Heute Mittag ging es los Richtung Wien. Nach einem kurzen Stopp beim Supermarkt unseres Vertrauens roch es plötzlich leicht brandig im Auto. Unsere hochprofessionell verkabelte Kühlschrankkühlung hatte wohl nen Kurzen😁.Read more

Horst... unterum
August 1, 2022 in Slovakia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Somewhere, somehow we lost one of the brackets holding the exhaust but a spontaneous visit to a repair shop had that welded.
root cause... we are way too low because of way too much shit we took along with us. so spontaneous visit to an off road shop which pointed us to a junkyard after taking a look at horst.
so we did and it was fun to dumpster dive and by chance we found a spring which looked good but was cracked. now we need to get some springs for the back axle of a bmw x3 2010-2017. anbody knows somebody who knows somebody? ;-)

and btw... we have been driving with 3d printed spacers in out rear springs for 5 days now and they work perfectly. we never thought that 3d printed parts survive the worst of punishment without issues.Read more

... cause there is not that much more to look at. the east of poland is a little void of points of interest which fits to us still having some 1000kms to get to the ignalina nuclear power plant as the next check point.

only highlights of the day:
- milchreis breakfast with fresh fruit
- it took us only 6 attempts to find a place for lunch
- our second 4wd car in the convoy blew the rear suspensionRead more
