    Loz's old 4200/GS look

    Yep, dreamers and a complete waste of time. British based Polish Businessman, who turned out not to have the money. He needed to sell his 2011 Merc first! Took him a week to tell me. So far, had someone who wants to P/X a Porsche Boxster S, and someone with a lovely Harley Davidson. I have...

    Loz's old 4200/GS look

    I have told all that have asked that it is registered on the cat register, but is 'condition checked', that means it was repaired properly. As the car only had a dinted wing and small dint on bonnet, i am amazed they wrote it off. Loz went well overboard, and replaced loads of items, that were...

    Activ8 oil additive.

    Just come across this thread. Read many things about oil friction reducers, like Active8 and Slick 50. Both good, but seen engines used with them, and once stripped down the only real place, the additives were, was in the oi filter! So if you want to coat your oil filter with these additives, go...

    Alternative Alfa.......bet ya never knew they made these!

    Both Fiat and Alfa Romeo, have had their names on most domestic products, over the years. I have seen an Alfa Vacuum cleaner, circa 1950. Fiat also made 4x4 Army vehicles, called the Campagnola. Andy.

    Fellow owner killed in crash on A5

    My mate works for the Paramedics. He tells me, about 70% of people, wear seatbelts incorrectly. Incorrect wear of a belt, can cause pelvic, chest, and shoulder/neck injuries. Some manufacturers, make it extra hard, to adjust the belt/seat correctly. Same goes with seat to steering wheel...

    Ferrari Concept

    Sorry, don't like it. Where is the Italian design? Looks too much like a Japanese concept. What a pity, some of the Italian houses have closed. All you need to do, is look at some of the fantastic concepts of the last 40 years, that have come out of the Italian houses. Andy.

    Bloody **** another yellow one...

    When i worked for Fiat, years back, it was not uncommon, to have cars, still in their delivery wax, registered for the road, upto 4 years, after they were built. Some of the cars, were canabilised, to fix other vehicles, so slowly, the cars interior, and exterior, would disappear! Near where i...
