I used one from old A4LDe from V6 Scorpio and it's much better. One or two teeth are still missing to accurate reading, but it's not important now.

Yes, it is. This photo was taken after US cars meeting in spoogebice (first big meeting in this year). We were returning to Brno and GPS led us through the country. It preferes narrow roads with tons of curves and beautiful views. I really don't know why, but it does it sometimes. We went in three cars - 86 Bird, 78 Olds Delta Diesel and 2010 V6 Stang. Here is the picture.

PS: American cars are still quite rare here, so lots of people like to see them next to standard german, french and asian production.

My trackball works well. It has 5 year warranty, so I hope it will work great for long time :)

Thanks for mentioning it, I had no idea consumer electronics these days had such a warranty. My new mouse is on the way, no receipts or returning mine needed.  :D

Thanks nice video. I'm guessing from the activity at 3:02 that marijuana is legal over there?

I think it isn't marijuana, it's normal water pipe with tobacco.

This meeting was one of the biggest in the season.

Yesterday, we had our small Friday Night Ride* and I took this photo of my bird :)

Here is the gallery from yesterday's ride.


*These are small local meetings typicaly every second friday from april to october. Sometimes it's beeing substitued with Saturday Reuninons, which are bigger and we go out of city.

Thanks. I did a lot of progress this and last year. I polished whole car before trip to spoogebice. It looks really nice now.

I have one question. What's your avarage fuel consumption out of city (but not on highway)? I can't go lower, than 13 l/100 km (18 MPG). Few years ago I had less than 10 l/100km (23,5 MPG) on long track. I think I'm driving easy. Car is obviously fully loaded (3 or 4 people + lugage). Is this normal, or should I inspect the engine?

That SRT truck is really hell on earth. It doesn't have any electronic gremlins like ASR, ESP,...

And the last thing. Someone wrote the letter to Ford and they sent him all infos about his car.  It was about year or two ago. Is someone able to do this for me? European Ford dealers aren't. I can send VIN through PM.
