I hope everyone had time to do some home improvement projects this weekend.

When my neighbors were building their house, the husband wanted to do this before the drywall was put up but his wife stopped him.

Someone's been to Heidelberg

Are they working to restore it? seem some work on the right.

 

[day_trippr]

Considering the palace has been in ruins for ~350 years now it's more about "keeping what's left up-right" than "restore".

Such a magnificent work - and it wasn't even "finished" (if there is such a thing with palaces).
I visited the ruins in 1981 while in the area on business and the history would lead one to believe it was cursed just from all the lightning strikes alone...

Do yourself a favor and take the train to the top and walk all the way down.

They put in the effort to remove the door only to find a brick infill.

It is a firefighter training facility. The writing on the door is roughly (very) translated to "machinery not stable!"

Typical habitat for a BMW. I say that as a bimmerphile; currently working on pulling the head for rebuilding . . . 218k miles:

So, brewing isn't expensive enough? My dad had a 328i. At 13k miles it needed a new water pump, seals to match and a battery.
I coin it as, if you want to buy a $50k car, buy a $27k BMW.

A)Is that the WWE logo?
B)this had to come off of 4chan, because it's offensive and stupid.

No, no ... please say it ain't so.

Haha, Big Money Waste, Bring My Wallet, Burn My Wealth, etc etc is accurate. Ive bought all of mine used, luckily I do my own maintenance, so that really help to keep costs down. Parts on these old BMWs are getting quite expensive and sometimes quite hard to source. The water pump on my 91 M5 went poof at 25k miles, but BMW produced the impeller in plastic.

s38?

Yes, that is a S38B36 in my 91 M5. I have a few VAC internals in the engine and run a D'Sylva chip, current output is 357 bhp @7100RPM. Its going back to VAC for a head rebuild (its got 150k miles on previous), so Im hoping to get a few more ponies out to 380hp range with a few other modifications. I also have an 88 M5 with the S38B35:

Beautiful! E28 M5s are amazing vehicles, and the E34 only improved on them. Excellent taste in beamers!
That B36 sounds like a beast. Both of those are on my short list...
Cheers!

Fivers went down the toidy with the E39...

Thanks. The E28 was my first M and also the only car Ive owned that has appreciated. Its not as fast as the E34 M5, but it is more fun to drive. People rarely know what either of those cars are, someone once accused me of putting a M5 badge on an old BMW Next car on the list is an E24 M6 and if I can't find one in Royal Blue on black interior, Ill just find a 633/635 and make my own M6 clone. Ill shove a S38B38 with 390bhp@6900 or a blown M50.

I think if there is a series that has plummeted, it is the 7er. E38 was the high-water mark and Bangle seriously styled the E65 like ass and BMW engineered it to break in seconds after delivery. What a total piece. The only BMW more unreliable is the E63/E64 6 from the mid 2000s.

lol - indeed, the rear end was a tragic execution by all accounts.
Irony. It's everywhere...

DON'T use a real candle in your jack-o-lantern
