Unfortunately, the only 126 items I have are a 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder Ignition Modules. Plenty of w116 spares, but they are of no use to you. I still have a tinted rear screen for a 450SL that you already know about. I have been reluctant to put it on ebay in view of your previous interest...

Well C107, that's quite amazing. I found that the Citroen was peaking out at about 150 km/h, and we were urging it along at that speed - you know, when you're riding a horse and you're geeing it up. There was very little left in the Citroen. The turbo version was considerably more sprightly, but...

That last post was back in 2008 and I certainly have to eat my words. Oz country nowadays is home to many 2.2 litre Turbocharged Diesels fitted to many SUVs, particularly the Koreans. In fact, a number of SUVs and Sedans have reduced capacity back to 1.5 and 1.0-1.1cc turbocharged Diesels...

Attached please find an excellent expose of the 6.9's Hydraulic Suspension set-up. Regards Styria

Well, we needed to say RIP to Tarek in Egypt who was a wonderful contributor to TK with a lot of panache, but unfortunately it was heart problems that resulted in his death. Even nowadays, I still think of him and his beautiful command of the English language. Regards Styria

So, what's next ? Not too much I am afraid. It was one of those days when it was difficult to take photos, but don't ask me why. I was about head off home, but then decided that I might as well utilize my time a bit better and explore what is really quite a magnificent, natural complex. Trees...

Well, well, well - in no particular order. Picture of Gleaming Beauty on the morning before I set off for St. Ives. I am still quite smitten by the looks and even colour scheme of Gleaming Beauty She has hardly turned a wheel since last June, Inspection date. Next we have a beautifully presented...

Well thank you, some of the doubles have disappeared - I think. Obviously, I took some other pics as well, and hopefully I will be able to post them Where I have not mastered the procedure is when I try and comment on EACH photo. So anyway, let's try.

My apologies for doubling up on some of these pictures. Obviously I haven't gotten the hang of the finer points when submitting pics., but I will get there IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE. Regards Styria

The first car to attract my attention was a beautifully kept (partially restored) NSU RO80. This particular car still spotted a Wankel Engine, and those engines were responsible for the demise, and eventual take over, by Audi. Warranty claims simply sent them broke. I have driven anRO80 many...

It was a very busy and rather well attended event. My initial impression related to finding a parking spot and it didn't take me long to arrive at the decision that for me this would be "first and last time". However, one should not be so hasty in decision making. What I would change is my time...

It will be good to see you guys. Regards Styria

Hi Patrick, I haven't mentioned your name in regards to tomorrow's event at St. Ives Showground. I want you to know that it was merely an oversight as I would really love to meet you at some time. Perhaps tomorrow could be the day ? I hope you can make it, but I do appreciate the distance...

I realize he is not universally liked, and perhaps not respected. However, that being the case, should we ignore that his videos are the most widely watched on the Internet - I am talking about "Repair" and Assessment videos. His expose of cars featured in the video feature here is, in my...

Talking about "bodies" facing up - we should not forget our very learned Auto Gearbox specialist named Sean - for you Sean, St. Ives Showground is only a hop and a jump away. Perhaps you can make it. I am also thinking of Benz Boy - he's got a couple of nice, shiny cars that would be a welcome...

To be honest Bryce, I am not even certain that he will show. I did mention it to him about a week ago, but no word from him since. The Rover 3500S is somewhat of a problem child. I spent a day and a half on the car dismantling and tuning the carburettors, but it bothers me to relate that I...

I took off early this morning to do a bit of shopping, but to also check height of my front suspension set-up that I had modified last night. The height is much better now (a little lower), and I also managed to ascertain that it is the left front Air Cell that requires replacement. It is with...

Thank you Michel. I knew the boys from when knee high to a Grasshopper. Well, they were, not me. I recall vividly when I organized a barbecue when I had my property in Wahroonga - I bought it when I was twenty three, married to a Lebanese girl who is now a doctor and still alive. Dieter and his...

Michel, whichever car, it will be good to see you. It's been quite a long time. I aim to be early to ensure that I can spend time with Bryce, and I personally may also be a little restricted time wise on account of a most important family event. I will endeavour to leave about twelvish. A...
