Got a bit carried away at a recent classic auction - 99 SLK 230, 30k miles and full MBSH for its first 20 years. Best of all, no rust to speak of and dinitrol’d underneath.

Boy, that looks great!!

Not taken delivery yet but I’m adding this Mk1 MX5 to the stable. I’m going to keep it on the steelies for a trad sports car look. I also want to learn to do some of the fettling myself, as I’ve...
Before my ceramic coat I was paranoid about my paint. After, I was paranoid about my ceramic coat. Plus ca change!!
That was my first thought. The vids from the garage have been a real eye opener. Scary!

Treated the winter wheels and wing mirrors to some gloss black as I was getting a bit bored with it. Quite pleased with the look and disguises the fact I’ve dropped down from 20” to 18” for the...
How did you find Steve to deal with? I reckon I only have 25% success rate in getting a response from him regardless of the form of communication used. Most recently I put in an Ebay bid on one his...
Very nice, Kirk. I almost looked at one of these near to me but when I researched them they seemed like nothing but trouble. What's your experience?

A friend of mine is selling his if you want me to put you in contact.
Ha ha! Great choice, Steve. I'm a little surprised as I thought you were set on the Abarth. Which engine/gearbox combo did you go for?
