So sorry to hear Dave!!! I hope things got better for you shortly afterwards? It's been a long time since you were here (10 years) and we would love to stay in touch.

So anyone know what happened to Dave and his amazing car?? Looks like he was living down Colac way (VIC).

Does anyone have a copy of the mag mentioned at the start of this thread?

I know Nick very well & he loves his car! Using the wrong oil with no zinc is apparently the cause along with no oil changes for an extended period.

Speed & load rating, plus unique size. Of course you could replace the wheels with a larger diameter & more tyre choices. This option is likely to be cheaper too. Wider tyres will perform better if you stick with a quality brand. However the originality of the car will be affected, which will...

The 215/70R14 Michelins are now $850ea. 😬😱 Apparently made specifically for the 6.9

And in other tyre news…. Strange Continental are laying off so many since I’ve noticed far more of their tyres are being fitted to lots of new cars. Even my Territory has them fitted. Golf ball tech is an interesting development!

Sounds like some models of the new Porsche Panamera have active hydro which is apparently quite an experience!! ♥️

Oh your old 420 was stripped of the interior & other smaller items I needed before being sent to the wreckers unfortunately. Sad, but it provided parts for Midnight Express which is a 220kW 560SEL in black/black, so the sacrifice was worth the effort. I would normally save the doors, but in that...

My main issues have been far too many projects & getting way too far ahead of myself so I couldn’t focus on actual progress. I will keep plugging along to get this one operational then if things go to plan I’ll have some serious bucks to throw at it & get it to a condition that I’ll enjoy. If I...

Pity the way things have turned out! Seems like they were on a winner with active hydro…

Here’s a rare (?) one for sale! https://www.facebook.com/share/1EkpeBXPe4/?mibextid=wwXIfr
