    1956 Cadillac V Packard

    The Packard plant site is a 40 acre site quite close to the center of Detroit. Its one of those places that people from outside detroit think they can make money due to the proximity of the plant to downtown. only trouble is that this area of town is still pretty rough. A big factor in...

    1956 Cadillac V Packard

    As Motec Said, Packard basically stopped in the mid 50s (their name carried on for a bit). what you might not know is the factory is still there in downtown detroit, basically derelict since then. There have been some portions of it used from time to time, but mostly its used to dump...

    semi autonomous driving

    It's amazing how far the Camry has come. I remember them in the 90s when they were the most boring unimaginative car you could buy: Now it's a technology powerhouse.

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Another nice P5B for sale in Sydney, this time in the most popular colour of Admiralty Blue/Silver Birch https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sydney-city/cars-vans-utes/1970-rover-3-5-litre-coupe/1203556682 I don't like how they have butchered the door cards for speaker installation.

    560sec ece

    Last night I went to move the SEC and noticed a rather large puddle of petrol under the car. It is coming from near the fuel pumps. I had already purchased a new fuel filter so I will replace all the hoses. Will need to look up the part numbers for the W126 fuel hoses.

    Car of the week

    Another Green SEC, this time a 420SEC that is being advertised as a 560. https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotDetails.aspx?smode=0&aid=10784&lid=1698716 I prefer the other one, but if you want a collection of green SECs you could buy both!

    560sec ece

    I took off one side of the cam cover last night as I was changing the air filter to see if I could tell if the chain has been done on this car. I only had time to take off one side but it didn’t look too bad. I didn’t rotate the engine so I couldn’t prove if there was a new or original...
