...some serious mistakes that only a layman could make ... Karl, I'm not sure if only laypeople do this. I have often seen something like this in Eastern Europe. Self-made jacks, compressors with fire extinguishers as pressure bodies, widened open-end wrenches, self-forged tools, cars that consisted of three other cars, soldered-on filaments, self-cut gaskets, run-of-the-mill screws with recut threads, potato capacitors etc. etc. There are situations where the lack determines the direction. I'm thinking of roadside repairs on a winter night when driving home for Christmas, repairs in the village blacksmith shop in the 1950s, a godforsaken chicken farm in Alaska. Sometimes it's a time crunch, when you have the birthday presents in the trunk or a vacation trip after a hasty departure to a neighboring country with a poorly developed service network. While all of this is just mind games, one thing I know for sure is that real amateurs don't touch gearboxes (and if they did, a tow truck would be needed afterwards). But please don't get me wrong, dear Karl, I am a great admirer of your craftsmanship.

Really impressive images, especially for someone who only knows tornadoes from apocalyptic films. Do you have shelter in the basement?

... it looks like someone put “Skippy” in the gearbox ... Karl, with the practiced eye of a trained car mechanic, I'll tell you that Skippy is a slightly lighter shade. However, I also have to acknowledge that Nutella is darker. I therefore conclude that it could be a mixture.

This is, what you get, if you are in Europe -> geo-blocking. Presumably this was the reason for naming the video "The Dark Secrets of FDR’s 4th Presidential Term".

...But I did get a photo of the ornament/antenna I saw in the Nethercutt. Mal (Ozstatman), the top part appears to be cut off. But when I look at it, I understand even less these eternal cormorant/pelican/swan discussions. Even in the land of opportunity, swans don't wear horizontally striped sweaters.

...we had been up for over 36hrs so we were wiped out... 36 hours is a long time. Your sleep will then have been very deep and restful. The museum I like. The exhibits are not enclosed in sterile glass coffins. The proportion of European small cars is remarkably large. Among them I also recognize several vehicles from the 1950s and 1960s in Germany that are powered by two-stroke engines. People were much slimmer than they are today. Thank you very much for the photos.
