Its not April the 1st is it...

Tomorrow, at least this year... and looking at the paperwork, it clearly shows some french owners and then my name.. :-D

 

Here are some more pics.

 

Of course, first the gasstation shot on the first day out, still on the silly factory steels wheels..

Yesterday, we went out on a short trip to the eastern part of Bavaria to a forgotten house far from the next village.

What lead us there, the nice landscape? Sunny weather?

No, we couldnt care less. We were out treasure hunting.

What we found there after clearing out an old hay wagon and some other crap is truly astonishing and almost unbelievable.

This is a brand new  2.2 L "Douvrin" engine, prepped by Danielson for ~200HP with lighter pistons, connections for an oil cooler, custom head with enlarged and polished channels, larger valves, harder valve springs, hot cam and modified spark seats.

 

This is the very type of engine that was used in this car:

and it will of course soon be fitted to that car:

Hopefully it will soon look like this:

I still cant belive this myself, what are the chances to find such an engine? 1:100000? find a NEW one? 1:millions. Find a new one less than two hours from home 1:billions?

Didn't we talk about french cars self-healing capabilities here recently?

 

This was Saturday morning in Switzerland:

OMG, water pump leaking big time. Happened of course some place in the Jura far from anything.

Drove down to the next village and stopped at the market place to fill up water from the fountain and further check.

Filled up, start engine, look, look again , check again.. no more leak. Moved on and did another 1400 km to france and back home.. not a single drop of water lost. Was that french car quality or shall we start marketing that swiss miracle water?
