Yawn.

I had buddy that grew up in Germany as an army brat. His folks had an NSU. He told me the same thing. Other owners would go by with fingers in the air denoting number of engines replaced.

Fix the lighter...

And unlike the dragon is one way.

Stef, thank you for not saying the overly repeated- and incorrect- tale that the engine was “a gas engine converted to be a diesel.”

New motto: No boring cars, bro.

And I never renewed after that. ( Along with many I believe.)

You must possess that magic “just” wrench my wife thinks I have. “Can’t you JUST swap the motor?” “ why don’t you JUST fix the transmission?”

It’s the corporate mentality. Nothing new. In the 70's, GM spent way more on lawyers & lobbyists to try to stop putting catyltic converters on cars than if they just installed them with no price increase.

Less than .002" overbore. About how much a totally worn out engine (which is what he bought from another team) would have for wear.

You laugh- but without those, you wouldn’t have these.

Get rid of it before the mileage gets TOO high. I get it.

And used his blinker!

Yea-I’m looking at it going Hmm...

www.skoolie.net is the best bus site out there. (I have my own short bus.)

“ass slapper” is the term I’ve heard.

Do you think if Lewis was racing Nico + Seb in GoKarts he wouldn’t try to win JUST as hard? Or say fuck it-theres no money in it?

Share the road!

I’ve been around racing everyone of my 54 years-and these are the only race cars that amaze me. Probably less of a rulebook than an autocross-most cars handbuilt-and almost every car is different.

Europe is Mopar Crazy-has been forever. I was in Germany back in the early 90’s-to wrench at 3 drag races. There were more Mopars racing than Chevys or Fords. And any other gearheads had them for street cars. The other mechanic on the team had Dodge Cornet with a 440. You REALLY need to be commited to own something…
