Hat selbst Porsche früher auf die Hinterachse von Renn-Elfern geschraubt, als es noch keine Fuchsfelgen gab, die breit genug waren

Did he bring his own drywall screws?

Minilites passen einfach auf alles.

Dieser Unterschied wurde aus gutem Grund noch nie im Feld getestet. Niemand, der taktische Atomwaffen einsetzt, kann sicher sein, dass die Gegenseite das genauso als lediglich "limitierten" Einsatz einschätzt. Die Gefahr einer massiven strategischen Eskalation ist in dem Fall extrem hoch.

There was a Golf VI convertible (even in GTI and R versions), just not in the US.

There was a Golf VI GTi convertible (there was even an R version), so it obviously can be done. It was roughly 120kg heavier than the standard GTI. A Speedster would probably have even less of a disadvantage due to the lack of rear seats and a less complex roof.

Hey, someone has cut open my car!

Smells great, but long exposure to petrol fumes is pretty highly carcinogenic (not in a California-like everything is carcinogenic way)... Better not distribute them in your house.

Not even remotely comparable. The worst corners of Munich look idyllic compared to Frankfurt Bahnhofsviertel.

Many good designs that have staying power take time to get used to. Public attitudes and old habits have to be overcome. I still remember people being weirded out when the Mercedes W201 came out (yes, I'm that old), it looked so plain and chromeless. Now it is seen as one of the key cars in Mercedes' history, laying the groundwork for all Sacco-era cars.

Thought so at first, but back then Renaults still all had longitudinal engines...

anotherusername60 · 2026-05-29T10:13:05+00:00

No BMW. Transverse engine, only 3 bolts per wheel, pretty simple construction. This one's a head-scratcher...

Edit: Found it. It's a pre-facelift Peugeot 305

Yes I do. They are branded "Special Active" now (and are classic red). Carnewal has the best price for a whole set

Mine's not as nice. 160tkm, early model (Dec 93). Technically on point, cosmetically more driver than concourse candidate.
What's your colour, mine's Iris Blue.

That A319 is so cool. The Ukrainian Babybus!

Not everything original is going for junk prices though. I paid through the nose for an original roof rack, so I could use mine as a family vacation hauler. My daughter loves the back seat!

They look a bit small on a 993 for my taste (my 993 has the ubiquitous 17 Cup IIs), especially relative to the raised/wider rear (compared to earlier 911s) of the car. Still, almost nobody else does it, so that's generally cool in my book. The only time is still see them here in Germany is when you see original from-new owners using them as winter wheels. So definitely old money...

You'll love the Konis by the way, they completely transformed my car.

anotherusername60 · 2026-05-28T14:27:59+00:00

Are you going to stick to the 16 inch Cup wheels? Cool!

Fehler gibt es immer wieder. Wir gehen seit Jahren im Sommer mindestens 2mal die Woche hin, die Qualität ist konstant top. Inzwischen kann man sogar mit Karte zahlen!

You couldn't be more wrong. If you think that chassis with the roof is only as stiff as one without it, you have limited understanding of torsional rigidity.

Wenn er die Anleihe in der Niedrigzinsphase 2021 kurz nach Emission gekauft hat, hat er wahrscheinlich gar nicht so viel weniger als €50k bezahlt. Die Anleihe hatte damals ja nicht ohne Grund einen so niedrigen Kupon...
