Reply to "Spa Italia trip (as I remember it...)"

When coming back, I missed the car so much I decided to re-adjust the idle, when you’re the author of www.tuningmadeeasy.com, you do that sort of thing as a recreational joy. It got a lot better, the secondaries had been open too much, creating not a nice 4 corner idle, but also a vacuum leak of sorts. Closing them just to the point where they don’t stick, and then readjusting the primaries’ idle screws with a vacuum gauge made a big difference. I even had George Gordon Smith help me, but when I asked him, just in case when I adjusted the idle in drive and the handbrake on, to stand between the car and the wall to cushion the blow if the handbrake wasn’t up to it, he refused. Help goes only so far apparently. To apologize for his lack of help, he bought me a beer. Or maybe I bought him a beer, can’t remember now.

Dinner was Tapas, which is a nice word for getting rid of left overs, handy for the restaurant. But seriously, it was good, everybody got something they liked. Some got a lot…

Thursday started in Trier, world’s oldest town. After some challenges finding the right place to park, we had a 2 hour guided tour, with a very enthusiastic young lady, very good. After that, sitting in the shade was a priority.
