Here we go, a touch of Connelly hide.

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...

Finally a Pic of Miss Pippa, Guardian of the Benz.

And the final 2 For those of you who appreciate a big bum.........

The interior is olive green and initially I wasn't sure about the colour but I've come to appreciate the scheme and how it fits in.

Tall and leather bound with a slight Teutonic sternness, hmmm Miss Victoria. Ok those piccies as promised earlier, just a quick handfull of shots with a happy snap for the time being. I'll do a bit better and use the SLR when she has been cleaned up.

Last Tuesday was an interesting day but the highlight was picking up Alex's 450SEL aka AAB007 and driving her home. For those of you not familiar with the car she is a metallic light green 1974 450SEL with an olive green interior and over the last few days I've crawled over her checking her out...

Beat me to it Michel! And it would look like this..........

Now a question, Can anyone help me with the physical dimensions of the rear springs in a W124 wagon? length unloaded, coil diameter top, mid and bottom. And by coil diameter I mean the thickness of the coil not the diameter of the whole spring. Im going to try get this from my wagon without...

Yeah the Volvo thing was my fault for letting her play with an intercooled turbo manual 2.3 wagon for a few weeks, after the first week she said it was alright but she preferred the V8 Wagon so I popped the boost up to 38 PSI and let her at it again........ They are a fun car to drive but as i...

LOL Ive had a few 200 series Volvo's in my life thus far and although I do like the look of the 850 wagon id now own a Mercedes before owning another Volvo. Then again my taste is sus as I quite like old Skoda's

I dont know about "Prettier" Michel but I ran this model past Jenn and she didnt like them even after I took her to see one in Melbourne that was for sale. Considering it is basically her car she has to have some attachment to it as ive seen what happens to cars out partners are forced to drive...

Oh and after chatting to Jenn last night she gave the okie dokie to start looking into replacing the 230TE with a W123 280TE or other TE if they exist. More in keeping in the 116 spirit and the Wagon I should have bought in the first place.

Well it seems our troubles are over. A truely great man name of Allen posted this link for me and has set the purists aflame with hatred lol View topic - W124 Wagon SLS Strut to shock conversion DIY | THE Mercedes-Benz & AMG Forum for and by the Enthusiasts | MyMBonline.com I must say that...

The Nitrogen cell or SLS "Pod" is what I refer to Styria. And one small issue with importing the spheres is they wont send them airfreight. Im going to source a second hand sphere today to replace the buggered unit only, I have been told that the Lemfeorder units are my best bet.

I was close Michel, very close............

I had the same thought and went looking for the old "Good" unit but I suspect I may have added it to the scrap bin last time i tidied up. Its the left Sphere thats gone yet again Bill and to be brutal the highway here is bloody awful and has more patches than Nannas undies. Might see if I can...

Grrrrr Driving the kids to the bus stop this morning I noticed that the rear suspension has gone rock solid AGAIN! This will be the 2nd set of SLS pods to have died in a little over 12 months and its really beginning to irk me. First set were shot when i bought the car and it was the left...

Guys in a previous life I worked for a Car resto mob and used these guys exclusively to hunt down common and hard to get autoglass. Not only is their retail network large but they fit as well as supply http://www.protector.com.au/Windscreens-Windows.aspx Never disappointed.
