I have been reading with some interest and occasionally contributing tips and tricks to make a car look great and although I don't "Do" Car shows as I really cant be bothered being careful to that degree with cars I drive. As im also a notorious tightarse when it comes to buying cars I prefer...

If I were in a position to buy a new 4 wheel drive Id suspect that this would rate highly on my must have list! What a cracker http://youtu.be/cxSu8arwgqg

Gents! I saw on a website for an Eastern European Benz workshop a 107 suspended fully on tripod stands which used the jacking tubes to attach to the car. Brilliant idea and it looked very stable so I want a set! problem is I cant remember where I saw them and id love some good pics of one to...

The title says it all! Seems Land Rover is on its way out for real now. They ####ed up the supply contract by showing no interest so the ADF did what any smart cookie would and went to what 90% of Europe use! The G Wagen! Headed north around Auguthella........

Im sitting here having just read an Email from Erik at SLSconversions quietly banging my head against the desk........... I've just bought and paid for 2 SLS Pods, nearly $400 inc freight which im happy with and tonight I read this. Hey , The kit for the 124 sls conversion is finally for...

I was chatting to my Lil Bro last week about the car club and historic permit's and he expressed a desire to buy a Mercedes which I have since identified as a W108 or 109 chassis. The car he spoke about was a 6.3 so im assuming its a 300SEL 6.3 but I believe they also had M116 3.5 V8 as well as...

I have swiped this from http://www.vclassics.com/archive/efi.htm where I first found it years ago trouble shooting a 142 Volvo. The Author is Phil Singher, Editor of Vclassics.com and this article is basically what I used to de mystify D jet injection before having a go at solving Lili's woes.

On the slow road to tidying up the Green SEL I have to replace the carpets which are a mid olive green in colour. Any clues where I can get such an item and preferably cheaper than usual?? Tony

Another Jalopnik article, Enjoy! http://jalopnik.com/5896127/watch-mercedes+benz-destroy-an-illegal-300sl-replica/gallery/1?popular=true

I have come to the conclusion that an M100 Powered 450SEL is not for me. They seem to have issues that well outnumber anything I have seen on their smaller capacity bretheren and structural quirks, They also seem to be worse kept than the standard 450's as well as being equipped with items...

Every year some of the most expensive advertising air time on the planet leads companies to make OUTSTANDING 30, 60 or 90 Second Television commercials. This offering from Mercedes Benz is no exception and shows all manner of Mercedes from the last 125 years including a crash test car lol Well...

As you all know I've recently had a shot at refurbishing my AAV for my D jet 450, The AAV is common to the 280/350/450 M116/M117 in both D and K jet and I believe the AAV's themselves are the same. So I've collected up my ramblings and pics and im placing them here as an easily searchable...

*Sigh* The Boss, AKA She who must be obeyed AKA Jenna was watching X men on DVD last night and called me in to identify a Mercedes she really really wants. It was a Grosser of some sort, short wheel base. I explained what I could, pro's and con's but she made certain demands of me last night...

An electric Phantom? http://m.jalopnik.com/5858023/rolls+royce-102ex-first-drive

Nice short Youtube doco on the 116, most other models here as well, 107 included. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=g75P9F7Qpbo Tony

http://m.jalopnik.com/5855586/the-ten-greatest-automotive-urban-legends/gallery/ My reasons for posting this? There are 6.9 of them unless you are familiar with this brilliant piece of cinematic art. Oh and a Youtube interview and drive.... Why it's great: Claude Lelouche's 1976 film is...

This episode of 5th Gear was why I bought the 124 230TE over a 126 300SEL, please note that Vicki Butler-Henderson repeatedly says sorry to the poor old test subject. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saV3hUUry-4

I have in the past 10 or so years seen many discussions on auto forums about motor oil's and having bought a fair bit of the stuff myself over the years I came to find that all oil is NOT created equal but apart from seeing many and various cars serviced or varying mileage and build quality...

As a former professional Chauffeur (Something I did after burning out in my chosen profession) and then continuing to do so part time for over 20 years I've driven a lot of interesting and some exotic cars along with the boring and very ordinary and in that time my dislike of Stretched cars...
