Obviously, beauty as well as ugliness for that matter, are in the eyes of the beholder. Get yourself into this line-up, it's worth it within reason. It features my ugliest car I have ever seen (remember the Stavic !), but also they are having a lash at the C-Class. I disagree with them regarding...

Over a period of years, reference has been made to groaning and creaking noises emanating from the steering box/inner guard mounting area. I don't think that anyone has ever really been able to offer an explanation for this phenomen, let alone found a solution. Invariably the steering box is...

I have two engine mounts to suit the Ch. 109 6.3 engine. They are in excellent condition (almost new) and they need a good home. New replacement cost - somewhere in the $1.5K. region - looking for $600.00 or near enough offer. Please contact me on 0428 50 1800. Regards Styria

For some reason, leather upholstered 116 seats, that's front and rear, suffer from a bad case of pleat collapse but, in addition, 6.9 rear seats can completely collapse. Terrible to look at, even worse to sit on. First picture illustrates the very common problem of calico separation from the...

Our cars after forty to forty five years, no matter how good a condition the interior may present, can be badly in need of a make-over. Seats, carpets etc. come to mind readily, but also consider refurbishing of timber embellishments and many other items. This segment applies to cars that...

I usually go GA GA when looking at trucks, locos, ships and planes. Probably fifteen months ago, I went to Sydney Motorsport Park and marvelled at some of the absolutely beautiful monster trucks - the ones that carry the race cars and all of the teams' equipment. One particular make of truck I...

Have quite an extensive library of various items of literature, such as "in Aller Welt" as well as items as shown hereunder. In Aller Welt magazines have been sold and are being kept for one of the forum members. For further information, please phone me on 0428 50 1800. I also have a...

Anything I would say would be just about meaningless - from a styling point of view, this has to be the ultimate. Haven't looked at the videos as to how the car drives, but this one I would gladly park in the lounge room. Just amazing. Regards Styria...

Known as the Honda Jazz in this country, and it is the 2013 model that is owned by us. Conventional Auto Transmission - 5 speed - and hitherto it has been a perfectly reliable car. It has done about twenty three thousand kilometres in just on two years. So now comes the follow up model with...

These are AMG's latest creations - information just about hot off the press. I can't say that I am terribly fond of the wheels the car is fitted with, and the mechanical wizardry and specifications are enough to just about scare the living daylights out of you. Anyway, enjoy for what it is...

Those familiar with Kent Bergsma videos will appreciate that he is a hands on person, and he usually explains quite succinctly the procedures involved in carrying out various repair tasks. Take this latest video that I am submitting - all very well and good if your car is on a hoist as...

Yes, Fiat produced a small V8 - 70 degree configuration in the early '50s. To say that they are an absolute classic, a wonderful jewel in Fiat and '50s Sports Cars is a total understatement. The link provides you with some very rewarding 'looking', and I ask you to put a bit of time into...

Situated on Lake Como - surely one of the most prestigious concours d'elegance in the world. In this link, you will find seven pages of superb photographs of the various entrants, and the last page contains a kaleidoscope of many cars and each one enables you to open a link for further viewing...

Maybe CraigS may find this of interest as he is the owner of a Tatra and we all know how they have shot up in price over the last few years. Well, here perhaps is the car that may have Tatra's origins and, whatsmore, it had attracted an extremely low price on ebay, although the listing has...

Nice video, very nice looking car - the video is still going and I haven't had time to determine if, in fact, it is a 6.9. Certainly cheap at the asking price. Regards Styria https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-ts=1422579428&v=LVZ0EWt-rJg&x-yt-cl=85114404

This article answers a number of pertinent aspects relating to these Revenue raising cameras. It's particularly annoying when you get caught by the so called "Safety Cameras" - you know, the ones that ping you for speed and running red lights. I copped one the other day - 70 km/h in a 60 zone -...

Both cars, a bit faster than the Tesla, except for the figure 8 trip =- as long as all distances and layout were equal. I agree with the tester - the Audi appeals a little more appearance wise. But boy, both cars.........Regards Styria...

I remember the time of the introduction to the "brother"of the equivalent Mercedes variation, that some reviewers/testers actually declared the Crossfire to be a "better" car than the Mercedes. I must admit I liked its unusual styling somewhat better than the Benz, but all of that was a...

I wonder if there are more to be discovered in due course ? Thanks to Bruce Duncan of Rover Net, I am providing a link to this website. One can only speculate as to the values of bidding in the February Auction. Regards Styria...

I guess words and video succeed in demonstrating what is an absolutely fabulous car. Really, it is beyond the scope of my understanding as to the features of the car, and the sort of motoring and ownership pleasures it provides to a lucky owner. It is just about impossible to believe what...
