  1. https://boingboing.net/2017/04/18/guy-turns-a-double-decker-bus.html
  2. Roundabouts a very common over here. They're good up to some specific load of traffic where there's virtually no wait time and you can merge right away. For heavier load you'll need traffic lights and/or multi-level intersections. Unregulated same level intersection is only good for very light traffic. There are differences in roundabout rules in Europe - most countries work by right hand rule but in Estonia the car on the roundabout has the right of way.
  3. The tilt feature is probably designed to work in hatchbacks and sedans. It's almost impossible to clear a "wall" of the size of the van without some extra mechanism. Then again, it's quite easy to remove the bike.
  4. EcoBoost won't help you being dumb. He was dumb as a bag of hammers.
  5. Heh, embarrassed to have been part of one of those moderation instances Thanks for your good company and good luck with everything.
  6. Just saw this pin board: https://www.pinterest.com/richhand/ford-transit-connect-transformations/
  7. I loved my 2006 van and like my 2012 wagon a lot. The only shortcomings I see is the "truckish" feel compared to the new body. Also missing cruise control and some weak bits such as wheel bearings, rear brakes and steering rack. Both generations look the best of vans. Haven't driven the gasoline automatic so don't know about that.
  8. What a crowd here =)
  9. What's wrong with the Jetta? You're giving up a perfectly good and economical automobile just because of politics?
  10. It'll be tight with a rigid bulkhead. Been there, done that. Open cabin or a cage with a door behind the passenger seat is good for that.
  11. Hmm, you have temperature display in the cluster screen top row. Want.
  12. Plenty of cheap car storage organizers available without the need of expensive and bulky overhead bins.
  13. You might want to remove the original screws and replace them with push rivets if it helps anything. Perhaps easier to remove at an angle.
  14. There was a thread with pinout somewhere here.
  15. Stick your fingers in the rail crack and pull the door away from the body while yanking the handle.
  16. Right, this forum does not support image links not ending with the file extension. Google only shares with no extension nowdays.
  17. Don may be onto something. Perhaps there's something in the barrel preventing the correct seating.
  18. You don't need to mess with the 3.5 mm cables. Get a cheap Bluetooth audio/handsfree adapter, plug it in the AUX port and you'll have wireless music and other audio in the car. I bought three of these, use them everywhere I used to need cables: https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Bluetooth-Receiver-Adapter-Hands-free/dp/B00O8FYUJA
  19. Mine's even less useful as it's a 3seater and the compartment is under the seat and I usually have the center seat back folded down for a desk-armrest. So accessing the compartment means two moves. Luckily there's an aux 12V on the dash top tray and audio goes through BT.
