Smile Thankyou

Thanks so much for the welcome, much appreciated. Took the 2.6 out on a Targa Tasmania stage on the weekend and it went surprisingly well, although it certainly reminded me of some pressing suspension issues I need to take care of! This morning the R129 decided to lock it's ADS suspension into sport mode, so looks like it will be an interesting week. I love the R129 but it's certainly testing me at the moment! I will forgive it anything though after listening to that M119 growl!

Some more R129 pictures for your perusal

Great condition for such an early car (1989) Recent problems include the aforementioned ADS and the main and bow cylinders expired recently....all part of the fun!
