I can imagine Boris trying to work out if that's an insult or a compliment

In the second photo I see your wife looking away, hands on hips…..I would guess she is thinking, “ More Junk to put in the garage.”

women don’t usually understand the difference between junk and treasure or indeed the difference between need and don’t need.

My wife understands that this trailer will still work for the benefit of our family))))

Ah, I see.

I will try that one when I bring up the small requirement that I need an RS6 for the family, see how that goes.

Indeed, but it could be called a ‘Family Estate’ to the unenlightened.

Hello comrades!
The weekend turned out to be hot, about +30 - +32 degrees Celsius. And when the already cold water in the pool does not help, I go to a cool garage to cut off a thread or weld something on a tractor.Decided to continue the torment of the left side. (with horror I remember last year and the right side).
I cut the outer arch, looked at the results of the repairs of the previous owner .. A lot of putty .... a lot of putty ... I would say 80% of the rear left arch consists of putty.
In general, I got to live, native, Japanese metal))But the joy ended when I saw the inside of the rear arch ..... Rot, through holes ...
I cut out for about 4 hours, sometimes cried, then cut out all the rot again.
As a result, it turned out to restore the inner part of the rear left arch..
Covered with primer and bituminous mastic ..
