German engineers - what are they thinking?
« on: March 25, 2015, 05:13:19 pm »
Did the German VW engineers think folks who worked on their cars all had hands the size of infants?

Here's a thread to list your favorite things where you wish you had toddler hands

I'll start:

Front carb nut
Reverse light switch on tranny
Clutch adjustment nut
Any fuse anywhere
Steering damper nut
Any C clip on door pin or speedometer cable
plastic shift coupler clip in tunnel near shifter

This is why John keeps me around. I get to do all the tight spots where his big paws can't reach. Sometimes it is good to be built like a 12 year old.

There are two things in ordinary conversation which ordinary people dislike - information and wit.

It\'s not a car, it\'s not a van, its a BUS!
