I was able to take Styria's 6.9 for a drive today. I have driven plenty of M117 engined cars before (450s, 560s etc) but the M100 is in a league of its own when it comes to torque. Regardless of speed or gear you have instant accelleration on tap and instant throttle response. I suspect...

Perhaps Tim's 300SE could be fitted with a twin key setup like a ballistic missile. This could prevent premature launch of the W126

Aldi car battery chargers are back. They are $30 from memory and I've had mine for a year and found it very good. The only thing my expensive ctek charger has that the aldi doesn't is the auto sense function. Just saw them again today in my local Aldi.

My jag has been having some work done on its brakes amongst other things, so I was at the workshop the other day picking it up. Anyway, they were doing a couple of neat installations of electric aircon to some E-Types which was quite a neat solution for early E-Type that lack the room for A/C...

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1978-Mercedes-280SE-/282184316692 Being sold as an uncollected lot. Presume it doesn't work since it is currently only at $400 could even work out as a parts car for somebody in VIC.

I sold it rather than importing it. Only got $2800USD. SEC's are worthless in the states unless they are concours and with 50k miles. Still, I only paid $3400 and I used it for 2.5 years and drove it all over the country. I had another SEC I used to drive in the winter as a winter...

My brother is bringing over his W123 tomorrow as he has been complaining that at full lock the steering is making groaning noises (more than cars normally make on full lock). I first told him to check the fluid level in case the pump is sucking air, whcih he has - it was a bit low so he topped...

There is a 2007 model that I have seen on carsales. the price is high, but the good news is that I don't think it is affected by the balance shaft issues as I found the engine number cut offs on another forum, which I see as M272 9xx 30 468993 and using the russian vin decode site, the car I...

Does anyone have any tips on specific things to look at on an S211? Am thinking of getting one for my wife. Going to look at one this weekend.

My flight out of LAX was canceled last night so I ended up with a morning in LA to spare. I've always wanted to visit the Peterson museum which was excellent. For those who are interested I have uploaded some photos: http://blog.docmong.com/2016/08/the-peterson-museum/

This was a great event and there were some really interesting car, in particular in the 2nd shed. http://blog.docmong.com/2016/07/the-great-shed-tour-of-2016/

Interesting article from the good weekend in 1985 about Roger Rogerson's Continental. At the time fmr Sgt Rogerson was being investigated for Perverting the course of justice, he claimed he got the $110,000 from the sale of a Bentley Continental.

has anyone used this product? I've seen a few people on other forums swear by it and my DS spent many years in Adelaide so the regular cleaners you buy only do so much. Its quite expensive, which I don't mind if it works, but if its just the same as all the others then there is little...

I would encourage anyone who has an interest in French cars to stop by the All French day on July 17. It is free for spectators, $10 if you want to enter a car. I'll be there, most likely with my TA. Sunday 17th July - ALL FRENCH CAR DAY SILVERWATER PARK Start: 10 a.m. Location...

There is a W116 on carsales like this. There are some quite nice pictures, but in the description it says they are from the cars heydey and it has been stored for many years and is now in poor condition.

Here is a nice looking P6 for sale. Been a while since I saw a nice one, most of these you see driving around are real bangers unfortunately: https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Rover-3500-1974/SSE-AD-3823715

Yes please do. I think there are plenty of cars that have been overlooked by the serious collectors but were either groundbreaking, or had some really interesting characteristics or a sense of occasion that set them aside from the pack. The P5 coupe does this for me as the four door coupe...
