Hello, there is a petition in the Bundestag to abolish the vehicle tax. Here is the link:http://itc.napier.ac.uk/…/view_petition.asp?PetitionID=397 many greetings, Johannes

Hello I am currently preparing an old Mazda 626 built in 1988. Now I have a problem and I would need your advice. How would you proceed with these rusts.

………….tja, how should I start…………in one of the barns of my landlord there is a red, old dusty something….placed now almost 24 years ago……….the tacho, as it was to be seen knows 54,000 KM from it could also be considerably more, since it is a 5-digit meter……….it is a dry location ( hay and straw )…no viechzeugs far and wide in sight….and although I am absolute Benz – fool, this car has always done it to me…… ….my mother used to drive one like that. Now call me a fool……….it’s…I almost don’t like to say it here……………an almost stainless R4 GTL….by Renault…(except shock bars) The horror is probably lurking in the daylight…….a real cult car, as I find in the meantime……and actually worth rebuilding it again. A part carrier is still behind it………………. But this is something completely different now, has of you already jema nd some experience gained with it, what might the spare part – location look like ? How do I gently reanimate a carburetor – motor ? With boarding and new battery it will probably not be done here ! Keys and papers are all available Of course with crutches – circuit and comfortable camping seating ………….and huge storage space…… Not that I want to become personally insulting now,…but has anyone of you ever dealt with such a ladle ? green z, Steff

Hello everyone! since I think that the community can help me further here, I turn to you: the father of my friend wants to sell his mercedes oldtimer and asked me to inquire what the car is about worth. here the data about the vehicle: mercedes 250SL Pagoda Year of manufacture 1967 Bronzemetallic 115,000 Condition of the vehicle according to his specifications: 3 what do you think, how much the car CIRKA is worth? would be very happy to answer! with friendly greetings n from Austria ottakringer

On the other hand, every morning, when I start my record C the same problem: He only stays with Muehe (also with Choke) and if he is running and I want to go off, he hardly takes on gas and acceleration under load ends with death of the engine…. which then gets started even worse again. IF I have managed to get the engine warm then suddenly acceleration sets in and everything is tutti again. What can that be? r maybe some heating element that doesn’t work (does he have such a thing at all??) or is there a hose for the intake air preheating? Can anyone possibly post a picture of what it would look like??? Thank you very much in advance!

There you have to work hard to restore your car, and what happens: on the A.B. you almost burn off your car because of this shitty Ami electric. Well, maybe everything should have torn out and relodged. Afterwards you are always smarter. How do you protect your valuable mobile kit? A friend of mine had once deleted with a commercial fire extinguisher. The fire was out, but the engine room looked like hell. Can I also imagine that e I have now installed a so-called extinguishing gas release device and am completely satisfied with it. Installation was simple. I tried this before with a small sample fire in our garbage can;-). Works perfectly and looks almost like a small nitrous oxide injection. I let myself be told that the stuff is also harmless for electronics, so it is also suitable for HIFI systems. As I do on the W ebsite, you can also fill it with CS gas and connect it to any alarm system. I’m not trying that out with this stuff now;-) But maybe I’ll build up a part of it to the Harley. Tell your experiences about cable fire and burglary/theft or what you’re doing against it. Gruss block-headman can be posted here on the left? securityproduct.de

Meal! Let’s ask, I’ve seen x times in the oldtimer market and/or practice ads of these hard rubber coasters to prevent the stand plates. Since Christmas is at the door, I can’t think of anything more for the old man, that might be a thing he’s happy about! Does anyone ever have a link at hand? Sit in the office and find nothing in Google! Thanks and a good start a week! cu chris

Servus together, I (Jg. 1961) am new here. Therefore short introduction: car-crazy since I can think, unfortunately since 1966 without own car grew up in the family. Therefore I made so early it went the driver’s license and owns since 1979 own cars. Let’s see if I still bring them all together: VW Passat Bj. 75 or so, Peugeot 304, VW 411 Kombi, VW Jetta I, VW Jetta II, VW Passat Limo Bj. 86, Skoda Octavia Bj. 99-the only new car, Citroen C5 I – horny car,if it’s n I was in the workshop, currently Seat Altea XL TDI. My own age, my life and my fin. Situation tell me: if not now a vintage car, when then? Since I can’t do anything myself except tyre, air filter and spark plug change, I already said goodbye to my dream car, a “goddess” (Citroen DS). My current ideas go towards a European saloon of the 60s/70s that is suitable for everyday use. Price max 1000€ (may also whom Before my father died in 1966, we had an Opel record A. That’s why this vehicle is currently the only concrete idea on my otherwise empty wish list. Therefore, my request: can you tell me a few models worth buying from your experience? For me it’s worth buying: robust technology, relatively simple and inexpensive spare parts, no nightmare for my (free) friend. I’m looking forward to receiving answers!

