I assume this is sarcasm great since "auspumpen" would be a German verb and your spelling of "Östfalia" describes a place that doesn't exist, I assume you mean the other oriental portion of Westphalia?

The T is for Tom.

Nothing fancy folks.

At my age I need to stick with something I can remember!

My favorite jobs have always been diagnosing Malfunction Indicator Lights. Check Engine, ASR/ABS, SRS, Tele-Aid, TPC, whatever. I sometimes half-joke that I made fifteen years of mortgage payments diagnosing and repairing various MIL's. I know the DIY crowd probably doesn't agree, but ILUVMILS!!!

Both myself and a friend of mine used to drive old Ford E-150 vans. We were really into faster cars like a Mustang GT, but couldnt afford them. We still can't. We used to race each other all the time, so I dubbed my van the E150GT. Too bad I always lost as I had a FI'd 6 cylinder vs his carbureted 351.
