What do I think of this car - don't know yet, but I promise to read the test in due course. Just as a matter of interest, do we need Hybrid cars ? If so, for what reason. I tend to think it just adds complexity to what are already complex cars. Someone please put me right. Regards Styria

I just love those old cars, and the nostalgia of a bygone area they represent. This video comes with compliments of the Mercedes Heritage Centre. Regards Styria http://www.mercedesheritage.com/2012/video-mille-miglia-2012/

With compliments from SEL 69L. Which of the two is the winner ? Find out yourself. I was very surprised, pleasantly so, at the sprint time - 7.1 secs. Regards Styria http://wot.motortrend.com/video-1979-mercedes-benz-450-sel-6-9-vs-2013-s-350-diesel-376303.html

This is the original McLaren. An interesting car when compared with the 12C. Regards Styria

I can always dream - have been doing so for seventy one years.:D Regards Styria

These tests are getting better all the time. Again, we have a very select group. I must admit that the Audi R8 V10 is just beyond belief. Regards Styria

How pretty is pretty - almost as pretty as Michel's birthday girl. This Renault baby cuts it.....well, IMHO. Regards Styria

Rightly or wrongly, I have my reservations (possibly unfounded) about the Volkswagen product. What one reads and hears from time to time, it does make you wary, and you hear of recalls, etc. etc. Nevertheless, the Golf has been an unbridled success for many years, and this latest hot hatch...

Why am I showing details of this driving test? In short, the VW Polo has carried all before it for this 2013 Rally season, wresting the championship from the Citroen (C4?). Unless I am mistaken, it is probably the first hot hatch to utilize both A Spercharger as well as Turbocharger. I do think...

It's a while since I have read and evaluated the outcome of the test conducted by EVO magazine, so I make no comment at this stage. However, all speed freaks, and purveyors of exotic machinery, can and should enjoy the article. Regards Styria

Prior to purchasing the Honda Jazz, I really considered the purchase of a used B200. Alas, I chickened out on account of possible servicing and repair costs, and it was only at the recent Christmas get-together that one of the Club members absolutely crucified the reliability factor of the...

Both magnificent machines - which one would you guys prefer ? Regards Styria

Interesting comparison. More comment to follow. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivNFFv9-MgU

One of the most susceptible areas of your car - caring for it is of the utmost importance. Regards Styria

Call me crazy, call me stupid, tell me I have no taste ! However, just look at the Hudson Italia and, of course, the Autobahn Kurier. What a car. Also, that Buccialli does look the goods as well. Reminds me of the 'Cross Europe' Bentley Special. Regards Styria

Have not read this test properly - mind you, as a rule, any SL needs to be placed in the "desirable" category. Mind you, I like those rims - the same as on my 420SEL. Regards Styria

A very special, and beautiful 300SLS of the '50s - a variation from the 'normal' model. I don't think one could imagine a more beautiful shape.

Tim recently sent to me details of an ebay listing comprising of seventeen magazines published by Daimler Benz. The asking price was $100.00 but, needless to say, the listing did not attract a single bid. Now, I have a great collection of these magazines on hand, going back to 1958 (Issue 28-I...

For those "Do It Yourselfers", full dismantling and assembly procedures for the valve bodies applicable to Auto Transmissions. The process is not one for the faint hearted, and most shops will only ever soak the complete assembly in Petrol and blow dry as best as possible with compressed air...

Beautiful cars - great sound. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgKjp1pq7iI
