Since Vegas it's become apparent to me that there's many ways our beloved can be navigated. The different methods all have pros n cons and so I thought I'd put them out there to discuss: 1. Push/pull, 2. Hand over hand, 3. 9 and 3, 4. Palm/s, 5. Left handed (the other on the top of...

On a country road in a Buick GSX 455: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=z1yhjLsRLt8 I just love it!!! :cool::cool::cool:

A rather glowing road test of an Aussie 6.9 in the UK... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1178031&mid=0&i=0&nmt=RE%3A+PH+Heroes%3A+Mercedes+450SEL+6%2E9&mid=0 It does raise some interesting questions: As the SLS ages does the body roll become more pronounced? Or does...

Not having to drive her every day would be a great opportunity for more substantial repairs. So Styria, what's the plan???

It looks just beautiful...... from a distance! :eek: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150862678977&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:AU:1123

Once again here's another hapless motorist that thinks (or wants to portray) that they have a 6.9 for sale: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280924717866&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en

I'm not sure if everyone's familiar with this car, but here's a link to parts of the restoration. I thing the most outstanding parts are the dashboard and interior trims, which have been retrimmed in leather (which is what I want to do to mine). It looks like many parts were replaced and not...

Looks nice and I bet it would go (and sound) far better! From Karl: http://www.mbgrand600.com/Page203.html

Looks pretty good even if parts are brown.... http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=10150916918600143&set=a.335493695142.159311.10344285142&type=1&theater

OMG these are so red Michel will love em!! The paint's soooo brilliant I'd almost convert from my favorite navy blue; but then again, someone's gone and done it already! Now the only decision for Michel is hardtop or wagon.... :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIU_Gd-0P1w

Are they all the same, or were there early and late versions? Did the 6.9 ones have a larger capacity??

I've had him for a while; I just thought he deserved his own thread! Here's what he looked like after a little cleaning: He's covered in dust now because he's not my main focus... but not forgotten!! I wish now I used a car cover before I put him to bed! Thanks for the tip Motec, I'll...

Well there's no much happening with him ATM, particulary since he's not running on all 8 cylinders. I suspect a valve, cam, or divider issue. Compression tests are yet to be conducted. Apparently he had water in the fuel at some stage.... Some repairs were conducted, yet the misfire remains...

When I removed Red Bull's steering wheel I noticed that the mark on the column was in the 3 o'clock position. Isn't it meant to be at 12 o'clock? I'd suggest someone (who didn't know what they were doing) has pulled the box and incorrectly re-installed. And although I haven't checked it yet...

I just bought a new steering wheel for Red Bull to replace the W126 unit with the loose grip at the top and bottom. For $100 it's in very good condition but it was in dire need of some TLC. After a wash with some mild detergent, I'm letting it dry out. Once dried I'd like to coat it with...

I'll be helping a family friend to look for a new car soon and I was wondering what you all would recommend? She's 24YO and does quite a bit of city driving. The budget's around $25-$30K.... It's gotta look trendy with all the mods cons for a young girl, plus be safe and reliable with a good...

I got this pic from Facebook. Very, very nice 6.9 steering wheel and instruments!!! With some tasteful alterations:

It's only a 280 and it's full of rust, yet people still want it! :eek: Looks like it'll sell for more than what 450s were going for not that long ago.... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221018631340?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Considering the high prices for W116s and W107s...

I bought this off Ebay and found it facinating.... :D
