Internet sites tell me that our 2010 204 GLI is as safe as they come . Knee air bags and whip lash protection head rests are std. I did not know this. Plus coupled with " Mobile Eye" The 205 is marginally safer , but with only 60 K travelled and no issues it is probably not worth the hassle...

In view of all the serious crashes reported on Country Roads I have been considering the two Cars we Drive. The Mk V11Golf is fine as a run about in Sydney. ( I have tested all the Air Bags in my 2013 Model !! ) How ever we now travel to our Daughters in laguna and in Shell Cove. North and...

My new Toy is a 1974 Montesa Trials Bike . In restored condition with the Tank in a nice Green Irish colour But there is a 50 cent piece size bubble on the side reminiscent of an Air bubble in Vinyl Wrapping. Hard to tell the difference. Turned out to be paint, an older Porsche Colour , via a...

Bryce's Rover Video was possibly the best I have seen... where have all those skills gone....Other skills probably have taken their place we hope. The connection to the Dent Removal Videos was also the best I have seen. I have a Kit but have had limited success. Back to the drawing Board !

I have long been wondering about a remark by an Old Timer Rover Guy at the Kings School Day. He said that the BW 35 was much more reliable than the BW 65, a later design with the Band Servos built into the Case. This was not my limited experience with rebuilding Rovers .... Was he right ...

Right again Tim ! Just watched my recorded episode of the New Wheeler Dealers. Equal to the original with ED China. An long may it continue !!

Just back from Inverell to visit their very excellent Transport Museum a collection of Cars and Motor Cycles dating back to the 1900s. WWW.nationaltransportmuseum.info:confused: The Brakes on our 204 C Class are firm and fine until a high speed braking is called for. Then the pedal feels...

Now at last I know ,for sure, the difference in Power outputs offered by Manufacturers from the same engine. eg VW Turbo Golf . Basic 1.4 92 KW model and same 1.4 with 110 Kw...... Just a VW chip Tune. V W of course say there e is a difference in the Engines Just as Audi say that their A3 is...

Now I am starting to remember, in my minds eye I can still see the single central head light and the quality interior. I also recall that the Petrol at the time ,1951, was "Pool", about 70 something Octane. Result was low compression and retarded ignition timing. No wonder they were...

For those who reside in Glenorie there will be a large contingent of Vintage/ Classic Cars setting off on a 5 day rally this Thursday Morning between 9 & 10 am. It is the VSCC starting of from the Old Bakery and crossing over the Hawksbury at Wise man's Ferry en route to Laguna for lunch.:)

No Bryce , not that slow ... just that Side Valve Morris Minors were a wolf in Sheep's Clothing. The "52 four Door version was a much improved car. then it was ruined when Morris and Austin amalgamated. The dreadful, Early, A Series 950 cc engines and ghastly Austin gearbox. We were never done...

:cool:I read that the new Mercedes Ute has Nissan Engine and Transmission etc ,etc. So join the Club.... i.e, Volvo Engines in Peugeot's .. Renault etc., etc. As the CEO of Audi has admitted, that the difference between an Audi and a V W was the Badge on the front and the Badge on the Back...

I have had an issue with the Login to an online bank account I opened...it kept showing an insecure symbol instead of the Lock Symbol. Eventually sorted . But I see that the Topklasse Login has the insecure symbol ????? Not that it is a great concern .. but just curious.

I remember picking a New Rover something or other in 1951/52 . It was an Apprentice's job to ferry cars around Belfast. A quality product.. but it would not get out of it's own way. Even a side valve Morris Minor of it's Day would leave it in its wake. What was it ???:D

Jaguar are setting up a research Centre in Limerick, Co Clare, Ireland to develop an Electric Car. The attraction was an English speaking Country who are member of the Euro Zone. A low Tax system was no doubt was factored in. Several hundred specialist Jobs won't go astray either Irish Eyes are...

Diesels .... my daughter boasts about the Economy of her Hyundai I 40 Wagon some 40 mph Motorway and light traffic. Well I have news for her...on the trip down to see her, in Shell Cove, my Turbo Golf returned 60.5 MPH on Petrol. Driving in the 100/110 range in 6th Gear.... 2400/2500 Rpm...

Some advice please Michel. Totality confused about the correct Battery for our 2011 Turbo C Class. Conflicting information in the Battery sites. Eg., does the Car require an AMG ( mat type ) or a standard Gel type ? Then which make/supplier ? Thanks Sean

Could not afford the Petrol. Back from Bathurst to Sydney today, in The Turbo Golf. All the way back to the foot of the Blue Mountains 4.3 L/100 Ks ( 54.7 MPG ) then on to Hunters Hill, consumption rocketed up to 4.4 L/!00 K ( 53.45 MPG ). Light traffic all the way. But Sydney to Black Heath...
