Hi Styria, I’m sorry to say I don’t like wearing anything on my feet without shoe laces :D That’s me on the right in the purple. This is what we got up to in very busy Tokyo traffic. Mario Karting, so much fun for a full 2 hours. The karts go up to 60kph, and stop on a dime.

Brian, I’ve had wifi the whole time at the 2 hotels we stayed at in Japan. So posted when I could. But most nights out entertaining customers. A very busy week. Here is a teaser of what we did through the very busy streets of down town Tokyo. Want to see more?

I like your way of thinking Brian. Stay they will.

Just wish I could get rid of the yellowing on the reverse light lenses :(

This is the 3rd lot of touch up paint I have got from them. One for my wife’s pepper white 2005 mini, again a perfect match. The second was a few weeks ago, which was the nautical blue (code 929) for the 560, which was spot on also. They even do spray cans. The bottle has a brush inside like...

Thanks for your help on this Bryce. I had some touch up paint made by Auoto Barn for the lower cladding on my 88 560, and the match is absolutely perfect. The coulour is 5944 Fregattblau (frigate Blue) which I would describe as battleship grey, no way would I say blue, but it is spot on...

A little while ago Motec showed us a low K 190E. This isn’t as lower k as that one, but it’s a very tidy 28 year old car, and not a bad price. This would be a great car for a young person on P’s to get them exposed to the wonderful world of classic cars, and would be something different than...

Well, there you go. Now I know what model the green race car from the Pixar movie Cars is :D [url=https://postimages.org/][/url

Gents, Can someone please let me know when my front electric fan should come on? I drove it during the super hot 40 degree days here a couple of weeks ago with the air on, and she started to get over the normal operating temp she always sits at, this is ok, lots of bumper to bumper traffic...

Nice looking 300SE https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/My-beautiful-1987-MERCEDES-BENZ-300SE-W126/392233667014?hash=item5b52f2c9c6:g:-ZcAAOSwZGJcXRLJ

That sure was a lovely 280 Motec.

Here is what looks like a nice 450SEL. I did chuckle to myself when I read the description. However something really wrong with the front bumper bars for sure. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1974-MERCEDES-BENZ-450SEL-W116-V8-AUTO-SEDAN-GREAT-CAR-/223370943430?oid=183647430188

Here is an interesting double. The good one seems quite good, the bad one weeeeeelllllllllll———- Zero bids, still at $5k for both...

Gents, Do you remember this lovely Icon Gold 450SEL that Michel posted? http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showpost.php?p=69942&postcount=208 Well, I asked the seller for some more images. His car got a few bids, but did not make reserve. The images show a really nice 459SEL...

This looks nice. Those intake vents are new to me. A real shame the person does not know how to turn their phone on it’s side to take a landscape shot. This ad could have looked a million bucks...

Bryce, I completely forgot about the factory plate. It shows 3/88 with an Australian complied 5/88 I will use the colour you provided based on build date for the trim colour. It also seems there was only 2 available. Light grey (almost silver) and dark grey.

Thanks guys, I’ll check for a date.

Bryce, thank you. That is terrific information. The only way I can see a month build is by the Aussie compliance plate, however that will differ to the actual build date. I can’t say I have seen any month & year dates on the car anywhere else. My tool kit has the addition of the sunroof...

Wow, ok. This is a bit of a mystery. I can’t wait to see what the Germans had in mind for this really offset ring spanner. The colour code for my lower trim is also a mystery. 2 panel beaters I use can not tell me either. I know my paint code is 929, I had touch up paint made by Auto Barn...

I’ll pop the bonnet and check tomorrow.
