    60 years of the 600

    I can understand the use of hydraulics. The Toyota Century has an hydraulic fan coupling because it is quieter and gives less vibration than an electric one. I have been very impressed with the smoothness of the Century to the point where I would like one - but no, I am not prepared to garage...

    Using the Reserve Bank Inflation calculator, the equivalent price today of the 450SE would be almost $240,000. Try it and see how useful it is - https://www.rba.gov.au/calculator/annualDecimal.html Regards, Brian

    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)

    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...

    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...
