Yup, I’ve lived in Hong Kong for many years and trips to the scrap yards was a weekly holiday for myself and a good friend. It was heartbreaking to see so many good condition cars that looked like they were washed, polished, detailed and then......dumped. Second hand cars son’t have many followers here, in part…

Classiest title for a trim package? The “Masterpiece”. Tacked on in plastic to my 1994 E220's boot.

Great story; enjoyed every minute of it, and I honestly have a few tears coming on thinking of the love and compassion you’ve conveyed in telling Radar’s story. I too am a ‘car guy’, as I suppose lots of older men are. Before sensors, plastic, computer and all that modern rubbish now found on vehicles, messing about…

A bitter sweet memory of borrowing a girlfriend’s father’s Jensen Healy sports car for an evening trip to the beach. It was barely twelve years old but drove like it was held together with twine. Could hardly get up a slope, kept throwing itself to the curb and overheated every ten yards. The vinyl interior was…

At the end of a long day, when you’re dirty, tired, scraped up, covered in mosquito bites and half blinded by the dirty falling from the underside of your krapcar; it’s the only thing that’s going to cheer you up. And because you’re going to be doing all…

Having the dubious pleasure of having to live in that shit hole of a town for the previous fourteen years, I can tell you that watching this weekend event is the most boring of pleasures.

A mate was looking for another car. So there’s this near mint BMW 540 sitting in the dealer’s lot and he wants it out for a test drive. Only one car blocking it’s exit so my friend moves the S500 and I get to reverse the 540 out of the lot and on to the public road.

Terrific. I’ve got to get my Mercedes off the ground on all four wheels to change the gearbox oil; it’s doing that clunky stuff and a new filter/oil should cure it. Best I can think of is to drive the front wheels up on some granite blocks and then jack the rears off the ground and mount another set of granite blocks…
