    Anti Lock Brakes

    Sean, The acronym ABS comes from its German name Anti Blockier System given to it by Bosch, after many early years of use starting in aircraft. To answer your questions. Tyres are of course very important to traction, and dispersing water from under the tyre however an ABS system will still...

    That looks like a bargain Michel. It’s not red, but a nice colour combo.

    As I am a space program nut, I’ve always wanted one of the Project Apollo Astronauts Corvette Stingrays. Are you all aware of Chevrolet’s input to the Astronaut program since the “original 7” right back almost to Project Mercury? Anyway. I think I may have found it...

    Iridium Plugs

    That is a good article from Champion Brian. Of course these plugs can not be serviced, only replaced. Bosch are one of the leading OEM for many car makers. They make the twin iridium plug. Iridium center electrode tip, and iridium tipped earth electrode.

    Iridium Plugs

    Thanks Michel, My 25 Chev, had spark plugs like this. The cloth covered lead screwed directly to the top. However, if any oil or grease or dirty fingerprint got on the green smooth insulator, you would find it arching down the side, rather than through the plug and to the earth electrode...

    C107's 560SEL

    Great video Bryce. Looks like a lovely car. Besides the interior colour, it reminds me exactly of my 560. Even down to the yellowing of the revers light lenses.
