Don’t forget that offset isn’t the only issue when considering new wheels. The incorrect shape of the spokes can foul on calipers (eg series 1 vs series 2 Pentas) and wheel bolt holes are often larger on later model wheels. Meaning early wheels won’t fit later cars. A shallow hub depth can...

Seems rather extreme to just change the coolant lol!! 🥴🤣

The screen shots seem to indicate a relatively standard 6.3 without a custom intake. Not sure if the headers & exhaust mods alone would achieve 350hp. According to the Beyond 2000 story with host Amanda Keller the one of one car cost the wealthy owner a cool $240,000.00 way back then! Sbarro...

Yes I really like it but I’m still not a fan of the way it handles. It gets very unsettled over bumps & cornering is very upright. Speed humps at low speed are harsh even after I discovered the tyre pressure on one front tyre was about 40PSI. I’d like to think I could upgrade the struts for...

Very similar colour to the old girl (Maroon) this one is called ‘Vanish’ (code VN). Perhaps a slightly lighter shade of navy blue (my fav colour). Currently sitting at the Avalon International Airshow waiting for the fun to begin.... I’m hoping the Gliptone range will give a better finish than...

I finally bought a new(er) car a few weeks ago now. Not perfect & need of a little TLC. Most finishes & surfaces are rather delicateso you have to treat them well. Late 2012 Ford Territory Titanium petrol 2WD. Strangely no GPS fitted but has factory DVD & other bells. So many cup holders &...

Yes it’s a horribly massive plummet from grace!!

Still in situ but most of the front now removed incl hydraulics. So annoying when others have tampered with parts before & rounded hex nuts or bolts cause they’ve not used pipe spanners or been careful enough & cross threaded connections. In saying that, the dry sump hoses are insanely tight &...

Confirmation that the Aussie delivered cars could use 91RON

The brochure as part of the media pack which was available on the day. There were some Polaroids taken but the official pix were later processed, approved by MBA & sent out to various interested parties. I’m not sure how they determined who received the pix or how they were sent. Obviously it...

I’ve always had a great interest in her so it’d be great to pick your brain on another Sydney trip!

Found these hidden in the boot of one of my cars!!

I think Styria mentions ‘Dubbin’ in another thread?? I might also check Horseland re saddle treatments

Here’s the competition

That’s exactly where I bought it! A mates headed there Mon to pick some up!

I’m revisiting leather care after a hiatus & tried Mcguires clean/conditioner. Too thin & ineffective for my liking. I also tried Autoglym which went on nicely to provide a high gloss shine which looked like new. But the next day the black leather looked faded & dry even more so than before. Big...

Actually the total cost was £20.9M which is $36.4M AUD and that was 10 years ago!!

There’s some VERY interesting facts about the W196 race car if you care to look it up. 2.5L I8 built for the 1954 & 1955 F1 seasons just before the horrific crash that saw MB withdraw from racing for 30 years. The only one sold privately 10 years ago went for $29M....
