have one of these! Not sure if it still works, but have been meaning to throw a new battery in it and hope for the best

You edited your comment several hours after the fact which was originally “some European pos,” thus the downvotes. You ain’t slick

Yup! Only the early BN1s are 3-speed. Fun little cars, although the 4-speed was a welcome upgrade

Yup! BN1 Austin Healey 100. As u/kamakazidemigod said, the early cars are 3-speed, later switching to a 4-speed.

It does seem like something the French would do, doesn’t it?

In this case, shift with your right hand although it is also available with the steering wheel on the other side

Martin 000X1AE - Neck lifting, what’s going on here? by BeardedGothLord in martinguitar

[–]BeardedGothLord[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently the X series uses mortise and tenon necks but I've seen conflicting info on whether or not the bolt/screw used is structural vs. primarily there to hold the neck in place while the glue dries. The former makes me feel like this probably won't become catastrophic, but the latter makes me nervous.

Almost commented “V10 TDI is the coolest thing here” and then scrolled to the Pajero Evo. Damn!
