WHAT DID you do today?

[Sparkie77]

Oh I got ya. Nah, then I'd have to put signals on the bumper or fender. No way in hell i'm drilling my fender, and i'll probably destroy the light on the bumper once the snow banks start growing. I don't have enough experience with a long nose and a spead axle trailer to confidently say i wont hit my bumper.

I know the feeling. It was hard enough getting the XL around our yard with the columbia. Kind of a bitch with the 9900.


I still managed to do nothing today. Going out to supper with my grandma and grandpa tonight since they'll be on their way back from dropping the 389 off at Peterbilt of Fargo

Not today but yesterday I finished the frame of the bike trailer at work and bolted everything on it to test it.





Tomorrow I have to disassemble it, and put some finishing touches to it and it will be sent to powdercoat.

What are the airbags for?

What are the airbags for?

x2. I don't see any rotation point, so I am clueless as to what they are for.

Dug the other 50 lbs of potatoes. Done with that.
Crawled under the car. Checked the level of transmission fluid. It's either low or perfect. I then unplugged the drain plug and collected a small sample to see what color it is, and I dropped the plug. So it is definitely low now after I scrambled around for the plug. I also dumped a bunch of fluid down my jacket to my shirt.

What are the airbags for?

Lifting and lowering the wheels on the trailer?

Nice work though

Dump some seafoam trans tune in it, run it for about 50-100 miles and then change it. Before it turns clear or gets shinier....

[Iceman [U.S.]]

We are planning on doing the same thing with Lucas. Any opinions on the two? So far I've read better stuff on the Seafoam in the 2 minutes I've researched it.

The airbags are for lowering the trailer (yes it works, Sparkie) so you can easily drive 2 heavy bikes on it.
When its behind a car the frame can be lowered to the ground and an aluminium plate can be folded down and you can easily push a 200kg bike on it with no problem.

It can safely hold 2 bikes of max. 650kg or one of 1300kg.

[Beolex]

Took some pictures of this beauty...

That's disgusting. What a perfect way to ruin such an exclusive and unique type of car, the VW R32.
In Beolex's Socialist Regime that would be punishable by lifetime in jail.

At least it was a DSG that was ruined, since those are useless anyways.

That's kinda what I figured

I would do the seafoam to clean it and then use the Lucas with new fluid. Lucas works wonders but Seafoam cleans better

I went to school today, but it was kind useless since I didn't learned much.
At home I've messed a bit with some n/b's, ate some potato chips and drunk some scotch. That's it for today.

The German economy must be great if a 20 year old studemt cam afford good scotch!


Woke up at a rest area in Minooka, Illinois. Fueled in Gary IN. Stopped for lunch (a Crunch bar) south of Lansing, MI. Sat in line on the bridge from Port Huron to Sarnia for like 45 min, then helped a driver with a broken airbag on his drives get going (he was loaded pulling a 5 axle trailer, had to raise the lifts and lock the diffs, and feather the clutch. He had been gunning it with open axles and lowered lifts for 10 min before i got there; he hadnt moved 3 feet. I'm guessing he was new). Got passed customs and drove to Ayr. Got truck lubed :3 Currently lying in the bunk talking to the gf / posting here / digesting a steak. Off to North York in a bit.

Good scotch? I didn't said that. I think I gonna disappoint you, the last good Whiskey I've bought was 5€ for 0,05L from the only Bavarian Whiskey Distillery. The one I drunk today cost only 7€ per 0,7L, so it was kinda crap. But it go me drunk which was everything I wanted it to do

(Thank god for spell check, it saved me from about a hundred spelling mistakes right now -.-)
