@svend i feel like i did the other day on my mother's car a far better job than you ever did (and ever will).

Hope you are not jealous of my professionalism.

Car DOTS at the end of the article.

Yesterday i did go to my mother's quickly, it was already feeling like spring and i ate outdoor with a peep :

Some cherry wood chops :

Yes, the wall and the roof are not flat :

There were bees (or was it bumblebees) buzzing around those, i also did a small videos of it (unfortunately there was too much noise to really hear the buzz) :

The old barn in front of the house :

The Chartreuse on the other side of the Gresivaudan valley :

45 minutes later at my brother's in Chartreuse (the peak at the left of the last photo is located on the same village my brother lives (further "on the left") ; it's upper in altitude and it snowed there less than a week ago :

My brothers Megane Estate diesel and manual and his wife's Mini All4 diesel :

The Vercors in the background (the "lighter" chain), Grenoble being in between :

The chickens :

Speaking for things I'm too old for, did Nibby not make the transition? Or did they finally cross the line?

There were several who decided not to do new Oppo for whatever reasons.

@dtg11 There is a reason he's offering you a car that's "worth more," plus cash, to trade for a car with a rebuilt title.

Never trust a man willing to trade away something at a "loss"

On the contrary, if it's an old friend who wants to have a project car and this one prove to be just a reliable one, it could be a good oppo-rtunity.

@italianjobr53 said in Oppo school me on 2005 Audi A4s:

@qaaaaa aah ok, I'll go check

The whole Lemförder 2742101 kit (which are the exact same part sold by Audi) of new arms for both sides of the front, including bushings and new bolts cost around 450€.

Obviously, you can also buy them separately.

I would gladly welcome you to the 200k miles dented A4 B7 club, mine has the 3.0 TDI so i can't give you many engine advice except that you need to check the injection pump cam bearing.

If it's cheap and there is nothing major wrong with the engine and gearbox it's not a bad car and wrenching on the 2.0T must be quite easy compared to the V6 TDIs and V8s.

Here is what my engine bay looks like :

I know this topic is about hard rocks but i will just leave this here.

Not to be a trou du cul but those are saucisses, saucisson being cured meat :

And it's "en papillote" rather than "en papier", there doesn't seem to be a direct translation in English unfortunately, the word is also used for the christmas chocolates that are "en papillote" on a foil and with jokes or quotes inside of it :

Looks very tasty anyway, bon apétit (you could also try to put some dry white wine on it next time, it pairs well with all of those ingredients).

@silentbutnotreallydeadly said in Still frothing over the GR Yaris:

@jb-boin
Supra starts 10% cheaper than A110...

87 grand plays 101 grand...

As much as I'd love to own an A110...it's just not going to happen.

In France the base A110 price (58k€) is in between the 4 (50k€) and the 6 cylinders (62k€) Supra (not to mention the sensibly higher CO2 tax for the Supra) while similar to the 6 cylinders in term of performance and weighting about 430kg less (and about 330kg than the 4 cylinders Supra).

As much as i'd love to own a Supra... it's just going to happen.

@wbizarre the A110 hasn't been made in collaboration with Nissan.

@SilentbutnotreallyDeadly the A110 is priced similarly to the Supra in Europe.

I personally think that the Supra being a is a positive thing, BMW is the specialist of inline 6 engines and makes good sporty chassis.

They seem to have sold 5887 Supra in 2020 which is great but makes it hard to justify developping a whole new car (though it's what Alpine did with the A110 that only did sold it's 10000 car a few weeks ago).
