    Patrick's W220 S430

    Ah, the Kubota gets the attention an analogue machine should get. We anticipate photos of the Kubota and the Toyota by 11.01am Wednesday...... possible?

    We are awaiting confirmation that Ant has taken delivery of his white stallion so maybe he can change his mind for the Cadillac....

    Patrick's W220 S430

    "I have the Pilates covered my way now, the climb up into the seat of the Kubota balances with the bend down into the GR." Superb logic.

    Patrick's W220 S430

    You live only once. My advice is if the heart says yes then do it. Go forth and enjoy. Who cares if ingress/egress is a little difficult; all those Pilates classes you are doing will soon pay off and you'll be bounding in and out like gazelle in spring. (y)

    My Estate has the AMG logo on the carpet mats but that does not make it an AMG. Buyer beware. Regards, Brian

    Patrick's W220 S430

    Whichever way you go look for evidence of regular transmission fluid changes. The old claim of "sealed for life" was a nonsense to begin with and eventually admitted quietly by MB to clients who serviced their vehicles at authorised dealers. That is, a client would be quietly advised to have the...

    Patrick's W220 S430

    I am not totally convinced the 7 speed is a huge improvement in reliability - although it is certainly smooth and has a better choice of ratios. MB set up a special facility in Germany to recondition and then crate 7 speed boxes for use by dealers when problems in the 7 speed boxes arose in the...

    1959 Rover P4 75

    Hello Mr OP, what was the comparison site you used? I have used Carbibles in the past for such comparisons but that site has now closed. I recently put Vitour on the Silver Shadow (now that will have Patrick prick up his ears!) and they seem OK so far. Regards, Brian

    LED Headlamp for working

    Oh Sean - you are right on the money here. Contact lenses+glasses+a very strong light=happiness! At least I still have a steady hand! Patrick - I tried the cheaper ones and they were good but the Ledlenser is so much better that it was a no-brainer. The next time there is a blackout I can put on...

    LED Headlamp for working

    It's been my intention to buy one for ages and I finally did so. https://ledlenser.com.au/collections/headlamps/products/h7r-core How did I manage beforehand? This is just amazingly adjustable to get just the right light in the exact spot for: digging around in the engine bay, adjusting the...

    It looks like you have built a proper enthusiast's car - something MB could have done in the first place. Nice job. Regards, Brian

    Car (UK) September 1977 - 450SEL 6.9 vs Daimler Double-Six vs Silver Shadow II vs Cadillac Seville

    Two observations: 1. The photos certainly show the difference between under and over steer. 2. A far more interesting and comprehensive report than the modern equivalent. Regards, Brian

    Patricks Trucks

    Patrick - how would such a truck go on a Sydney to Melbourne haul? For example, where would it recharge?

    What a bugger! However, you are going to end up with a solid and desirable car. Good luck. Regards, Brian

    Car of the week

    Similarly the antiques, fine arts and decorative arts auction prices have collapsed - except for specialized and rare items that have increased significantly in price. We are running a multi-speed economy at the moment and the Reserve Bank increases in interest rates have cut discretionary...
