    Our goverment will reply this acting from trump in the same wise and increase import taxes on any US goods here also in the same high. But until now this are just statements from both sites.

    I have my second hand op today - it will set me back a bit, but after Trump's announcement of imposing 25% taxes on German goods, the restoration will be over anyway. We currently already have a 45% markup on the purchase price in the USA, another 25% increases the price by 70%. We can't bear...

    We must prepare us here for the next economy war. If Trump rise up importtaxes on germany industrieproducts will in return here the importtaxes also rise up on us products. That mean any part we need to import for our trucks will be more expensive

    This would work if the Torx Screw wasn't already worn out from former replacement in the Volvo Shop. Didnt expect that. A part of just 1 Euro. The Screws should come new with replacement.

    Now that we have solved the problem with the gearshift, we are in the process of completing the Sierra front axle. There is a hand operation pending and therefore heavy work that requires strength is not possible for the next 6 weeks. The heavy work on the Chevy is all done. After we were...

    Perfectly expressed, only the last sentence doesn't really make sense in German. What did you actually want to say with “How do you like the new transmission line?”<- my translation tool translates it this way. I suspect that my English is also a bit “bumpy” at times