Hello, my name is Vefa and I finally start my training as a motor vehicle mechatronics engineer on 01.08. Now I want to treat myself to this one or the other time. I am a true oldie lover. The problem is not only that I find so many vintage cars pretty and can not decide so much, but also that I unfortunately also don’t have a good overview of the maintenance costs. Of course I find a lot on the Internet (www.autokostencheck.de and google) but basically I need a little help. So my budget for the car is up to 1500€(with or without TÜV and repairs I like to do that forges one together^^ but should still be manageable). I prefer an American car e.g. a Ford Sierra built 1982-1987 V6 approx. 60 hp 2.3l diesel you get after all already for 600-1000€ with TÜV. But the optics and above all equipment does not agree with me. So it should already be at least black or red fabric cover nothing grey or b andes. Better there would be still leather. Otherwise what I always like is a lot of chrome e.g. with the old Mercedes models on the windows and outside the decorative strips that I find really just nice. But I hate Mercedes because of this stupid idea that you put on the handbrake with the foot so that is a total supergau with me everything dies inside. Whatever comes to mind an older Ford sample or Chevrolet Camino^^. Well unfortunately not in my price range. So the Ba Ujahr should simply be up to 1990 with American cars and up to 1985 with European cars (find those from the 90s etc. already strange. But now to the two most important points. First of all the technology: It just has to have a manual transmission, a V6 or even V8 would be fantastic, on PS enough to me already 50-70hp that is enough for me is more the cruiser and not Raser and otherwise a nice grim sound. As second and most important place comes the maintenance. So money is at mi r deficient. I would have about 500-600€ max. monthly available for the car(villeicht still with side job more if I still get something but still look for). I do all the repairs anyway if something still needs to be done or wanted to be done. Otherwise it should be a really simple everyday Youngtimer/Oldtimer. I want to have a car with which I can really drive to vocational school and work every day and where I also have fun driving with it. of course I can insert that I am already used to older models. It should be possible in diesel version e.g. the consumption should be just under 10 liters. Would be nice there 7-8 liters. So I thought about a Trabi too. Because it has always an eye-catching oldtimer look, you can still replace some with chromed parts even though it already has some chrome, it really costs very little in the maintenance(only 500€ annually in Versicheru It consumes only 7-8 liters (with a so-called conversion to the spare set even 6-7 liters), you can install a smaller steering wheel thus you can switch more easily. But Contra reasons would be there for me the circuit and I don’t really like that with the switch grif behind the handlebar, the size would be a problem I am 1.75m tall and a little rounder there are villeicht difficulties, it has a little too little PS with its 26hp there you could but with e in the bigger carburetor a little more out or through the rally engine with around 85hp (which costs then but then also a lot of money) Tüv there is still the possibility for it would not be taken. Otherwise I just thought to myself new tires for 50€ the piece on it, the pile of chrome on it (also the engine compartment should partly painted and have more chrome), chromed wheel caps on it, smaller sport steering wheel on it, leather seats even by black leather changed (sometimes with a saddler pulled out n he has shown me something so sewing own seats is trendy xD), a pearl white painting(finds that the old paint always so funny so dirty somehow) well so few little things still should finally become unique hehe^^. So at the moment there is for me the following selection: 1.choice Ford Sierra 2,3l 65PS V6 engine 2.choice Trabant 601 1l 26 hp What else can you recommend?? -Maximum 500€ monthly in maintenance(lover 300-400€) -beautiful ware V6 or V8 engine or a Merikanisches Auto -Verbrauch bei 6-9Liter -Preis ca.1000€ each € is needed max. 1500€ I am looking forward to an answer already =) Oh yes my personal dream car is of course the Ford Mustang GT year 1969. Of course only a dream until now I have looked on the Internet acceptable cars are already available for 700€ so after the training nice save and then it belongs to me=). But no matter I need a good everyday old / youngtimer that villes me even my whole life accompanied should definitely last a few cents of years.
