Oh, to have the energy!

This is Rob Stuart’s (“Mr. Austin”) amazing collection, which is located in Fresno. I’ve known Rob for years, never met in person nor seen the collection, but as an Austin man, it gets my heart a thum

Well, I have changed my passwords, for all the good it may do. I kinda feel like I've been spreading the clap or something. Hope no one else gets infected, regardless of where it's coming form! Byron

Wishing Arcaners of all stripes a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Arcane New Year! May the Joy of the Season be with each of you! Byron and Mara Brill Santa Ynez, CA

Yipes! Many moons ago we had a Mercedes M320, the small suv. I never really bonded with that car, but must say it passed this same test at about 60 mph going uphill around a bend in the dark when a de

My brother has a place in Montana and in 2019 bought and registered his new pickup there. A CHP pulled him over in CA shortly after he brought it back here to CA and cited him for having an out of sta

I just don’t want to be around when he gets upset! But we have our own version… Byron

I suspected the regulator might be involved, but admit to not fully understanding exactly how. The first couple of times this happened, the engine continued to run (not Diesel) when the battery was di

Thanks for the responses, guys. I’ll give it a go, Matt, and see what happens. No diodes or alternator, just the ol’ dynamo. Different Austin, Lou, but you’re on the right track. I’ll do my best not t

One of my Austins has decided it doesn’t want to go to sleep. Turn off the ignition and all systems still have power and the engine continues to run (it is NOT dieseling). This one, unfortunately, has
