Near the airport - Gough Whitlam park in Earlwood, just off the M5. Some photos from a previous event: https://www.classicjalopy.com/2018/10/2018-sydney-german-auto-fest/ Its well worth a visit!

Assuming we are not still locked down, I normally bring it to the German car show each year. I think its normally around November.

Lloyds action results. Doesn't indicate if they passed in or actually sold, but does show final prices which is a good way of knowing true market value

I’m really happy with how the NOS grill mesh and rechromed grille turned out.

I would like to see a photo of it parked next to an original mini!

Last year I installed the Klima Design works monovalve replacement kit on my 560SEC. It wasn't a drop in replacement, but worked well and was a good option given the Bosch rebuild kits for the monovalve are NLA. I've just seen they have updated their kit with a true drop in replacement...

As usual misguided government policies are distorting the market! A bit like those first homebuyers grants that just drove up prices and lined the pockets of the sellers!

If your multimeter has the function (it will have settings for 4, 6 and 8 cylinder) you plug it into the terminals on the coil. otherwise you can probably get something cheap on ebay to do it if your multimeter doesn't have it.

Do you know the Tacho is correct? I suggest an electronic one that you can verify against the instrument on the dash. My multimeter has this function for example. Might be simple, but I know of a car that had multiple transmission rebuilds because the tacho indicated the trans was slipping...

No, you wouldn't have been out of place in Texas. But you might have been, had you rented the small sedan! Not many of those seen outside some of the technology parks in Dallas and Austin where IT types drive their camry to work!

Yes, having lived in America, there is a small contingent who really use the capability of their pickup. Generally not F150 owners though, normally owners of the F250 or F350 or equivalent. The author is right though, most use it to commute to the office. I had a ranger as a rental once...

This is an interesting thread on Twitter about Full Size pickup trucks in America and how they are used. In the last five years these have become increasingly popular in Australia too. Generally I agree with the sentiments of this thread. Content for those not on Twitter: Pick-up trucks...

Another review of the P6 3500. Its a lovely series 1 example:

I've always been partial to the 15" pentas on the W116 with the AMG spoiler that Styria made up.

Might take a few days of 5,000 classics driving into the CBD and clogging things up before they realize there are quite a lot of us and we all vote!

An LPG car would be an instant no for me unless I am buying as a parts car. Some of those conversions were shockingly bad, and as a classic car fuel consumption is not the issue that it is for a daily commuter.

I think it will be much harder for the government to take this right away in countries like Australia, UK, USA with a thriving classic car movement and industry. Having said that, I think you're right and we as owners and enthusiasts will have to fight for it.

Turns out there are anchor points for lap/sash belts in the back of a W111 cabriolet. I found it hard to get a good answer to this question. https://www.classicjalopy.com/2021/07/w111-cabriolet-rear-seatbelts/

I've seen plenty of Impala W126s for sale, 420SELs in particular. I would say its pretty popular. Bornite on the other hand is quite rare
