Check out the article on the Merkur XR4Ti by Hagarty - the collector car insurance people. I'm screwed - it says I was racing my Merkur at Watkins Glen - a violation of the insurance rules. It was a driving school and anyway at the time I wasn't insured by Hagarty! Good coverage for these cars, Paul

Here's the awards presentation of the cars avove. We showed this on the parking lot big screen Saturday night.

OK - just to close out this question, I ended up with another Bosch battery and got a pro-rated discount off the new one since it is warrantied for 96 months - 8 years! Thanks for all the suggestions but I wanted one that fit exactly as the OEM one did with the lip and hold-down clamp and the top st...

The last couple of batteries I have had were Bosch Group 47. Part number 47-600B. They fit well and look good under the hood. Bosch have discontinued that battery so I am looking for suggestions. The Bosch 96R-590B seems like it will fit although it doesn’t have the bottom hold-down ‘lip’ like the s...
