I just use an old Electrolux vacuum with a crevice tool and small cushion head. It doesn’t have those big plastic handles on the end of the hose that the new ones have, just a short solid tube section so I can get Easily to all areas of the car and stays in the garage. For the Alcantara you can definitely use the vacuum, just guide the end of the crevice tool slightly above the Alcantara to “lift up” the fibres. For your steering wheel and gear knob you can use a specialist Alcantara/fabric cleaner and microfibre and lightly dab any of the heavier soiling and then vacuum up the fibres.

This is nearly as much fun as the ubiquitous “which oil is best” 😱

Good tip JB...I have seen this first hand and given it is such a quick and easy job it’s hard to understand why it’s not done. In saying that I check mine every wash and I’m betting yours are spotless!

Hey Steve, I supply all parts to OPC which saves you good money and they have been happy to use. I also do what i can do myself easily and quickly (as said the filters are a 15min job to do both and I also do any of the out of ordinary items like replacing the clutch switch (not pleasant when the better half calls saying the car won’t start and is telling her to depress the clutch...) Another item worth considering getting done is the serpentine belt if it hasn’t been done, I think it’s recommended to be done every 4 years

^^^ Always enjoy a good road trip and even better when it involves picking up a car and learning all about it. Enjoy the ride ahead 👍

Logically it should go but when ever has logic been a part of a politicians decision especially when it earns so much revenue for them and DJM got it spot on. For all the reasons above it won’t disappear anytime soon

Well it had been a hectic start to the year but I managed to find some time to put a new set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2’s on the car, get a full 4 wheel alignment and the major annual service all done over the last 6 weeks. What I hadn’t found time to do though was take the car for a drive other than a short hop to the Yarra valley wineries 2 weeks ago for a family gathering (and that was a nightmare as the traffic was absolutely atrocious 🙁) So this morning the forecast was good, what we had planned fell through at the last minute and I knew a few crew were going to be gathering down at Mornington so I thought an early run in the car is just what was needed. So out to the garage, off with the cover, key in the ignition and... WARNING FLAT TYRE! Of course it the rear as usual and with less than 200kms on it! Not quite the morning I had hoped for... 😤

What an absolutely fantastic looking event and well done to all involved in making it happen. I’m envious of everyone who managed to attend who managed to take in all those great cars. It was just bad luck that it was the same weekend as our annual trip to Jindabyne so I was enjoying some very quiet roads up in the high country

Saw a lovely dark blue 993 Carrera tip in Mitta Mitta on Sunday... was it anyone here enjoying the great roads up there?

Love that colour and contrast brilliantly with the red brakes and tail lights 👍

BS! Its a K Jet. The right money for a RHD or LHD MFI in good shape is around 300. This is not a 75 Carrera. Nice car by the looks of it but Lorbek are taking the piss. Your spot on there Sven, USA never got the mfi 2.7 Carrera in 74-75 due to their epa requirements at the time

Plus 1 for Dan, he is local to you and is extremely particular so definitely worth a call

White Porsche is always a classic combo including gt3’s, exceptions... maybe if your stumping up for an RS or something from the 70’s in which case go large in the colour stakes

Like Steve been using Mr Sheen (pot pourri being my personal fav) on my bikes for over 25 years and never had any issues, in fact the number of times I have used the tradional suds and water wash (on them) in that time would be in the very low 10’s (yes I’m not counting the dirt bikes here!) My oldest bike is 18 and it still looks (and smells) great 😁

I have many c tek charges and wire them direct to the batteries with the comfort connectors. Older ones are over 10 yrs old and are used constantly and never had any issues... and much cheaper than buying new batteries. I only have the sport Chrono and that pretty much does nothing, I believe the plus has a few more functions
