The first live music I ever saw was Ian and Sylvia, at a tiny little club in DC called The Cellar Door. I was in high school, with a fresh drivers license and no money, but their second album "Four Strong Winds" had just been released, and I had to go. (I should have led with picture inste...

A lot of folks in X3 X5 land back off the stock caps for lower pressure ones to keep the system pressure down and prolong life of the cooling group stuff. I just freeCP them every 100k miles....😀 Bruno , let that smoke hit some cold paper and see if you get the sniff of coolant in the condensate. P...

Juan Braun is a 777 pilot for American, but is careful to never mention the company in his postings. He also flies the London route.

Hey everyone, since my car is currently taken apart as the engine is being rebuilt, I was thinking of upgrading the stock oil cooler system. I've seen Robert DIY finding out it simply isn't effective, besides, I need to replace both intake and out-take hoses anyway, as they're done. My biggest conc...
