Can I first say that I’ve no affiliation whatsoever? Not sure if this is kosher or not, but, as I say, intriguing nonetheless. 1978 R107 for auction, looks to be in good nick, no description much to speak of but a few photos. I have no idea who the outfit selling are, and their website is a bit...

“So then Sir. Interior colour? “Blue, I think. Yes, blue. Very, very blue.” ”Oh good choice. And will Sir be requiring a stereo in the car?” “Oh yes. With buttons. Lots and lots of buttons. And knobs and meters and.. everything” “I know exactly what Sir has in mind. Leave it with me.”

It's all the money and then some, but doesn't this look rather good? Mercedes W124 E280 Cheers, Gaz

Not really my sort of thing, so I don’t know what they go for, but this looks like a pretty clean example. Used, but not overly used, these things take the miles well I believe so at c. 100K it should be nicely run in. Look after it, and there should be years left in it...

Mind blown. I needed a new carburettor for my motorbike, now given that the engine in that bike powers half the vehicles in South East Asia I reckoned parts would be cheap as they’re made in such huge quantities. However, I hadn’t bargained on just how cheap. This, admittedly, will be a Chinese...

How cool is this? Love it.. but as I’ve nowhere to put it, sadly it will remain a dream along with the rest of the things I’d buy for my “man-cave”.. Cheers, Gaz

A moped fitted with a 64cc 5 cylinder radial engine. Wonderfully silly. Moped Cheers, Gaz

Useful ice making tip for the hot weather. Bagged ice immediately sold out and we don’t have an ice cube tray. However, I found 3 metal foil food dishes in the cupboard. Light bulb moment. Put water in foil dish, place in freezer. Freezes down pretty quickly. Once frozen, extract and tip out...

It’s got a bright red interior, as well.. Cheers, Gaz

Very obviously derivative of the old LR Defender, but if they can make it reliable I think there’ll be a good market for these, given the old Land Rover’s following: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/ineos-grenadier-2021 Cheers, Gaz

Much along the line of the “What won’t you eat” thread, is there anything you can’t stand to drink? I’m thinking primarily along the lines of alcohol, but anything goes. Personally, I’m not really a spirits drinker, but scotch is the thing I really don’t like, for some reason. I realise it’s a...

Just looked in my wallet and the last time I bought petrol was over 2 months ago. Given that the Mini is still full and the BM has over half a tank, at this rate it’s going to be another couple of months (at least) before I need to go near the filling station. That’s if it’s still there by the...

Greetings, Citizens. Just musing on times past; I don't really do a lot of miles these days, but there was a time in my previous life when I used to travel a lot. My carbon footprint certainly wouldn't impress anyone these days. Apart from jumping on planes at the drop of a hat, I racked up a...

Well I've had enough of the Beetle going wrong. Having just shelled out the thick end of £500 to get the airbag light sorted and get it through the MOT, yesterday (a month down the line) the damn light comes on again!. So it's signed its own death warrant and I've had enough of running a beater...

As per title, really. Looks pretty tidy, mileage isn't stupid, MOT history seems OK etc. Just seems a little bit rich IMO, but I don't really know what they go for. Auto Trader logo Spec-wise it seems OK (not bothered about the bobby basic audio 20) but doesn't have heated seats? Were they an...

No affiliation, but I spotted this and it looks really nice. Posting just in case anyone's in the market.. Cheers, Gaz

Greetings, Citizens. Firstly, I apologise for the VW-based content below; I know some members are touchy about this. But the OBDII reader worked with my Smart car so there may be some shared DNA with Mercedes OBD systems. Or not, as the case may be - but I offer this up for free. YMMV. A...

This looks pretty frightening. I want it. Saved Adverts Cheers, Gaz

Greetings, Citizens. Since I bought the Beetle it's become increasingly apparent that it hasn't been well cared for over the years and the TLC I've been lavishing on it since I bought it is reaping benefits. I wouldn't mind betting that the insides are fairly sooty, and some detergents in the...

Went down to the local Tesco superstore to pick up a sandwich at lunchtime today, as you do. It's 5 minutes from work. Pulled into a parking space, noticed there was another Mini Cooper opposite me. Not a surprise, it's a good little car but there's tons of them about. By the time I get back...
