W12-Junk in the Trunk makes for some serious booty swinging. What's the projected weight addition and bias split for your project? You may still be compensating for natural understeer.

Kudos on the audacious projects! All this Mid-Engine Golf talk made me think of this:

That would be my plan if I were in your shoes..

Vibration is probably worn/grooved/warped rotors. You could have them turned if they are not beyond the wear limit, or just buy new ones. I have been using the Akebono low dust brake pads on my wife's Volvo with excellent results. The Tundra has done well with the factory pads, BMW with the...

Lowe's in CO had a 5 piece Wiha screwdriver set on sale from $30 down to $8. I definitely don't need more screwdrivers, but made in Germany got me.

Agreed. English might be one of the easiest languages to gain a moderate proficiency. German has a high learning curve ant first and turns many students off at the beginning. However German continues to follow rules for the most part and English gets vey idiomatic. Growing up in a German...

There are plenty of us who acquire their collection in similar ways to you. I believe they would enjoy the hunt, kill, and maintenance with you. I am a mix of this method and restoration. The last car I bought was while on vacation at a lake house at Lake of the Ozarks. It was in St Louis and...

Mmm. Love me some tii touring. It looks like you have a nice collection. Got a thread for your cars? Zeug

I imagined that and then said nah, I’m missing something. Sometimes you just gotta make it happen. I was living in Munich in the late 80s and early 90s before reunification. West Germany , the D Mark and all kinds of other things that are gone into history. Makes me feel old at 53. I see...

I get the nail puller usage, but cant figure out how I would use this as a nut driver. Unless that's some kind of euphemism :)

A friend asked to borrow a band clamp tool for the Oetiker style clamps used on sprinkler systems here in Colorado. I dug it out of a bucket of irrigation parts in the shed just now and was surprised to see that it was made by Knipex. I bought it when we bought our house in 2006. I'm sure I...

I guess Knipex designed their needle nose to flex? Knipex Needle Nose Flex

Genau! German is very logical. This is why I believe German is easier to master than English which has so many idioms. My wife doesn't agree with me however. Your description of the Knipex v Icon is accurate in my experience too. The Knipex have their place, but aren't designed to do what...

Nope. Just looked him up. I used to have the domain zeugco.com because zeug.com was taken. Go figure. Zeug is German for Thing. So, Werkzeug is tool. Schreibzeug is a writing implement. etc...

Packaging says designed in the USA and made in Taiwan. I guess that is better than China?

I just bought my first Icon tool! Not because I have anything against Harbor Freight. I have just appreciated tools from some of the manufacturers a bit higher up the food chain. That was until I saw a post about the 8" Icon needle nose pliers for $18. I believe they are a copy of the Snap...

Mac user here too. Was stuck with PCs in the defense world until I started consulting. I just love hearing little ironies like this above. Makes me smile.

Congrats jgeoffr. Its certainly not the most used tool in my box, but did use the cobra XXL last week on a toilet tank-to-bowl flange nut. My son laughed at first, then realized I’m his daddy. 😎

Volvo wishes they had Gregor doing their photos. I submit as evidence: -VS-

So the Hobelklingen really are something different! Twice as thick. Learn something new every day. Zeug
