Thank God BMW ditched the idea to licence their products under the Master Race® brand.

My experience with the L Series was with a 4 cylinder in a 510. With a cam and a single 45 dcoe Weber that little coupe was a riot. Your 240 would sing with a cam. The Webers will need to be tuned, of course, but the results should be excellent!

Absolutely! The L series motors had wonderful power and character. They stood up well under heavy modifications and had a heavenly note at full chat.

As a daily rider I’m constantly being approached by folks (mostly guys) who tell me they wanted to ride but they (or their SO) feared the consequences of other drivers, mechanical failure or road conditions, etc. I always tell them they’re right. If you don’t absolutely love motorcycling you shouldn’t do it. You do…

I freely admit that unions are not immune to to any of the problems found in democratically run organizations. But their primary virtue is that very democracy. If you fail to actively participate it will revert to a dictatorial state not unlike corporate management.

My F350 four door long bed Centurion reliably delivered 20 mpg and never lagged while towing and hauling. It was a trouble free delight in deep snow. I sold it to a friend when his Toyota truck died and he daily drives it on a 30 mile commute. So much of the advance in light truck diesel engine development has been to…

I think the general thrust here is that your post in pointless.

I remember a series of articles in Excellence magazine chronicling the restoration of an early 1/3 Glasser Cabriolet. The original car was of course far more elemental but the restoration projected to be completed in 12 to 16 months stretched on for years. A similar restoration for the much more complex Intercepter…

That taken into account, I can gauruntee engine bay heat retention will never be a problem on this example.

In production scenarios where I’ve been employed that work would be done by a specially designated relief worker. This is a highly sought after position requiring a broad skill set and is more highly compensated as a result.

I’ve worked for years under call time rules. If that rule really was agreed to by company negotiators they were incompetent and entirely to blame for signing off on such an inane clause.

In 30+ years as a union member I’ve never seen this hypothetical bloat in any of the 3 unions where I’ve belonged.

There are also no Porsche 911s out there either. I have a standing offer of $1995.99 cash money for a 911 running or not. No one calls!

Yes but, the price defines product quality.

My idiocy extends to living miles off a paved road in mountains that can receive up to 5' of snow, so the stupidity of 4wd and AWD are just part of the package.

Au contraire, driven wheels, front or rear, are prevented from “locking” under braking forces by the driving torque. In the case of rear wheel drive vehicles under icy conditions slight brake pressure can cause your steering tires to stop rotating. When this happens you loose all directional control of the car. In FWD…

Thanks for that definitive video!

Utards, is a thing.
