Oh, I did my very best here with descriptive words and almost absent food knowledge. 😅

Apparently I'm on strike from tomorrow. So I'm doing picket duty for 6 hours a day the rest of the week. My own views about the strike and the reasons behind it are irrelevant, as I'm a member of a union and they're on strike. But it's legitimate to not be thrilled about this.

My project for this spring, hopefully they'll be ready for the season. 😀 18" AC Schnitzer Type 2 Racing wheels. Restored and remade to 8.5 and 9.5" width, which was the option for the E39. Looking forward to seeing them on the car. #BMWE39 #E39 #ACSCHNITZER #535i

It's now mid-April, but this year the 535i will stay in winter storage a little longer than usual. The last years I've used it for a vacation to Denmark the first weekend of May, but this year we'll use the F10. The plan is to do the timing chains this year, and maybe (cont.) #BMWE39 #E39 #535i

😅 I thought V12 diesel was good enough. 😅 Fact is, I don't really know much about them. It's a Caterpillar engine, but Cargo Net lease these locomotives. So except from full Dual Mode operation, it's hard to find any specs, as they're modular and very customizable upon operator specifications.

That was such a disappointment. 😥 But it was my own fault, I didn't read the description good enough. "Language: French". Despite being sold by an eBay store in the UK. But.. 5 minutes after opening it, my English copy was ordered. 😀

Last week, I drove the 535i up to its winter storage location, and on the way up there, I took the back roads. And along these roads I know that there are some good scenery. And that day, with the skies and the background, I took what I believe to be the best picture I've ever taken of the 535i.

A BMW E39 parked on a field, with hills and partly lit up clouds in the background.

plus he held a grudge against Dyatlov. Btw, the jumping fuel rod caps didn't happen either. I've never understood how that could be true. And that also seems to be a "good story" from his book. Perevozchenko could *not* see this and then make it back to Control Room 4 before the reactor blew up. 😬

Yes! I read up on it today, actually, and was a little surprised. It seems like it took up to the E-model before the plane was fully capable and effective. It seems like shortages of engines also was a factor.
