    British nostalgia

    It's not always easy to decide in which section of TK to create new threads and submit posts. This is one such occasion. Is it going to be in Articles, in the Library, in Road Tests or even Talking Torque. I thought about this carefully, but even now I am still not sure whether or not I have...

    W126 Purchasing Advice

    This is an excellent guide to the W126 Chassis Cars. Please ignore the different sizes of the various pages - I am at a loss to explain why. However, I do think that it is still possible to understand the full assessment. Regards Styria

    1939 - 770K German Staff Car

    Just to illustrate to members the extent of Mirbach's operations and facilities at Bernau (between Munich and Salzburg), the pictures hereunder were taken by myself back in 2005 - maybe some have already been shown on TK - if so, I apologize in advance. This picture depicts the main showroom...

    1939 - 770K German Staff Car

    Interesting Craig. Did you get to C. F. Mirbach in Hamburg, or in Bavaria ? You may recall that the last mentioned location was pretty close to the Chiemsee, right on top of a plateau, in magnificent surroundings. If you saw that venue, it was a privilege to be part of. I have reason to believe...

    Honda NSX- Giugaro Jaguar-First Ferrari

    Hi Afro107, good to get your input. You are so damned correct with just about everything you have brought up - or are you correct ? :D The Automatics of the Riceburners, and the go-faster rear deck spoiler are just about mandatory nowadays, aren't they ? So maybe the Honda people did get it...

    Honda NSX- Giugaro Jaguar-First Ferrari

    Also, getting back to the Honda NSX. How many have we seen one lately, in real life ? I saw one maybe two to three years ago, but I have forgotten where. I thought at the time what a magnificent car. Nowadays, absolute collector's value. I found this advertisement of one for sale, presumably...

    Honda NSX- Giugaro Jaguar-First Ferrari

    Hi BenzBoy, somehow slow getting back to this Jaguar and your reply. It is an excellent video, isn't it ? Somehow, contrary to some write-ups, I find the styling very much to my liking. If it is better than genuine Jaguar, I wouldn't like to say - it is just so very different and, of course, a...

    Ferrari V12, Lamborghini, Aston Martin

    Without comments on my part at this stage. Regards Styria http://www.windingroad.com/articles/reviews/video-evo-reviews-ferrari-f12-lamborghini-aventador-and-aston-martin-vanquish/ N.B. My apologies for titling the Ferrari incorrectly - it is the F12, and not V12. Some spirited driving...

    Cadillac Challenge

    Big words, huge promises ? From what I have read, Cadillac has really challenged the Luxury Car segment with its offerings over the last two or so years. If the standards of reliability, and to a lesser extent driveability, are attained, it should hold up well judging from my limited experience...

    Brabus 800 roadster

    Yes, it's a Brabus, and yes, it is a Brabus modified SL65 Mercedes. 800 horsepower, plus a huge whack of torque, and a rather lovely interior. Interesting is the abundant application of leather (not totally tasteful in my opinion) and I find the Air Con outlets just a tad too prominent...

    Rolls Royce Wraith 2012

    Courtesy of the Internet Magazine "Winding Road", this is a run-down on the brand spanking new Wraith. I haven't at this stage read the article properly, but the technology is mind boggling. The feature to come to mind immediately is the Automatic transmission that will be hooked up to the...

    Styria and the Jazz

    I had always wanted to attend, but early in the morning, I virtually had to cancel on account of a family commitment. Luckily enough, I was able to circumvent a problem, and this enabled Julie and I to take part in the "Drive and Be Driven" day organized by the Rolls Royce Owners' Club at a cafe...

    Audi 2009 R8 4.2 litre

    It's amazing that this car has now been in production for more than four years. Fair to say, it was an instant classic right from the start, and I don't think that anything has changed my view. Great styling in its own right, and I was privileged to see one, and hear it running, at last year's...

    History of amg

    We all know of the development of AMG when related to Mercedes Benz. At one stage, AMG was virtually a competitor, but in the end the Company decided to create an extension of its racing activities, as well as the production, of 'sporty' versions of the Company's product, with the result that...

    Blocked TX Valve

    Do you still feel the same way ? I am just wondering how you are progressing with the big 6.3 monster. It's an old thread alright, but interesting to look back upon after all this time. Regards Styria :D

    Producing the C- Class

    Contrary to some thinking, there are C-Class models produced in Germany - as per video. I look at this video, and my head is just spinning at the technology. All built by hand - robot hands. Amazing. Regards Styria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RklGP9pUyJA
