I won a detailing voucher and had the car detailed

My entry for the photo contest:

Nice, I love the red interior. 500? Those wheels are good too- I think I have seen them on the W221 S600 as well.

Is that the one you got a few months back, or has another silver convertible arrived? Also, how is your w140 project going?

Really sorry to see that. Hope not too much was taken. There are some real low-life’s out there.

As some of you know, Styria rebuilds the level control valves and the struts for the 6.9. This is a very similar system to the series 1 full hydro system on the W126, and it was later evolved for the series 2. A few of you may be interested to see his setup when it comes to testing his...

Interesting. I guess theoretically possible to bore it out and run a 560 crank in the iron block.

Here is somebody who has adapted EFI to a K-Jet V8. https://kjetkillers.pl/en_US/p/Injection-set-piggyback-EFI-Mercedes-V8-m117/

I just changed the battery on my 560SEL. For a car that has been garaged all its life and I can't find any rust at all, the battery tray was quite nasty. Details here: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2020/11/w126-battery-tray/ Basically I removed the tray, cleaned it up with a wire brush...

I got this from the car industry analysis twitter feed. Stats are for USA but I think Australia would be similar, probably hatchback higher and pickup lower. The move from sedans, wagons and people carriers to SUVs is stark.

This car looks nice. https://vandp.net/sales/1739/1935-derby-bentley-4-25-litre-top-hat-saloon-by-freestone-and-webb/ This is B185EJ. I normally prefer originality, but the modifications on this car would seem to make it more usable - the MKVI conrods, uprated pistons and taller rear end...

I attended the Youngtimer Sacco day event today. Basically a celebration of the cars designed by Bruno Sacco. Great event and excellent turnout. A few pictures plus click the link for more: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2020/11/youngtimer-sacco-day-2020/

The /8 has never been my favorite Mercedes but the pre facelift 280E is definitely the one to have, even more than the coupes. love the colour too, https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/1822487277914667/?media_id=0&ref=share_attachment

Personally I wouldn't want to lose the LSD with all that torque. Even a 450 can be a be a bit of a handful with an open diff.

This is a great video of an interesting car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXJJoP4pFM0 JXJJoP4pFM0
