The first three were shot on a tripod. I couldn't find the moon with the
camera on the tripod during the full eclipse, so that last one is handheld,
at ISO 6400, f/8, 1 sec., with a 500 mm lens.

Beautiful full moon and no clouds here.
But -1F is cold, even with less than 5mph wind.
Went out for 2-3 minutes and the cold went right through my jeans.
Hard to type with the coughing fit I'm still going through.
Even crazydog beat me back to the porch, she says it's too cold out there.

If you go look at it, pull the oil cap off. Blowby is normal but if it’s
blowing oil out all over the place then I would pass. I could be the guy is

I also noticed in the pictures, the injection lines have no mounting brackets
or supports. That means whoever worked on it, probably doesn't know what they
are doing. It has also had the AMG Dave/GSXR turbo mod. Meaning the waste gate
is mechanical and not electronic (probably a good thing).
Slip-on braid is bling. It can't fit tight enough to do what the metal braid
is supposed to do,
as regards braking performance.
You do NOT want metal braid, of any flavor, for general driving. Abrasion from
dirt is the problem.
The regular hoses work perfectly, perhaps for twenty years or so,

It’s an aftermarket approach to crankcase ventilation. Not ideal, but doesn’t
hurt anything. You probably don’t recall, but the E300D you looked at for me a
year ago had a similar kludge.
Looks like a nice car, and the price is decent, too.
I’ll let others comment on the engine as I’m not that
There is supposed to be a plastic hose that goes from the valve cover to the
intake hose between the air box and turbo. The fact they have this thing rigged
up makes me think it’s got way too much blow by. Or maybe somebody is just
stupid and thought this was better. In any case, the 124 2.5
I’m not smart enough to know what normally should be in place instead of that

Those stainless braid over teflon or nylon tubing 'racing brake hoses' aren't
for use by normal people, especially those of us who live on dirt roads.
Get some sandy road grit in the braid and they chew themselves to pieces in a
