The Car is New ! There are half a dozen long thin scratches on the Bonnet ..like a Cat has clawed up a Warm Bonnet. Can't be felt with finger nail so not to deep. I will try to Polish out with T Cut. Then, will a couple of coatings of Ceramic Spray give a harder surface ?? Has anyone had...

Unfortunately like the Camry I bought a few years ago, the Paint is not very robust... easily scratched. Little depth but a brilliant Finish..... straight off the Gun I believe. I should have bought a new R.R. !

How is your new Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo I hear you ask.... A revelation from the early designs of this type of Vehicle. Safety paramount... A plus.... Lumber A. Bags and a Driver's Knee Air Bag. Has all the merits of good modern Car. Engine.. Transmission.. Suspension.. Steering ...

Get the BW 35 Auto .........Cheap and easy to re-Build .... just ask ...

Silver Star are not in the Business of serving the specialist Classic Market. Small Beer for any modern Company.

My latest reading tells me that Wiring Harnesses are going to become extinct. Even Mercedes is now importing some from Mexico to fulfill a shortfall. ICE Cars uses Kilometres of Wiring, heavy and expensive. Tesla has a type on modular System, to tackle the weight issue. Less weight = more H.P...

Like buying a used Car ( or Bike ) I buy from the Guy...if he does not pass muster move on. I trust "Silver Star" over many years always good advice and quality never had a problem. They just source OEM and are selective. Could be that what OEM supplies to a Manufacturer and what they dump to...

Yes and Yes Brian.. I can drive a Truck non Syncro.... I well remember rebuilding a 4 speed "Crash Box " in a 140's Ford V 8 in Melbourne in the late Fifties. Parts were in Stock ... drove like a dream .

6 Speed Manuals indeed Brian..... How about an 8 Speed CVT in my new Mitsubishi . Using the Manual Pedals on to shift up and down there are 8 distinct Shifts. The up and down shifts in Automatic Mode are indicatable. Smooth as Glass ( or a new born baby's Bum )

Brain will correct me if I am in error.... Cross swooping's.. In the Thirties R.R. adopted the front suspension design from Packard.... In their turn Packard Built the R.R. Merlin Engines under Licence....reputed to be better build than the original UK builds. The most successful American...

Yes Patrick .. most Accidents are caused by Mechanical failure..... The Nut behind the Wheel gets lose!!

Those Tesla Accidents with Drivers being 100% relaying on their Auto Pilot rings a Bell. Even though I can set the Cruise control on the Mitsubishi to stay as far back as I like ,I don't feel comfortable relaying on it. When I watch "Aircraft Investigation" on Foxtel there is all ways the...

Yes, that Body Less Chassis restored by Paradise Garage Sydney is a thing of beauty

Interesting that Mercedes changed Horses in Mid Stream, probably 10 plus Years ago when they had Major problems with the Electrics... Can't remember from whom, and who to.

Now don't tell Brian as R.R. are also a Kit Car....A BMW Engine and the Auto Trans from Whom ? The Brakes... the Tyres ... the Electrics ( Electronics ) ??? List goes on..... As Patrick says...... it was always thus.... . P.S. The more I drive the Mitsubishi...... the more I appreciate a...

My new Mitsubishi is 40% 0wned by Nissan .. Nissan is controlled by Renault in a 3 way Alliance. So how much of my Car, an Eclipse Cross Turbo, is actually Mitsubishi ?? They are also all in Bed with Mercedes in America. Throw in Russia.. Brazil ... Korea and China for good measure. Like all...

Is Rolls Royce just a Kit Car.... Bits bought in from everywhere like everybody else ?

This was my first foray into used Cars for 40 years. Always bought new.... To smart for my own good !!!!!

Yes Patrick I will use the Dealer at least till the 5 year Warranty... After that at 92 how much longer will I live !!!
