    2013 Mercedes SL65 AMG

    That's one formidable machine! I can vouch for the wonderful feeling i get every time I drive my newly purchased R230 SL. As much as I love driving either of my CLK, the SL is in a league of its own.

    Are Euro Cars a Wise Choice For a Daily Driver

    My 2000 CLK430 is an extremely dependable daily driver. Why would I want to spend zillions on a brand new Benz (the equivalent runs into six figures!) I have airbags (not recalled) and a late model sound system with Apple Carplay and Bluetooth audio. I do test drive new cars all the time, but I...

    Rust Repair Panels

    Great find! American cars have had rust repair panels offered for years. Some US cars can have almost the whole body available in rust repair panels. Let's hope they also make an SEL sill replacement panel.

    M117 Timing Chain Replacement - Pictorial

    This is quite ironic as I've had the timing chain and 'accessories' on my 500SL AMG replaced in the last few days. Labour is not cheap (several hundreds of dollars), but I don't feel confident nor do i have the time and place to do it.:rolleyes:

    Car of the week

    The convertible I bought a few weeks ago was very cheap... If one is not desperate for four doors, these are modern and very reliable cars.

    These CLKs are such great bargains for anyone wanting a Benz with all the bells and whistles. @ $3,800! https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2001-MERCEDES-CLK320-COUPE-AUTO-198KS-FEW-MARKS-DRIVES-WELL-3-800-NO-RWC/264804983808?hash=item3da79b6400:g:iyYAAOSwQ1dfGRr5

    Monday morning and Jerry has been busy. The W140 is in the booth, ready to be painted today.

    Another Project

    Well, Jerry has been busy panel beating and repairing the minor dents that were around. The ‘Ghost’ (as the Lebanese Benz lovers like to call the W140) is in the Spraybooth to paint the bumper bars and the lower section of the body. Here are some pics prior to that.

    6.9 6 speed manual kit

    Now that would make the world of difference, but would a W210 gearbox handle the torque of a 6.9?

    The Rover P5/P5B

    Whoever buys it can get it painted by Jerry. I'm sure he'll do you a good deal.

    Another Project

    I guess I couldn't let this one pass, although this model is probably the one I least like or desire, but it was too good to let go, at least on paper and in the photo. It has books from new and could do with a bit of body work and a respray. Time will tell if I made the right decision. I'll...
