As some of you might know, my mechanic abilities are not the best - I'm more the "theoretic guy". Therefore I have an affordable professional mechanic, it's the younger brother of an good old friend. He works for a Hamburger and a Coke, if you know what I mean.
So far so good, but this guy - Daniel - is younger than my teener and so he hardly knows anything about it's technique. I'm not talking about changing oil or valve adjustment, I thought more about things where it would be a benefit to have some experiences with (e.g. rear calipers or mechanic ignition). So I decided to bring my teener to Rudi's shop this year. This is a friend from the bavarian 914 group (Germany) - for example, he services the "Singer GT", which is unbeaten in historic races in its class for the last couple of years ... Rudi has about 20 years experience with working on teeners. I told him my knowledge about the history and some known problems and asked him to check the whole car. Last week he told me at the phone that there were some significant problems with the suspension setup and the ignition system, but no "expensive problem". Friday I drove to Rudi's to get my teener back. It was a 2-hours-trip (one direction) and €260, but it was worth every cent and every minute. The car handles better than ever, especially on twisty roads (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) The engine runs better than ever, no more starting problems or too low rpm in neutral ... I didn't know that a teener can run that good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) Now I hope that the weather gets better that I can enjoy more time with my teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) Gustl |
