Can anyone tell me why the pictures are the same size as the thumbnails? I may as well not open them as when the reader opens the thumbnail the pictures are a viewable size.:confused:

Are you drooling yet Mick? It's over fifty years old, if you make your own sangas next week, instead of buying lunch, you may be able to afford it. :D

That Volvo 262's a nice looking unit, very well appointed.
There's two for sale in Australia at the moment apparently, ones just over 8K, the other 12K

[V8Ian]

Sorry fellows, I'm having computer issues, I need someone cleverer than me to fix it. :(

Marcus, how are you enlarging my pictures? I tried to do that on post one. :confused::confused::confused:

[V8Ian]

[V8Ian]

We're in pit (National Park) lane now.

[V8Ian]

[Chops]

Ian, before you post your post, click on "preview post" first, then click on the pick, when it comes up in new screen, right click on your mouse on the big pic, copy it, go back to your preview post and paste it where you want it.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think you can then cansell or delete your thumbnails, but the enlarged ones will stay there.

Hope it helps.

[V8Ian]

...

[Chops]

All these cars, bikes and even buggies too :o. Is there anything they dont race up there? I might have to put this on my bucket list I think :cool:

I did that in post one mate, the "enlargement" was the same size as the thumbnail. :confused:

A couple for you in the previous post. :cool:

[Chops]

I love these Cobra's, I'd almost give my left one for one. :angel:

Many years ago, a mate of mine was involved with the Robnell group down here and told me to show up at one of the rallies that was being held in NE Vic, based at Albury.
There I met the son of the guy who owns the Tattersall's thingy. He had his brand new Robnell Cobra there, looking gorgeous in Brittish Racing Green, and sounding horny as :D They all had to park out the back of the motel, with a few security guards around for good measure. Knowing of a few unsavoury characters in the area, I sugessted he park it in my garage for the two nights they were going to be there :D:D

When I went down in the morning to say g'day and see them on their way, he came to me and said he had wished he'd taken me up on the offer :eek: Some creep had keyed it right down both sides, warranting a full respray etc. He was so ****ed off by what had happened, he didn't come back to Albury that night,, he just went back home :( Poor bugger, I felt for him.

I'm rather partial to Cobras too, and '64 1/2 convertable 'Stangs as well. :cool::cool::cool:

[V8Ian]

I'm fed up with full stops.

[V8Ian]

*** That's all I have, the forum won't accept the video mp4 s that I took.
Jerry, let me know which ones you want, by post number and picture 1,2,3,4 or 5 and I'll email them to you.

[VladTepes]

That Merc is gorgeous.
Thanks for the bike pics too.


Was this thing even advertised? - first I've heard of it. I would have gone.

I advertised it on here I think, or was it Jerry? Either way,it was discussed.
Keep up Vlad, have you got Noosa in your diary? We could ride up together. :cool:

[V8Ian]

What Merc, Vlad?

[VladTepes]

Noosa? What's happening at Noosa and when?

Yeah that Merc on the first or 2nd page.

Noosa hillclimb in November, see Jerry's post.

I think he might just be talking about this one. The one you posted for young Mick,, who at this point is having trouble with a bottle of wine,,, so I'm doubtful the Merc would be in good hands with him ;)

I wonder if he's up and about yet. :wasntme:

[Mick_Marsh]

Oh, my head....

Everything is fuzzy.

Ta, Ian, That is a W112 300SE. I have one of those but it is a four door.
Mine is not anywhere near the condition of that one. It certainly is an exceptional example.
Mmmm.....
Very nice.

I'm guessing he would be wanting $80k or more. I'd be better off spending that on mine.

[V8Ian]

That Merc looked concourse to my untrained eye Mick. I used to have one in gunmetal/metalic blue, unfortunately, only a matchbox one. It was my favourite matchbox car for a long time.

Here you go Ian :)

I bet you had one too, Mick.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2015/09/591.jpg
How much do you bet? How much can I take off you?
I can't remember ever having a Matchbox Mercedes. In recent times, though, I have collected a Corgi 300SL Roadster and a Dinky 300SL Gullwing.

[V8Ian]

I'm surprised Mick, I thought you had an extensive collection of Matchbox models.

[Mick_Marsh]

I'm surprised Mick, I thought you had an extensive collection of Matchbox models.
I have a small box of Matchbox cars I had when I was a kid, well, what has survived.
I have a Franklin Mint Mini and XK120, three model cars that are about 8" long (SS-100, VC SLE & 4 door 300SE Fintail), the two 300SL Mercs as previously mentioned, three 1:43 101s, a 1:43 80" and an Aldi Discovery.
I'm looking for a VR.

Not what I would call extensive.
