Do you lean back and contemplate life's mysteries while going through
the starting sequence? Ponder the ironies of the glow system while
waiting for it to warm up? Perform gedunken (sp?) experiments regarding
the existential realities of idle adjustment? Then take a big toke of
diesel exhaust when the thing finally fires up and belches black smoke
all over the neighborhood?
Ahhh, the joys of Dieseling....

Good analogy Rich. I smoked a pipe for many years-now substitute my 240D
with jerry rigged manual GP switch and factory cold idle knob. Lots of
fiddling.

Carry your window squeegee to clean the bugs off the back glass.
I really think anyone who drives a 240D should also smoke a pipe. You
know the guys who spend 10 minutes organizing the thing to get it ready
to load and smoke, then take like 5 minutes to get it packed right, then
sit there and contemplate doing the bowl for another 10 or 15 minutes
before they are ready to do anything useful.
C'est non un pipe.
