It will be the Fieldmaster with all electrical wireing and the second batterie. Front and rear lockers will be ordered as well for sure.
Regarding the colour I will probably take a red one with black roof. So I can alway see which one is mine :)
I wonder if anybody else likes the red metalic colour?

The engine is the hardest part. Till yesterday I thought I will take the petrol engine as the millage will not be to high. Otherwise I can use the car easier for long distances if it does not consume to much on the highway. So right now I think it will become a diesel.

Nevertheless there is no wrong decision with the engine in my opinion. Both are very good and have their own strengths. I will enjoy whatever I choose.

The red INEOS has chosen is a lovely shade IMO. I'm not normally a fan of red cars, but "Queens Red" is very nice

That's a very good statement, I agree: "Klagen auf äußert hohem Niveau" nennt man das wohl. ;-)

Welcome to the Forum ...

...und viele Grüße aus dem schönen Odenwald ?

BTW: Can you tell why they at blacklandy.eu completely removed the Grenadier thread? Had it become too threatening?

The Grenadier might have been „off topic“
?

"bemax" and "emax" - do I see a pattern here? (-; A very warm welcome, and greetings from Switzerland! ?

emax is far longer on this forum than i am. I did not know that there was an emax on this forum when i chose my name. It was quit a suprise to see his name after looking trough some posts...There is a "max" as well here, so it can get quite confusing for everybody...Nevertheless my Avatar shows the most beautiful red TD5. This is quite unique!

Parallaxe said:

As far as I am concerned: No.

My nick is an acronym to the honor of the emacs editor which I use as a software developer. My swiss-army-knife for developing, compiling, debugging, editing and for countless other things under linux. And for me, there is absolutely no higher decoration for a tool than "swiss-army-knife". Not kidding and not flattering on you.

I have been using this editor since 1992, and though I am learning something new about it really every single damn day, I have after 30 years(!) just scratched 5% of what it is capable to do. That deserves a tribute and hence my nick.

The comic tells a lot. It's however a hard-core-insider joke. ;-)

The photo is real beside the whitened number plate. No photoshop needed this beautiful evening!

That's nice to hear. And than you know what I mean ?

... and probably understand the comic ;-) .


BTW: I only use vi once on any new machine: to configure my emacs.

@bemax

When you sell the TD5, please let me know. Maybe I get unreasonable. Not kidding.
