Actually the TT was a very well put together car. Lots of new manufacturing processes used. I owned one for 5 years and never had the slightest issue other than the coil packs but those are cheap and easy to replace (and only had to do once to the newer version coils). I even had stage III APR mods it’s entire 5 year…

In my youth, I had an 8-track recorder. To make it even more awesome, it was by Realistic from Radio Shack. My nerd-dom knows no boundaries.

Given that the Phaeton (and related 2004-2018 Bentley Continental/Flying Spur family) uses an Audi “engine-forward” layout with a longitude transaxle, removing the front fascia is a requirement to do some of the servicing, and it’s not difficult.

Keep in mind (unless you already know this) that the 4.2 has the lovely cam sprockets that are a press-fit, and requires the special tooling to get everything aligned properly - there’s a pin that goes in the side of the block to lock the crank, and a bar that aligns the cams - then the belt can be replaced.

And the very basics, a new cap. Though on a Phaton its probably hand cast in a garage by a little old german engineer, or from a VW fox.

In Montreal. I stumbled upon it while waiting to catch a flight to to Turkey. It gave me lots of feels.

I heard there was a secret chord,

She’s not wrong about onion rings, I hate when the entire onion comes out once you take a bite. 

Not to ring the alarm unnecessarily, but were these “inexcusable and unacceptable” comments....racist?

That’s it?? I was expecting a vast tapestries of obscenities like the dad in a Christmas Story. 

Sounds like a show that could be improved by the ship sinking in the middle of sea. 

Kind of reckless to imply it might have been racist (in the original article).

Kinda shitty to dismiss her as a television actor since Bill Murray started out as a... *checks notes* tv actor.

I like everything about this, from the color, to the stick, to the condition. I just don’t think it’s worth the asking price though. Also,

Thank you for censoring 4 out of the 5 fucks to keep your PG comment rating

Gotta use the chocks. For safety.

Here’s the transcript: “No, no, no, no, f***, f***, no, no, no, f***, f***, ... FUCK” 

“Preferable not to ram into other aircraft” isn’t usually a small detail one would absent-mindedly overlook. It’s not stashed deep in the manual like a note on changing engine oil viscosity if you have to use a different blend of fuel.
