[s-cars] introduction and some beginner questions

[Dusten Tornow]

Folks - Thanks for all the welcomes and suggestions!

I'll pick up some Rotella synth 5w40 for my next oil change, and grab the alleged ETKA.  :)

Looking forward to being part of the list, and hopefully being able to contribute intelligently.

I got a really great deal on the S6 Avant I picked up, mostly because it had a misfire.  I did the Apikol 1.8T coil conversion last night, and resolved the problem.  Initial troubleshooting narrowed the problem down to one dead POS channel and an intermittent POS channel.  The name POS is certainly fitting.  Hopefully I get decent life out of the 1.8T coils, sounds like the "d" coils might not fry as often as the previous parts...

Thanks again!

We rented a C70 converto for a few weeks in Europe last summer.

Appalling and unexplainable massive turning radius.  Just horrific.
Particularly when trying to navigate parking in tight medieval European towns... Makes even the best driver look like a Florida retiree doing a 17 point turn.
