In Germany, a probably more than half completed Vertue is looking for a new owner to continue the project.

I have not seen the boat personally.

Hmm. The boat we had in the 90's was built around 1930 as a working boat. The hull had been rebuilt in 1970 by the former owner, so, the first hull had lasted 40 years. In the 1990's, the rebuilt...

Sanding + Acetone. I had hoped to have addressed the blush with the Acetone. The second coat had hardened reasonably in the meantime, although developing a very strong orange skin effect. I have put...

Two days ago, I have put two coats of Le Tonkinois on Epoxy coated ply. Now, it seems, that the Tonk will not dry (the parts are indoors, approx. 15 ° C).

Anything I can do except wash the Tonk...

It's not so much a problem of the driveway, it is more a problem of the vehicle choice. Get two hovercrafts and you are sorted.

Longevity will depend strongly on whether the fence design takes into account the environment. Kids (or even worse youths) climbing fences are hard on fences and require "vandal proof" design,...

Herzlichen Dank!

Euch allen und denjenigen, die Euch etwas bedeuten, ein gutes neues Jahr.

We need to have new bunk matraces for the boaty. Unless there is an excellent reason not to do this, we will go for a normal matrace foam core. But which material would have been used traditionally...

Corporate games are. What I realize more and more is, how vulnerable many higher managers are. Often, they have responsibility for topics which they do not understand to the last detail. They...

... and here is me hoping for another good 40 years before I get promoted to the next level ... Guess I have to keep in good cover to avoid the being shot. Strange to read old posts from folks like...

Haven't been around a lot in the last years and suddenly today, I see, that I have made it to senior. What are the mechanics behind that? Also, is it some sort of "quality brand mark" or more in the...

Oh well, I am older than ten or twelve. I am not very well traceable, I agree, but then again, I am living a few hours flight from most of you.

Timing belt has been mentioned several times, the pulley that adjusts the belt tension is another topic and should be replaced with the belt. As said by others, proper service schedule is a topic. If...

Traditionally in Germany, it would be a Waltz. Which seems sensible, as you don't Foxtrott.

Mighty, thanks! I missed out on the word insignia ...

I know there are a few excellent sites around showing collections of manufacturers or class sail signs. Only, I can't seem to find them. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Probably, most people have them on the boat - the 2 or 3 contact "boat" electric plugs and sockets for navigation lights etc etc. The ones with the silver housing, the black insulation plastic and...

Todays agenda was winch greasing. Everything went well, but ... I wonder if I used a suitable grease. The grease I used is a CA-soap based grease, well waterproof. The reason why I am wondering is,...

Not a lot of gun experience with me - apart from the 15 months in the German Army. Everyone in the German Army at that time knew, that an Uzzi could go of if loaded, cocked and bashed about, even...

On a side note - I have absolutely no idea (and have not heard anything about it in the news) whether Grass had any plans to visit Israel or not.

And then, there was a German farmer who - after just a bit of servicing - took his Unimog to the Paris-Dakar - IIRC in the early 80's -and did very well.

BMW G 650 GS. The single cylinder. Why not second hand with reasonable mileage. It should meet all your motorcycle needs for several years. It is light enough to lift if fallen over, it is fast...

Another one to be mentioned that could have been a nice buy: Jensen Interceptor.

The Spitfire also wasn't reknown for trouble free long life ...

Classic sporty 4WD? Fast on snow? Lancia Delta HF Integrale. Also, as a plus, it doesn't give anybody or anything room to slide around inside. ;-)

I'd consider a Passat 4WD TDI, it should meet...

Korrekt, dieses Forum ist international.

EnisiWayaDekanogi, it is a pleasure to read you here. You have taught me a lot about your world through your posts.

A two door red sportscar should do. Like a Golf GTI, GTD or something like that.

;-)

Gute Besserung!

Just to put some perspective on this:

The FDP was quite successfull in the last election (with more than 10 % of votes IIRC, whoever wants, can do the exact research). But - if the next election...

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen

there was a time, when it was socially unacceptable if a man was not a Gentleman. Certainly, this was a time, when Ladies would only approve of Gentlemen and talk to...

Heard some time ago, that happiness is, when your emotion, rational thought and reality are in line. So, the root of your conflict is probably, that you love what you are doing today (emotion), that...

It's not, that we don't have a shop-vac, we do. One of those "wet and dry" vacs. It has filter bags and altenatively a big paper filter in the center. With or without filter bag - as soon as it gets...

It's already a bit late for a merry Christmas but still in time to wish you a happy new year!

It may be part of the business model. But that isn't certain, as the cost of providing spares is quite substantial for the manufacturer. Also, too many failures aren't good for the reputation.

One...

Just silly. I hope noone got injured seriously, apart from that, I hope all involved learn a lot from the accident. If the appropriate safety distances had been maintained, it shouldn't have been...

The stuff is still very much around in Germany - and in France and in Belgium.

Germany mostly WWII, France and Belgium an awfull lot of WWI.

Earlier this year, a defusion team blew up in...

If you really want clarity, see a good lawyer specialising in life insurances etc.

It is at least a possibility, that the actual legal situation does differ both from the terms of contract and...

What startles me is the dragging bit. There shouldn't be any dragging in 4 - 5, even if the chains are entangled. After all, moorings are normally laid to provide secure fixation in far stronger...

15 to 20 years will do. About the advance in technology - yes, it is clear, if technology advances at current pace, in 15 - 20 years, we will buy a fully automatic vacuum cleaner that operates well...

Dyson has a high number of fans in Germany as well. I do not know how they came out in recent tests though, I went with what is offered in the local small shop. For a Dyson, I would have needed to go...

So, what is the right strategy at the moment?

I haven't got all the answers, but yesterday, we invested in a new vacuum cleaner. With the old one close to 20 years, already duck taped hose and...

There are only two colours for boats: White for yachts and black for working craft. Anything else is only for dinghies.

No, not all EU members have adopted the EURO.

France has, the UK haven't.

Which time frame are you looking at? I am pretty sure the EU (and the EURO) will survive this week, I am also pretty sure, that both will not survive the next tenthousand years in the current form.

I don't know the future. All I can see is what everyone can see - new government being set up in Greece and under discussion for Italy. At least at the moment, it doesn't seem as if Greece wants to...

all the eternal discussions about American policies!

Greece - ok, the discussion seems to have moved away from Greece. Time will show if the new government in Greece is sorting the problems or...

It isn't that simple. Regarding the "Party", let's go back to chancellor Schroeder about ten years ago. He started something called "Agenda 2010" which did bring about a reduction of the cost of...

Not from Greece, only from Germany. Latest news is, that the referendum is probably off again. From some point of view, the referendum did make sense - it was a statement, that Papandreou believed,...
