Some members may be aware of the services available from our Barbecue man Jerry operating under the auspices of Michel, the Prince of Arabia, at the premises located in No. 2, Ash Road, Preston. Jerry has been looking after a number of various members' paint and repair requirements for some...

It was Friday, about ten or eleven days ago, and I was feeling pretty smug having been to the Coolabah Hotel where an attractive female offered to pay for my main meal. I am not sure what prompted her action, as I was nicely dressed, did not have a half starved appearance and, of course, those...

I recently got stuck with an Ignition Lock that simply could not be serviced, nor could the car be started. Looking up Mobile Auto Electricians and Mechanic, it was just about impossible to find ANYONE willing to attend. There were a couple of guys very nice in their response, but I may have...

I was recently involved with a 1976 Rover 3500, mainly relating to some trim work and some assessment of one or two mechanical (fuel) issues that an acquaintance who had bought the car recently from a Used Car Dealer located at Granville. I am bringing up this matter more on the basis of car...

After a lengthy break of some two years, the Rover Club returned to the grounds of Linwood House, situated at Guildford. It is a fairly substantial grassy area, with a good covering of trees providing welcome shade from the fairly hot conditions bordering close to the 35 degree mark. The...

A number of months ago, the owner of this 6.9 decided to ship the car from Melbourne up to my premises for remedial work - primarily relating to hydraulic suspension issues. The owner had bought the car at auction "sight unseen" and he paid a hefty amount for it. Sorry, but I am not at liberty...

My 6.9 that I have owned since the mid '90s, was very capably resprayed by Jerry about ten years ago. The paint still looks good, the texture and feel are very smooth to the feel, all obviously helped by the fact that nowadays , and since then, the car has lived indoors. Many times I have...

I just wonder how many owners are aware of what is involved in replacing the carpet in their 6.9, or for that matter, just about any 116 model. To provide an overview of what is involved, I am illustrating by way of pictorial information, the true extent of the work. For starters - all, or most...

I was privileged to see one of the Convertibles in Germany in 2005. They are magnificent. Regards Styria

You will need to ignore constant advertising by FlickR, but then enjoy some of the photographs. Regards Styria

A lot of information has already been posted in various threads pertaining to my Rover 3 litre P5 Coupes. It is hoped that further threads and posts will present a clearer picture of what the hell I have been up to ever since I was twenty four years of age - a neat fifty years ago.....and I...

I have had this website in my Computer favourites for close on two years. I have always enjoyed my somewhat clumsy style of dancing, but my year is good enough to transfer to my feet if the Band makes a mistake. In other words, my ear tells my feet to take that into account. Confused - don't...

It is the year 2014 - will check. It must be close to be the most prestigious of all Car Shows. Just simply elegant, all very tasteful. Take your time to enjoy the video. I have now taken the opportunity to look at this video in more detail, and I have singled out cars that appealed to me...

A few months ago, I spotted that very same model, except for being a Quattro Diesel, in a Car Yard at Blacktown. You couldn't help but be impressed by the specifications, that promised fantastic road holding with quattro drive, outstanding economy and a beautiful interior. It was somewhat...

It was in January/February that I came across this Internet Magazine, and it was the 1st issue that really appealed with its quality of coverage and the excellent photos, texts and information they were able to combine in an excellent publication. I stayed with them up to the issue of about 24...

Probably not a heck of a lot of interest in this video, for the simple reason it just eulogizes and rehashes videos and tests that have been conducted over many years. Nevertheless, as best as I know, it has not previously featured in the pages of TK. Regards Styria Well, would you...

This story, totally true, comes from a 93 year old lady, born and bred in the high country of Bombala, near the Victorian Border. It relates to an influx of Chinese round about the turn of the last century - there were hordes of them, looking for Wolfram, a high quality metal, and they were also...

Came across this gentleman by the name of Geraint Roberts on Facebook. He's obviously a man of good, and perhaps, rare taste as evidenced by his car collection as shown on Facebook. Some very delectable machinery on display and, unfortunately, languishing in a paddock. However, it's a good...

This is my old 105 I owned many years ago. More to come.
