A few weeks ago I joined this forum as a new phaEton owner. Last night was the first local car show in our area and decided to take the car out.

The car was a hit as I expected. As we left, it became clear that the headlights draw to much power for the master kill switch installed by the previous owner. We blew a fuse that left us dead in the water at the main entrance in front of everyone. After a few tense moments, I realized the problem, got a new fuse and off we went.

Today I decided to take my bride for an Easter drive to a local park.....about a five mile round trip. The park was full and everyone stopped what they were doing to watch am old car go by.

Everything was fine except for the last mile. The car started losing power until I advanced the spark. The car seemed to run better but the idle was up more than expected.

We made it back safely and the wife was actually having a good time.

Here is a couple photos of the car. Please don't judge to harshly. It'll come around eventually.
