Audi Coupe GM 2015
This year we continued the tradition and gathered again. The most loyal Audi Coupe club members arrived, a shame that our number isn't increasing... :(
Marius BMW E46 M3
I had a chance to make a video about a BMW M3 from a fellow auto enthusiast, who lives in UK. The owner and the BMW rode home to visit relatives, we made a short meet and I took a short video.
Fixing oil leaks
Oil leaks were noticed when going under the car from time to time. Times has come to fix them. So firstly the front-end was removed, noticed the snub mount rubber was shot too.

Behold the size
For about 500 hundred you can buy 4 gigs of DDR3 ram, a motherboard and a two core Intel processor. Being used to bigger makes me smile while seeing this combination :)
BTW next is a Nexus 4 phone :)
In dust we trust
Haven't seen this much dust in such a place (below the CPU heatsink). I think if the CPU was from AMD it would have said goodbye already.
I cleaned all the dust but the PC still wasn't working. I suspect the motherboard is at fault.
