I´m overhauling a 20 years old throttle body. The valves seems to be made of massive gold ...

Bastelmann!

I love your German Mechanic's Prayer.
It just happens to be the same as the Canadian Mechanic's Prayer!

Hi Rich,
Pst! Pst! Pst! Don´t call the attention of the mods. Maybe they will ban me, if they realize the meaning of my signature.

No, Sir, that´s very unlikely or even impossible. There is no healthier food than a currywurst.

Picked up my newly refurbished alloys!

Had all 5 done, I think the owner did the best job he could. Sparkly!

Next job is to afix a red rim saver surround, and maybe either paint, replace or buy new red centres to just finish it off on my Firefrost Tourer I'm well pleased!
