Some very impressive performance figures - can anyone see the day when 0-100 times will be achieved by 'family cars' in under three seconds ? It may be another twenty five years away. Regards Styria...

Strange model terminology, 950bhp (where are we going to use it) and a very conventional looking high performance sports car - but, it's a Ferrari, and I think it should be part of the TK road test library. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaC3jJgtDOE

Would you really want a car styled the way it is, and the asking price for it ? I honestly think that they ran out of ideas regarding the rear window treatment - shades of Ssang Yong (?) Stavric ? I am afraid so. Regards Styria...

Has anyone heard of this particular Mazda Le Mans Racer ? Well, I hadn't until I came across this particular feature from the internet magazine "Winding Road". It finished up cleaning the Le Mans 24 hour race sometime in the '80s. I recall the RX3 - I think that was its designation, and a...

We all know, well at least some of us, what a surprising and possibly ill conceived, classic the Volkswagen Kombi has become. I guess it mirrors the image of freedom, versatility, adventure and could well be considered the forerunner of today's SUVs. So take this bus - what is it worth ? It has...

It's easy enough to state that both of these, and obviously GB in particular, are real favorites of mine. I have relayed the story previously of spotting the earlier Quattroporte at Arnold Glass' Nissan dealership, when they offered me $500.00 trade in on my Finnie 300LWB against a price of...

1956 Maserati A6G Allemano - it is an absolute jewel of a car, beautifully and classically styled. Only a 2 litre engine, as compared with its later model bigger straight six and V8 engine brothers. The grille treatment, with its Trident badge, is typical of Maserati and is a styling feature...

Stunning design - how technology has changed over the years. Regards Styria http://www.emercedesbenz.com/autos/mercedes-benz/s-class/2015-mercedes-s65-amg-coupe-quick-view/attachment/mercedes-s65-amg-14c598_105-2/#gallery

Total classic, absolutely immortal - the Sportscar that dominated thirty years ago. Where has time gone - and how well have we used it. Food for thought. Regards Styria http://www.windingroad.com/articles/blogs/classic-porsche-917/

All are Coupes, all are the latest from their respective manufacturers. Cars like these are of topical interest, thus these tests are being catalogued for future viewing on TK. Regards Styria...

A good run-down on a most beautiful car. I have to admit that I was rather impressed by the means by which he evaluated the quality of the paintwork. Very clever. Incidentally, I have just changed over from XP2000 to Windows 7 Professional. I am still all at sea, so to speak, and it is taking...

From Classic Car magazine - have not yet read properly so cannot comment any further. If any thoughts, please express them. Regards Styria http://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/race-bred-battleship

1957 Cadillac Convertible - as introduced by our old friend from Carolina. It is difficult to find a more imposing car than this one. Beautiful, but just a bit worried about the double pronged weapon on the bonnet. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPPBYn5Z3sQ

Sooner or later, one will need to replace disc brake rotors. The removal and fitting procedure for front and rear assemblies is markedly different, and this thread will concentrate on the rear assembly. At times, old discs can be stubborn to remove, and it helps to really belt the hub part of...

Just a couple of observations. Driving along Windsor Road the other day, towards Parramatta, I quite often take GB up to about 70 or 80 - yes I know, that constitutes speeding, but it is downhill after all, and I don't commit the indiscretion very often. Anyway, it just so happens that a driver...

Excellent video on an important function of the fuel system Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4fJAfXYxWk

It's always of advantage to have matters explained properly. I can also assure you that 6.9s sound just like that with the Air Cleaner removed. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5cal1qzw_4

Some of you may have noticed a brief mention by SEL69L that he's had a 450 differential fitted to his car. This step was recommended by a friend of his that's quite heavily into American muscle cars, and he sort of specializes in making cars go 'harder'. That of course was the motive of...

As hereunder, please find quite a comprehensive list, and illustrations, of various Becker Radio/Cassette units applicable to a number of Mercedes models. Regards Styria http://www.astralsilber.de/becker/becker.htm#Oktober%201980 N.B. Translation from German to English is available.

Quite a sober and critical review - looks as though it is not all one would expect. The technology is mind blowing - I am thinking of an 800 meter headlight range. Why would you want it ? How could one use it ? Travelled at night lately on the Pacific Highway, or any other road for that matter...
