I was looking for build a better battery disconnect switch for my 250SE. I had one of those terminal mounted switches that was becoming unreliable. So I build this instead. Probably some will frown on this, but its 100% reversible. More on the link below...

I went to the eastern creek event today which was a nice day out. Styria was there too, but we didn't run into each other as he was there from early and was leaving around the time I arrived (late). http://www.classicjalopy.com/2018/08/2018-shannons-eastern-creek-car-show/

I am in the USA for work and had a free day to go to this show. What an amazing collection of cars: http://www.classicjalopy.com/2018/07/2018-concours-delegance-of-america/

I've been staggered by a couple of recent examples of depreciation I have seen in luxury cars. 1) My E350T. Purchased 9 years old with a full year of rego for $18,000. Sold new for over $130k. That is almost $13k per year of depreciation. 2) My brother is buying an E63 BMW (650i)...

Good photo gallery of the Citroen CX: https://petrolicious.com/articles/this-citroen-was-made-to-crush-continents-with-a-family-onboard The CX didn't do well through the banger phase and few are left. There are a lot of untrue rumours about these cars like how the C-Matic transmission can't...
