I don't think it will let you create a thread without a title.

This is a really interesting article about Big Red, a concept gas turbine truck made by Ford: https://www.thedrive.com/news/37925/we-found-fords-incredible-turbine-powered-semi-truck-big-red-thats-been-lost-for-decades

Here are a few pictures of the restoration of this car and the other two P5s in Styria's workshop. Aligning the bonnet is apparently quite difficult on the P5 which is why so many of them have misaligned bonnets. There are two bolts that go through oval holes that provide the adjustment...

Nab - I think for the contest software to work, your photo needs to be uploaded to the forum, not just linked.... You should be able to edit your post to keep the likes you have....

That is a real bodge job. And maybe took longer than carefully checking the housing like you did!

Not sure what the paint is like on your car but if good it is worth putting on a new pad. The heat from the engine will eventually crack the paint above the heads. Even on my lowly 230E this had happened as the PO did not bother to attach the pad. Coupe pad is different to sedan!

Thanks, that would be good. Tonight I ran the car for about 30-40 mins up in the air so I could see the drains. Eventually, after about 10 mins water started coming out of the passengers one only. Nothing out of the drivers one, or on the floor. Once I stopped the engine and let the...

Hi Sean, I don't think it has been this way for many years. it still is in the United States for pickup trucks though.

We have twins and my wife is part of a group called multiple births. There are plenty of people with triplets, multiple sets of twins etc and the Carnival is a pretty popular with that group, especially for people who want to buy new - the 7 year warranty is pretty compelling.

Personally I don’t know why minivans get a bad rap. Much better than an SUV for taking 6-7 people

Any photo you have is fine!

Here is my entry:

Guidelines for this one. A photo of your car out on a drive in the countryside. remember, to click the like button on the photos you like as this is how the contest is judged.

So latest update on the SLC. Helmet gave me some tips on the adjustment on the transmission, and turns out I had been adjusting it the wrong way. He also advised me that if the adjustment did nothing I may have a broken spring in the valve body. even on maximum adjustment no difference, so...

The car I had was a 1.6 with a six speed manual: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2013/09/2013-volvo-v40-d2-review/

I was able to hit 199km/h in small volvo diesel on the Autobahns in Germany. It was still efficient even running flat out.

They look awesome. These are the wheels I want to find for my SEC when funds allow! I think 16 is the sweet spot for the 126 SEC.

That DS has the very rare factory A/C system. You can tell by that upright console and the round vents. Very rare in Australia, most D's that had A/C were dealer fitted units. That D, being a Pallas model has the upgraded Velour upholstery. My car, being a DS21 (non pallas) as the...

Good to see Styria and Michel today, albeit briefly. My photos: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2021/03/auto-brunch-st-ives-march-2021/
