I talked to a guy in front a luxury car dealer (Ferraris, Lambos etc) -and he said this belonged to the owner :drool: ....and it is not a mirror behind it!! ..he had two of those :x Both twin turbos with skirts and black windows...totally gangster 8-)

I found a couple of photos from the other year -and I suddenly remembered a rather "exiting" 8-) little trip, where I took the (rented!) cruiser on a jungle trip to pick up some interesting plants we had found. We had to cross a lively rock bed river :roll: -and then climb the tracks of the...

Hi folks, Thanks for all the interesting and inspiring write ups :thumbup: ...I've had to quit my job in order to read it all :? Well, since I bought The Grey Eminence in 2001 with only 7km on the clock I cannot blame others for lack of maintenance or abuse related failures :whistle...

Well folks, I am gonna show my cruiser while it is still "mint" looking. Since I had the car from new, I allways thought twice before challenging destiny while offroading...but now it's turning 10 years (19th April), it,s kind of written off so we decided that we are ready for unknown territory...

It will soon be time for changing brake fluid on the grey eminence. I recall doing that some years ago using the "semi automatic bleeding system" thats fitted to the 100. I dont quite recall exactly how the procedure was :oops: .....can anyone help on this -and maybe some other 100 owners will...
