The stuff in the bottle is Slivovitz and it usually made in the balkans, like serbia. Boaters love to drink that stuff, I take it that was the Ukranian girls choice or one of her friends? I know this because my dad loves that stuff along with every other foreigner that comes to our restaurant. I think its made with Plums which is what a Sliva is in serbian. I might be off on the translation of that though because im not good with serbian to english translations.

Yeh, I'm not in love with it either...

Also, my camera sux for that.

Why is that? It's a Kodak P850 which has a lot of cool manual features.
The pic of Hearst Castle is from the visitor center back patio!
After it exceeds it's 12x optical limit it goes to digital zoom, so thats why thats a little grainy, it's at like 25X zoom! Granted an SLR would be nicer, but this thing takes pretty good pics and gives me a lot of creative room (ie manual settings) + the automatic features too, and it has a viewfinder.

Some other people brought it who were in full Bavarian garb.
Try pronouncing Slivovitz 5 times fast after a few shots.

This pic is unrelated to anything recent, but from about 6 months ago, when I replaced my bumper.
FYI- Misfire Update- Replaced the coil pack with a spare used one I had laying around, and everything is running great now! Damn those things!
It had been acting up for some time, causing misfires, and backfires, but aparently not enough to throw a check engine light! And this was one that was replaced a couple years ago, only had 50K miles on it.
The only thing I wonder is when you look them up at Beru's site, they say to use some sort of conductive grease at the tips. But the pn they list is invalid. So, they are running dry.
BTW- This is the totally WRONG way to remove a bumper.
I found out after (when the service DVD arrived) that you unbolt it from the trunk, and remove a few other little screws and clips and the whole thing slides off. Hence I didn't post a DIY 'cause I did it completely wrong on the removal. Didn't have enough hands on the return trip to get any pics, but it was all bolted up and slid right on.

Dang those misfires. Good to read you have gotten them squared away.
Try some Permatex dielectric paste next time. http://www.permatex.com/products/aut...ric_Grease.htm
I know you have seen it at the local McParts -
It reduces corrosion, particularly in our coastal climes. Aids disassembly too, so the job will be easier on subsequent R&R’s.
C230 Sport Coup, you’ve got cool it with the hotties… I assured the Mrs. I’m only here for the tech. LOL!

I looked for that stuff at Kragens the other day, they had it, but only a very small tube. At the time I was having issues with my cat,
I also discovered that I had not torqued the plugs suficiently,
nor had I torqued the coil packs sufficiently.
The plugs were OK, but I tightened them down.
One of the coil packs had loosened and was making intermittant contact with the plug. This might have had something to do with the cat going bad, though it had 110K miles on it.
Anyway, I'm going to get this stuff and experiment, put the bad coil pack in and see if it acts any different with this stuff in there.
Lastly, if you can't take the heat (of the hotties), here's something that should still get you hot, but not get you in trouble with your wife.
Laguna Seca, historic races, Ferrari honored marque, group photo,
2004. Largest group of racing Ferrari's in one place at one time ever.

If that scene doesn’t get the juices flowing, a ban is in order. No Cialis necessary.
I was there when Ferrari was the honored marque, and when Ford was celebrating its 100th anniversary, among others. I always endeavor to take August off, but it didn’t happen this year. Can’t hardly get enough of the gents who exercise their irreplaceable machines as intended. Good times!

OK, this might be a little off topic, but I don't want to post in the OT forum since I only know you bunch of jokers.
This is whats called a "Luge"...a couple small groves are cut into a large slab of ice. One person stand at the top and pours shots down, which are caught by people at the bottom....and yes, thats me pouring and one catching a shot of Goldschlagger...I got a ride home and rode by bike back the next day, BTW. That stuff in the bottle on the left was the nastiest stuff I've ever tasted, some kind of pure alchohol distillate from Bulgaria or something, but people drank it!
Hot luge babes!
