Oh man, I'll be eligible for that club in 6 months. I see there's a reserved spot for CP. Good show, old man (or maybe you're a youngster compared to me ;-)....
Holy moly, I did not realize I would also be eligible soon... Three years! Heck, I almost got to use the Katie Kelly clause! (Been at it for 16 years!) 8O GZ ...
Well, looks like I'm not in the market for a car after all. My wife was rear ended yesterday, just a minor fender-bender, and no one was hurt, but we've got to...
Wow, sorry to hear that. However, if she was rear ended, shouldn't the insurance of the person who hit her cover the damage and costs? -Greg ... no one ... ...
Not if he lives in a state like Michigan, which is no fault. Especially if you drop your collision coverage on an older car to save money. Greg Bell (resident...
Yeah, we can expect the other person's insurance to pay, but in my experience it takes time. And in the interim, I've got to come up with the deductible and...
This is for an A1 (Scirocco) I need the little bracket that mounts on the differential housing opposite the rear motor mount bracket. I also need all the...
I know what your talking about. It bolts to the bell housing using one of the housing bolts. It locks against the casting and has a stepped bolt going through...
I luckily don't have to contend with this while driving an 81 Scirocco, but I've heard that you can disconnect the brake light switch at the pedal, and the...
Group I have used left foot braking for years now. It is hard to do at first but if you take your time it can be a very effective technique. I'm a road racer...
This issue still confuses me quite a bit, despite having it somewhat explained in the past. The typical FSP thinking (and I'm assuming EP too), which makes...
... <SNIP> ... I haven't managed to find anyone with a difinitive answer about this topic yet. It's all pretty much theory and speculation at this point,...
... I anxiously await your results and conclusions, o fearless tester :P The hp debate really throws a lot into question. I'm not so sure that even the low...
Hey, I was just wondering about gearing. From a mechanical perspective, is it at all preferable to raise or lower the drive gears (1-5) versus changing the...
... I don't know the "real" answer to your question, but I do know that the same effective gear ratio on my mountain bike "feels" somehow different when I do...
... Damn Floridians! At least we get to relax and save our money in the off season... Oh no!!! The wife spent all of my savings on X-Mas presents for the ...
... Standby for the grampaw bicycle joke: "Is what with the Biopace chain rings?" ; ) That's the only explanation I can think of. Between the SPD and the...
... Biopace sucked when it was cool. Oddly enough, I know what Neal is saying - I like a the feel of the big ring/big cog when I could get a same or similar...
... Even _I_ didn't confess to it now, did I? (But I used Scotch tape for mine....) That was on my Nishiki International, with the Suntour components... thoose...
... Data points to ponder: The Ankeny ultimate CSP Miata of a few years back had some 13x9's, but later wound up with 15" wheels and 245mm radial Hoosiers. I...
... I read an article in a magazine on this very subject recently. Unfortunately I don't remember where... Apparently the closer a set of gears are to 1:1 the...
... GZ say: Given enough handling, you don't need brakes! Read the article by Katie Kelly about driving the AM car from Canada? The heck with line, stay on...
My very first "real" mountain bike was a Specialized Hard Rock with SunTour components and Biopace rings. Just 'cause I know it'll flip you old geezers out,...
Please tell us what you do play with, Geoff! Neal (ein mehr Bier, bitte!) ... http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/ ... Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to...
... Okay, can you at least remember if it was a _bike_ magazine or a _car_ magazine?! ; ) I can see Mr. Chain being unhappy on the smaller end of the corn...
