I'm not much a gear head, but this one got my interest! Strongly prefer the first of the hooks, it's definitely punchier IMHO. I can't read German but I can make out enough of it to GF the hook. Length, new, etc all good to go. Everything else in the article excels, and the image is fantastic too (although there are several others perhaps even better). Perfect for the lead.
