Would you really want a car styled the way it is, and the asking price for it ? I honestly think that they ran out of ideas regarding the rear window treatment - shades of Ssang Yong (?) Stavric ? I am afraid so. Regards Styria...

Has anyone heard of this particular Mazda Le Mans Racer ? Well, I hadn't until I came across this particular feature from the internet magazine "Winding Road". It finished up cleaning the Le Mans 24 hour race sometime in the '80s. I recall the RX3 - I think that was its designation, and a...

We all know, well at least some of us, what a surprising and possibly ill conceived, classic the Volkswagen Kombi has become. I guess it mirrors the image of freedom, versatility, adventure and could well be considered the forerunner of today's SUVs. So take this bus - what is it worth ? It has...

It's easy enough to state that both of these, and obviously GB in particular, are real favorites of mine. I have relayed the story previously of spotting the earlier Quattroporte at Arnold Glass' Nissan dealership, when they offered me $500.00 trade in on my Finnie 300LWB against a price of...

1956 Maserati A6G Allemano - it is an absolute jewel of a car, beautifully and classically styled. Only a 2 litre engine, as compared with its later model bigger straight six and V8 engine brothers. The grille treatment, with its Trident badge, is typical of Maserati and is a styling feature...

Mark, if you have a look at the bottom of the bolt - my precise reason for using the alternative bolt as detailed in my post. Regards Styria

I have resurrected this old thread in the interests of keeping the topic as condensed as possible. As a matter of interest, I have not re-read any of the posts, but I am merely adding details of my latest experiences. As you guys may recall, there were some problems in obtaining new filters, and...

Stunning design - how technology has changed over the years. Regards Styria http://www.emercedesbenz.com/autos/mercedes-benz/s-class/2015-mercedes-s65-amg-coupe-quick-view/attachment/mercedes-s65-amg-14c598_105-2/#gallery

Total classic, absolutely immortal - the Sportscar that dominated thirty years ago. Where has time gone - and how well have we used it. Food for thought. Regards Styria http://www.windingroad.com/articles/blogs/classic-porsche-917/

All are Coupes, all are the latest from their respective manufacturers. Cars like these are of topical interest, thus these tests are being catalogued for future viewing on TK. Regards Styria...

Geoff, I did try to comment but my PC has at times been all belly-up. Anyway, I thought the video less than brilliant - the guy just wouldn't shut up. I suspected that I had already posted a video on this car a while ago - I have now found it and it is much better to watch, but also to listen...

A good run-down on a most beautiful car. I have to admit that I was rather impressed by the means by which he evaluated the quality of the paintwork. Very clever. Incidentally, I have just changed over from XP2000 to Windows 7 Professional. I am still all at sea, so to speak, and it is taking...

From Classic Car magazine - have not yet read properly so cannot comment any further. If any thoughts, please express them. Regards Styria http://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/race-bred-battleship

Yes Lukas, now we do, thanks to PvD. I also know that he procured the appropriate rod with the flexible links from the States. I don't have of those as far as paert numbers and price are concerned, but he may be able to supply us with further information in due course. Regards Styria

This age old problem now appears to have been solved - well, a solution found. Thanks to the efforts and intuitiveness of our new member Peter (PvD), he has discovered that Suzuki part number OT-01 for one of their tie rod centre rubber boots is just about a perfect fit for the hydraulic...

1957 Cadillac Convertible - as introduced by our old friend from Carolina. It is difficult to find a more imposing car than this one. Beautiful, but just a bit worried about the double pronged weapon on the bonnet. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPPBYn5Z3sQ

Hi Craig, I know you to be pretty handy, but perhaps you may wish to check on the thread of rectifying and testing the central locking system that I posted some while ago. Regards Styria N.B.http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2654&highlight=central+locking

Sooner or later, one will need to replace disc brake rotors. The removal and fitting procedure for front and rear assemblies is markedly different, and this thread will concentrate on the rear assembly. At times, old discs can be stubborn to remove, and it helps to really belt the hub part of...

Just a couple of observations. Driving along Windsor Road the other day, towards Parramatta, I quite often take GB up to about 70 or 80 - yes I know, that constitutes speeding, but it is downhill after all, and I don't commit the indiscretion very often. Anyway, it just so happens that a driver...

Timmy, it's a bit early, don't you think ? The man is still trying to start das Schlachtschiff ! :) Regards Styria
