Aren’t you the guy that someone paid a kid to rewrite the piece for?

Congrats!

You and me both, Patrick. You, me, and my entire 9th grade US studies class, who in 2005 were subjected to 54 minutes of praise of the first-gen TT under the guise of a “transportation in the US” presentation.

Did you take it to York? The river’s pretty nice there:

Looks like the M plate was grabbing pizza at Marco’s on Pelham in Dearborn (Heights)

To be fair, the gearboxes between the manual and the cambiocorsa are about the same. It’s the hydraulically-controlled shifting and clutch actuation that differ. Both are made by Graziano Trasmissioni. And I believe the the cambiocorsa folks just modify the controls with the Formula Dynamics DBWEM to a satisfactory…

Man, I used that rear wiper just today - Colorado weather ftw.  And rear seat delete?  I love putting people back there - it’s not that bad!

Heh, floormats, a trunk mat, and a red pull strap for the trunk 

I actually took my clear ones off to run the amber markers because I like the look and they came with the Carello euro headlights I installed. Not really sure but I think the US cars didnget clear markers.

Hmm, Rose person. How many cylinders Goblin got?  I.e. who dis?

Wow.  Bizarre similarity.  Excellent build progress. You in IA?  I’ll stop by next time through 

Lol I love the Abarth. All relative 

I’ve been a big fan of this series - props to Stef!

Yeah!  So many stupid trips along that road.  Nice Abarth :)

Slighty unrelated - any word on what might be scaled down on Fields’ Dearborn campus plans now that Corktown campus is seeing some large investments?

That Alfa 164 taillight weathered it like a champ

The roadway is not nearly 300ft tall. You can tell by looking at the buildings. Maybe the height of the towers is 90m.  Very unfortunate event, the collapse.

Picked up a 91 300CE-24 manual (dogleg) sportline in Bavaria with my dad.  235km/h workouts, a trip to the office in Untertuerkheim, and shipped it back to the US.  Get a 300CE..

Did they fix the crankshaft failure issues of the earlier TDV6?  

I live across the street from Ford powertrain and can confirm how loud these are. We see the mileage growth fleets in their groups of three make their way around Dearborn, and these things especially nice to hear when the first two make a left on green and the last one has to punch it to stay with the group before the…
