    Full Size pickup trucks

    Gents, I’ve never seen a type of family vehicle (which is what the author is bitching about, not the commercial merit) that has caused so much controversy in all my life. Some people are SO against them, I’ve never seen any vehicle do this before. Is he jealous? Can he not afford one of his own...

    Brian is spot on. You do have to look, feel and smell The smell is very important.

    Car of the week

    I’m not a huge Spirit expert but a few things of note I would deduct if I was judging, based on the fact it is a low mileage car, and “fully restored” to me this means factory original. I really do not believe this car has only 47,000 miles. I will need some input from the expert judge Brian...

    MB CLA 200

    You are spot on with your Jazz Styria, and most other Japanese product of the same vintage. Especially when it comes to no maintenance at all except for basic servicing. Unfortunately later model European products have never ever seen this level of reliability without a huge input from the...

    LPG 6.9 for sale on Grays

    Agree Bryce. I have seen some of the worst conversions done to Silver Shadows, and all have been butchered beyond economical repair. What a shame.

    Bryce, You are totally correct about the classic cars, and all of it supporting businesses etc. can’t agree more. I just worry about it all being good on a Monday, then stupid uninformed politicians putting a line through everything, and by Friday it will be all over. Fight for it? Yes we...

    I’m the same Bryce. Only 100% original for me. However, I do like to see what others are up to in this field. I really don’t think there are to many cars of late, that will ever be a classic, where people will want to keep them for the long haul. Most cars these days are considered as...

    Bryce, I remember us discussing this some time ago. Porsche invented synthetic fuel for the Nazi’s and was successful back then. I’m sure they only had to open an old filing cabinet to find the formula. If it burns without pollutants, we may be ok, however if it doesn’t, we may be in...

    Old Fuel

    Regarding old fuel. I fear it won’t be to long before we can’t run our classic cars. Already in Europe, the life span of any internal combustion engine, has already been defined. Volvo truck has already said “no Diesel engines in anything after 2050” They will also have all production...

    Maybe mate. Just unusual as I haven’t heard of fuel going off that quick. Must be a sign of the times. I guess fuel isn’t meant to sit around long in a modern car.

    Old Fuel

    Gents, I’m not that familiar with petrol, as I am more in the diesel world. However, I have not heard of fuel going off this quick. I have not heard of petrol separating, however this is common in diesel, as there is wax in diesel, and different types of wax based on the season it is sold...
