Thanks. Especially high praise coming from you John. You are one of the few who have seen one new.

Great work Shvegel. How would you like to come over and stay at my house in the Netherlands for a while and do my entire engine compartment this way? I'll provide lodging, food and drink!

johnk · « **Reply #809 on:** September 13, 2018, 03:29:58 »

I'm going to be afraid to show pics of mine after everyone has seen how nice
shvegels is...

Peter,
I would love to but you must be warned I am a Mariner and you could be forced to sell the car to pay for the food and drink.

Shvegel

Psst. Don't worry about this Peter. Years ago, someone came to our lake home, and brought a case of this cheap, lousy beer called Red Dog...in CANS no less. Ugh. I swear, the cans pro-created since we couldn't manage to reduce the volume in the case. Then we got a great idea--bring it on a sailboat! Mariners or sailors will drink anything! With glee might I add, at all hours of the day or night! So, when crewing one day, I brought the remainder of the case, and it was gone before you could say "Ahoy, Mateys..."

Bottom line? The cheapest rot-gut brew you can find will be fine for anyone who calls themself a sailor or mariner.

Drink is cheap in Holland and I am quite an accomplished cook...

I could import some Coors or Millers from the US if you prefer bad beer. ;-)

Reminds me of the old joke: Coors is like making love in a canoe...

I was in Prague this summer and our guide was filling us in on the background of Anheiser Busch bringing "Budweiser" to the US. The original formula is sold in Europe with availability in the US all under a different name because of the contracts law. He loves the original BUD available in Europe and almost threw up when he tasted our Bud in the US.

Pawel66 · « **Reply #815 on:** September 14, 2018, 17:23:23 »

I work in Prague.
I do not know anybody who would not like the Czech beer trying it in the Czech Republic. Regrdless if it is a world-wide known name or a small local brewery.

New front bumpers.

Shvegel · « **Reply #817 on:** September 15, 2018, 00:48:31 »

Peter,
I had thought about posting the Coors joke but didn't want to offend anyone. We are on the same page. Currently sipping some Balcone's Texas single malt Bourbon. Very nice stuff.

Tyler,
Nice bumper. I hope to finally get mine on next month.

johnk · « **Reply #818 on:** September 15, 2018, 03:00:26 »

Pawell
The Czech beer was great. His comment was how bad the American Bud was compared to the original Bud.

Pawel66 · « **Reply #819 on:** September 15, 2018, 06:30:12 »

Yes, I understood!

I wrote it to just add to general knowledge since it was mentioned, but also to soften the US Bud disadvantage as it is really difficult to match the Czech beer.

Also: you could write a word if anyone plans to be in Prague so that we could have a beer or go to Technical Museum together..

This week, new shocks, motor & tranny mounts, and a Timevalve exhaust were added. What a huge difference! Plus an adjustment to the rear drum brakes that makes the car stop like it's supposed to -- important.

Unfortunately there is a bit of contact between the exhaust and the body that is most noticeable at startup. Will have to work through that. But I am pleasantly surprised at how quiet the TV system is. I was expecting it to be louder. Maybe my former system was much worse than I realized.

I would have loved to met you there Pawel. I should have posted our vacation plans before we went.

I will admit I tried many czech beers and loved them all. May have been influenced by the beatiful country and wonderful bar maids!

Looks lie you are getting on it pretty good in the left hander, James! Lots of fun!
