    Electric Water Pump?

    The main benefit of an electric water pump for our cars in my eyes is the ability to keep it running for a few minutes after engine shutdown, so the coolant keeps circulating and cooling the cylinder head. The coolant getting too hot after shutdown seems to be one of the major reasons for...

    Hirschmann Antenna? Has anyone used it?

    A couple of guys on the Geman Supra forum are using the Hirschmann antenna (probably the same model as you have?) and seem to be pretty satisfied with it.

    Where did the Mk 2 & 3 get their styling?

    *raises hand* :D Sometimes I smile at them anyway for having a nice old car / MKIII lookalike, lol. There are much more 8 series over here than MKIIIs. And who else here was like "no it can't be a MKIII, probably just another 8 series beemer", then realizing it actually WAS a MKIII? :D

    Don't hassle the Hoff.

    Yeah, I think Germans were the biggest 'Hoff fans for some reason, even back in the early 90s... :3d_frown: And I agree with Joe on the first video... the others weren't that funny, just a little weird.

    Who has the most miles on their odometer?

    Wow, you guys are driving around a lot... must be due to the low gas prices :D My '82 MKII has 84k miles / 135k kms, my '92 MKIII about 105k miles / 170k kms.

    How are these people running our country?

    Haha, when I saw the thread title, I already wondered how long it would take you to chime in ;) But your statement was rather disappointing, I was hoping for something more profound. 1. As D34DC311 stated, net neutrality doesn't have anything to do with free internet access. 2. Even if it...

    Something new to bicker about...engine or motor?

    In English I say "engine" most of the time (got used to it here on the forums), in German there is no such thing, only "motor" for both combustion and non-combustion engines/motors. The German equivalent to "engine" is usually only used for aircrafts, as in "jet engine" (just for the record...

    Did you evolve?

    Sorry, I'm afraid I lost you there... just to clarify, I started learning English at the age of 12, and I don't think I ever mentioned something like that before. Doesn't matter anyway.
