batteries

Posted on January 28, 2016 by admin | Posted in truck @en, usa @en

Although it was foreseeable it´s also the realities are on such a journey: the cabins batteries were down and had to be replaced. Here are even chinese manufactored batteries in inch measuremens and they didt fit into our metric, european battery compartment. Our friend andrew atwood (atwood european) managed remedy, welded an expansion on the compartment and helped to connect the new, heavy and with 500 ah hopefully adequately sized batteries. Of course, the binding posts wre not identical as well!

at first glance it looks like relaxing, in reality it´s organizing and preparing my first co_works exhibition in america (of which i’ll soon report more) and what at first glance looks like a waterway is in reality the increase of the water level (due to havy rainfalls) of lake pleasant reservoir near phoenix .

klassik garage kronberg / germany

Posted on November 29, 2015 by admin | Posted in germany @en, others @en

It looks like this when big boys can realize their childhood dreams. Klaus flettner is not just collecting oldtimers, they often get rebuild from totally rusted carbodies.

There is a workshop (klassik garage kronberg) to restore those babies and even the vehicles of other oldtimer enthusiasts get well maintained there.

Why do I post this? Now, i do know klaus for many years and his passion for classic cars remembers me to andrew atwood in phoenix, who had restored his „tailfin“ with passion for about 7 years and had given it a new life. Some weeks ago i had taken photos of his „tailfin“ in the desert of arizona which will be published in the mercedes benz star magazine of america very soon. And of course here on my blog. Stay tuned….
