Today was the final day of our big Classic Mercedes Road trip. We started at 6:15AM in Bombala where it was 2 degrees outside. We were down to 9 cars, as one of our drivers had some unexpected work commitments that came up, so had to leave his car in Melbourne. We stayed in the pub in Bombala. I generally only book places...
Today was the 2024 ACT German Car Show. I always enjoy this event, so was keen to go again this year. I had originally planned to bring my 1977 450SLC. However, it wasn’t back from the workshop due to a leak from the A/C. In its place, I took my 1987 560SEC, same as last year. Unlike last year, there was a fairly...
This weekend I drove to Canberra to attend the ACT German car show. I will cover the show itself in a separate article. I chose to drive down Saturday afternoon to properly attend the show. Canberra is about 320km from where I live in Sydney, and about a 3:30 drive. If I was just going to view the display, it would be possible...

MB Spares and Service closed down the spares side of their business a couple of years back to focus on the service and restoration. The spares business catered for both...
I was in Canberra this weekend, so I went along to see the annual German car show (organized by the various ACT clubs including the Mercedes Benz Club ACT), which was held in the carpark near the treasury building. it is normally held on the lawn in front of the lake but poor weather forced the change. Poor weather was also most...
I had to go to Canberra for work today, so I decided to take the 250SE on a road trip. I hadn’t taken it for a long drive for a while, and I thought a road trip would do it good. It was too cold to open the roof, but It was nice to get the car out on the open road....
