    Villa D'Este - Lago Como

    This time it is 2017 - again the same venue. The quality is never ending. In due course, I will have a more thorough look and offer my unqualified opinion. Regards Styria

    Villa D'Este - Lago Como

    The same event held the following year, viz. 2015. Again, the choice of cars leaves nothing to be desired.

    Wanted to Buy: 350 or 450SLC Feb/March 2022

    Just spotted the car on Facebook - great looking car, perhaps somewhat on the pricey side. Mileage is okay, check colour of oil, Oil Pressure reading and check engagement of gears engaging forward and reverse, primarily when hot. Let car idle for five to ten minutes, and then have the vendor...

    Wanted to Buy: 350 or 450SLC Feb/March 2022

    There is a lot to like about this car. Lovely condition of [paint although I can't be sure about its colour. Seats appear to be in faultless condition although I think the upholstery is probably new. I would not be put off by the car having been fitted with the six cylinder engine - in fact...

    Villa D'Este - Lago Como

    It is the year 2014 - will check. It must be close to be the most prestigious of all Car Shows. Just simply elegant, all very tasteful. Take your time to enjoy the video. I have now taken the opportunity to look at this video in more detail, and I have singled out cars that appealed to me...

    AUDI A7 3.0 litre TDI

    It is fair to say that even the BMW Mini does not enjoy a good reputation judging by the information is available on the net. Costs of parts are horrendous, and reliability appears not to be its strongest suit. Plus it is hellishly expensive NEW for what you get, and losing big time in the...

    AUDI A7 3.0 litre TDI

    I think to discuss matters freely one way or another, is what TK should be all about. TK should cater for many facets of car ownership, preferably details of repairs and the cost involved, what we experience when we add another car to our stable and whatever experience you have/had with the...

    AUDI A7 3.0 litre TDI

    Patrick, where did you go wrong with the Audi ? From reading your posts since you joined, it always struck me that you are a man of significant knowledge and guile who'd be right at home in picking good from bad, or vice versa. Were you perhaps fooled by the cute appearance of the car, or had it...

    AUDI A7 3.0 litre TDI

    Hi BenzBoy, and yours are perfectly valid observations. I looked at a 2015 4008 Peugeot SUV only just yesterday showing about 150K. kilometers and I reckon the oil hadn't been changed for God only knows how long ......it was that black. In contrast, with my Holden Captiva where the oil is...

    Bundt Wheels made by BBS

    The difference between the two types of Bundt. The first two pics. one and the same are the new chromed ones now on the car, whilst the other is the genuine Mercedes Bundt. Note the much wider band of the first two, very much shaped like 15" units. Unfortunately, they are still 14", but at...

    Bundt Wheels made by BBS

    Personally I think they look great. I guess you didn't see what size they were ? Is the owner a TK member ? As you may be aware, presently Gleaming Beauty is shod with the proper size 14" B. F. Goodrich tyres and I honestly think that there is preciously little difference in ride comfort...

    AUDI A7 3.0 litre TDI

    Patrick, was that the car that you owned during the last eighteen or so months ? If I remember correctly, there was an Audi that appeared on TK at some stage. Speaking of "unreliability", I tend to think that Volkswagens could be included in that category, as well as BMW and the Ford...

    AUDI A7 3.0 litre TDI

    A few months ago, I spotted that very same model, except for being a Quattro Diesel, in a Car Yard at Blacktown. You couldn't help but be impressed by the specifications, that promised fantastic road holding with quattro drive, outstanding economy and a beautiful interior. It was somewhat...

    Winding Road - Internet Magazine.

    I have also located an advertisement which, if nothing else, illustrates the most unusual styling of the Brabus Unimog. It has a six cylinder engine of humongous capacity, a top speed of about 57 miles p/h, six forward (I think) and four reverse gears. It is quite a baby. Regards Styria...

    Winding Road - Internet Magazine.

    Still trying to find a way to post the original Winding Road, Issue 13. In the meantime, you may wish to ignore the previously posted Honda Acura (even though I do quite like it), and I have located just a quick run-down on the Suzuki M109R Boulevard Cruiser. Regards Styria

    Winding Road - Internet Magazine.

    It was in January/February that I came across this Internet Magazine, and it was the 1st issue that really appealed with its quality of coverage and the excellent photos, texts and information they were able to combine in an excellent publication. I stayed with them up to the issue of about 24...

    Well Michel, my lazy eye did not spot the bird poop on the bonnet. No, it's a trim piece, but I won't tell which one. Regards Styria

    Car of the week

    Having a careful look at the pics., is anyone struck by some curiously misplaced anomaly ? No rewards, just appreciation if you get right what I think is wrong. Regards Styria
