The Left-Handed Spanner: Aquatic Car Quiz
The Left-Handed Spanner, by Kaibeezy. Never thought I’d go on a cruise, except maybe the HMS Prog. As a proto-hipster (old), East Coast liberal intellectual elitist (snob), who does software things for a living (nerd, geek) and art for fun (artiste; artsy-fartsy), but who nonetheless appreciates 5.7 liter V8 wagons (Roadmaster), Texas barbeque (brisket), ice cold […]
The Left-Handed Spanner: Flesh Wounds
The Left-Handed Spanner by Kaibeezy. I was away last week on business, which is not unusual, except this time I left just as we were getting started with a substantial renovation of our downstairs loo (bathroom) and utility room. When I left, we had agreement on the work to be done, which was fairly modest […]
Wurst, Cars: My blitz through the BMW Museum
Wurst, Cars: My blitz through the BMW Museum – by Kaibeezy. Last week I spent, um… yeesh, about 20 hours in transit for a 3 hour meeting in Munich. By the time you add up the 3-hours it should have taken to get to Edinburgh, then the extra couple of hours it *did* take due […]

A special feature by Kaibeezy: The Left-Handed Spanner: Bulbs, balls, blips, dips, sauces =========== So (yes, I millennialed the start of a story; but it was originally written as an ear-haired old email, not an InstaSnap or whatever, so…), I finally got around to changing the headlight bulb in the Xantia on account of it […]
The Left-Handed Spanner: Whence KBZ Serves Ice Cold Revenge on a Toyota Beancounter
The Left-Handed Spanner, by Kaibeezy: Remember the “Swagger Wagon”? Way back in 2012, Toyota dropped this slammin’ vid featuring painfully hip folk swaggerin’ about their wagon. I cringed a bit more than the rest of you, as we had bought one of these Sienna SE minivans just a few months before. Now, when *I* bought […]
Coffee Brake: Return of the Left Handed Spanner
The Left-Handed Spanner is a special feature column written by DT contributor Kaibeezy. Yesterday, I cooked up a pot of British greens (close as I can get to collards) on an induction hotplate I had picked up to pinch hit while we’re waiting for our new cooker (stove) to be connected. You are probably aware these create […]
The Left-Handed Spanner: I’ve Seen Things You People Wouldn’t Believe
Last week’s Exo-Contour post included a photo with a tantalizing secret. No, not the alluring dentist’s wife (or perhaps she is the dentist), I’m talking about the sliver of chrome and headlight barely visible to the right of the 356. The Left-Handed Spanner is a special feature column written by DT contributor Kaibeezy. What have […]
Left Handed Spanner: Two Strokes, One Heart
Did anyone notice the odd engine at the right-handed corner of the header up there ^^^ ? Anyone know what it is? Or can you figure it out? Heck, it might even be famous and I’m late to the party. The story is that I had an unexpected opportunity to visit the redacted museum last […]
