Junkyard Dive | 1996 Oldsmobile Eighty Eight LS (My Old Car)
It's not often you get to visit your old car's grave...
This is genuinely one of the best cars I've ever owned; second only to the Mercedes 190 E. That said, it's the most comfortable by a long shot.

Junkyard Dive | 1991 Buick Skylark Custom (Low Mileage)
zhlédnutí 342Před 21 hodinou
This was actually a really nice car, especially on the inside. And it only had 125,000 kms! Apart from surface rust, it seemed to be in really good shape; way too nice to end up in a junkyard. In fact, if it had been on the market instead, I might've bought it. PS: Spot the Olds 88 behind it; that car will feature in the next video.

I liked this car. Yes, old Cadillacs have their flaws (like the gutless engines), but they have the kind of style and comfort that today's cars will never have.

I officially want one. PS: See if you can spot the Cutlass Supreme and the Achieva in the background ;)

Comfortable and classy, unlike today's cars. These GM C/H-bodies are really nice. I'd definitely buy one.
Knight Rider Display at Auckland Sky Tower
zhlédnutí 3,2KPřed rokem
I got a nice surprise when I visited Auckland in September 2022: Getting to see a display of 3 KITT replicas to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Knight Rider. Funny enough, 2 of the replicas came from Christchurch. One of them is used as a fundraiser for Child Cancer NZ; you can find it on Facebook: kittforkids/. I grew up watching the re-runs in the early 2000s, so this was quite...
Outtakes | 190 E Walkaround

Not everything went to plan when I filmed my walkaround video. Here are the faux pas I made during filming. The music is "Floaters" by Jimmy Fontanez, found in the CZcams Audio Library. You might recognise it from the channel Technology Connections.
Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.6 | Walkaround, Start-up, Revs

Here's a tour of a classic Merc, a 1990 190 E 2.6. At the time of upload, this was my personal car. This video showcases the car's interior features and samples of the engine sound. It features a 2.6L M103 I6 making 160 hp and 220 Nm of torque. Modifications to this car include a muffler delete, opened air intake, Black Diamond performance brake setup, NGK plugs & leads and a custom painted val...
Pitlane Showcase | Historic Touring Cars & More | Skope Classic 2023

Here's a pitlane tour of my favourite category at the Skope Classic Historic Touring Cars. Funny enough, the leaky Toyota ended up breaking down in the race later on. Also, I happen to have a Scalextric model of the no.15 Ravaglia BMW.
Vintage Car Display (Starring 1916 Locomobile) - Skope Classic 2023
zhlédnutí 140Před rokem
During the lunch break, the Vintage Car Club displayed some cars on the track, including a 1916 Locomobile 90 HP Speedster. I was in the right place at the right time to get a video of the Locomobile starting up when I arrived! It was restored in 1997 at a cost of US$200,000. It has an 8.6L 6-cylinder T-head engine, with the cylinders cast in pairs.
I Took the 190 E to the Race Track!
zhlédnutí 76Před rokem
I finally got to take part in an Autocross event in my 190 E 2.6! This is something I've always wanted to do, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The footage is from the two best runs on each track, which count towards the final standings. I came 37th out of 46 competitors. I also completed every single run cleanly, which I'm quite proud of. Besides, I didn't go there to win; I went there to have fun....
Changing the brake light on a VW Transporter TD5
zhlédnutí 2,9KPřed rokem
The brake light lens on my Dad's work van broke, so he got a new one from the local Volkswagen dealer. The replacement was a complete light unit, so he fitted the whole thing while I filmed it. Music: "Stranger Danger" by Francis Preve; from the CZcams Audio Library
Formula 5000 at Ruapuna

Some classic Formula 5000 cars at the 2020 Wigram Revival at Mike Pero Motorsport Park. They sound much better than today's F1 cars, in my opinion! Unfortunately, it was quite windy that day; sorry about that.
Driving the 190 E Around Hagley Park

An afternoon drive around Christchurch's Hagley Park in late autumn.
It's not a Hillman..
we still have a 93 coupe de ville we use as a daily driver...
Thank you for sharing this video. That is a loaded 1992 Ninety Eight. I own a 1996 Ninety Eight loaded. They made upgrades and changes in 1994 model year. The grille was changed, the instrumentation panel, the door trim panels were upgraded in 1994, the 3800 V6 was upgraded in 1995 model year, and seats were redesigned in 1994. The power adjustments went up to 8 way. The took the lock trunk cover off in 1993 unfortunately. I miss that. I like the color on this one. It was one of the colors I wanted. Mine is a dark green gray. When they stopped making the Ninety-Eight after 1996 model year, they took the grille, the seats and the interior and put them on the Eighty Eight nd had a model called Oldsmobile Regency. It last two years( 1997-1998 model years). Thank you for sharing. The Eighty Eight shared a lot of parts with the Ninety-Eight. You explained the difference. I saw the other Oldsmobiles in the background.
I love those downsized Caddys...... Good job on the video!
Ta lampa nie ma uszczelki tak jak oryginał bedzie woda ciekła
Perfecto
Thanks for the video. I had a similar problem and bought an after market one from ebay. The problem was that the ebay light was completely straight with no curve to it. When I screwed it in there was so much tension that the thread stripped and one end popped out. Just wanted to check if the OEM product has a slight curve to it to follow the shape of the tailgate panel.
I love the wire wheels on the black BMW
Good quality car & designed, c’mon a quality paint job cost more than the car is worth. Only model worth fixing up is the 16V but yeah thats another story.
I bought one of these (190E 2.6) new in 1989. Absolutely loved it. Was really sorry to give it up at the end of the lease. In many respects, I have not had another car that I liked as well since then. Fun to see it again!
205/55 tires wouldn't hurt
I really wanted to get 16" Monoblocks with 225s :D

Any idea how to get the trim off?
I'm afraid not. There's no door trim on this van since it's a commercial-spec model.
