Of the 12 futurliners built, 8 exist, and one is getting restored in Sweden, here is a dedicated website to it's 4 year, 10 million dollar, resto

the website is in Swedish, but no problem from Google to translate to your language, just switch to Google Chrome for a web browser, and put http://www.classicmotor.se/futurliner/ in the address bar, and once the page loads... the browser will pop up a small bar at the top of the page and ask you if you want it translated. Simple. I recommend switching to Google Chrome, because lately Windows has not worked at translating for me

What Happens in Vegas Should Stay in Vegas

Bigger hammer theory in practice, the building of Trabant cars in the 1980's



Skip the first 22 seconds, it's boring, after that they get to hammering for proper fitment

If you haven't heard of the bigger hammer theory, you aren't a submariner or a mechanic. The theory is this; if it doesn't work, hit it with a hammer (known in scientific circles as mechanical agitation (thank you XO Joachim) ) if it doesn't work after hitting it with a hammer, hit it with a bigger hammer. If it still doesn't work, replace it... it's broke.
