This time I am using wireless headphones, so I am catching up almost all dialogue.With the good acoustics it turns out those Ausies actually pronounce some words... not just make noises.

I think mine finally threw the Crank Shaft up... hard Knock ,shaking. contemplating a replacemnt but hard to think of what can out-do it and still be a regular day-to-day work horse...
of a 1988 M5 vs. 2010 323 and guess what? The 323 just under cuts it in all parameters! They just keep getting better and better for less money.

What's next? Length not important?
More ponies come out of less cubes these days thanks to metallurgy, turbos, and insane compression ratios.

Turbos are no substitute for cubic inches... nothing really is.

Chrome plating is big thing in race guns these days. I wonder why... :) But not polished.

for reliability. Sad, but true.

the car I have was built on December 13,1994. I am nostalgic I guess but like the Torquie thrust of the M60B40 which was awarded Best Engine when it was introduced.I've actually been able to drive it and the metal rapping I heard at first hasn't been audible but it still shakes hard,the engine exhibits a pretty hard vibration.. Its been too cold to inspect the spark plugs and test Ignition Coil packs to see if maybe I have a misfiring cyl ,maybe a dead Fuel Injector combined with a failed engine mount resulting in extreme shaking.. maybe wishful thinking but It'll rev up to Red-line and sounds steady for the most part and I guess if there were major bearing failures as I first feared it would have 'exploded' when holding at 6,000 RPM.
I wonder if shaking from a broken motor mount could cause jumping in the Timing Chains or other internals making it run rough at idle and lower rpms . I still wouldn't say it ran smooth at 6K but the fact it was able to make it there and hold for a few seconds has me slightly less pessimistic.
that said I still have been looking for another 540 6 speed manual of the older series'
I don't have any WAF to consider..

the turbo available.
The best interiors, by far. Best combination of handling and performance, too. And... if you live where snow and ice are a factor, the AWD is fantastic.
91000 miles, and outside of somewhat loose suspension and misbehaving power seat it is running wonderfully! You used to have a green one, right? This is newer?
Keep the Merkavas rolling! :)
processing I did makes it look Black..
Well that's good to hear . there appear to be many more of them available than the '95 I have. It was getting pretty harsh driving actually with the sport suspension from Bilstein and 17 inch wheels the nasty New England roads are just brutal. Maybe time to get soemthing more comfortable.. thanks. btw it just rolled 380,000 miles this week. :(
You can always soften the suspension, 17 inchers should not be all that harsh, really.
maybe the extra resistance over roads which are from the Stone Age can be Jarring.I have had a few people shout and give thumbs up and I met a man at a Starbucks who told me he noticed the plate and asked what it meant. When i said it was Hebrew for Chariot he said he works with a charity in Israel which takes Israeli children around to Army Installations on Field Trips to familiarize them with the idea of Army Life so when their compulsory service comes around they might be better ready to take it up and that he had been taken for a ride in a Merkava IV.

Wow.
...with 18" wheels, you just need to get used to it. You can try somewhat softer tires, perhaps.

roaring up a long, curving inclined highway at 90+ miles per hour.
Even the environment the film inhabits becomes a perfect cast member and character.

understand are the Boers.....
From memory I was not impressed at all with the TRL, but based on recent praise here included it in my late night boys viewing list...
What a mistake... especially right after a great film! Photographers know you never put an older model next to a younger one... this nearness made the TRL look decidedly awful, stupid even... ah... and soooo very American I can't even express... in the worst sense of the word. Two different world - one of the piercing precision and insight, and the other of cliches and "stars". I generally respect Travolta, but he looked like a clown in that general's uniform.
To me TRL was a study in fear, principles, and desire for freedom. It was a poem of war. I pull it off the shelf about once a year and still squirm at the length of it but I feel "I get it".

I too sometimes get confused here with such abbreviations.
Travolta being a one note cardboard cutout who occasionally stumbles into something...okay.

narration was the first hint of his status.
