Engine problems

My T1 bus broke down with severe backfires 2 weeks ago. It isn't running since then as I can't find the reason. The engine is fairly new, but somehow it never ran really well. I took it to the workshop where I bought it last year to adjust the engine and carburetors, to fix a lose back wheel and to do some TLC. A few month later I got it back with a missing shock bolt, a fixed wheel bearing but still broken wheel hub and still not well running engine! So the problems were basically the same as before after waiting a few month and spending a 4-digit amount of money. I was fairly disappointed, especially when the owner forbid me to ever show up again at his workshop after I asked (for the 4th time in several weeks) to at least get my parts back that were left there! 

So I don't have an engine builder of my trust anymore...again! Next week I will have to take the daily to Bulli Summer Festival in Wesel....again!

Chromed Coolers

Not all collectors fancy repro coolers, but "retro-products" 6-pack coolers were produced in a limited run of 200 to 500 pieces and became highly sought collectors items in the recent years. The chromed versions are even more rar, they say there were only 20 each ever made! You can't find them, they have to find you! These were offered to me by a collector from California and I just couldn't resist.
