    CLS55 AMG vs CLS350 CDI Grand Edition?

    We are all different and for me the AMG is not worth the extra running costs. But I do >20k miles a year and value comfort, ease of drive and reliability over outright performance. Sat at 80mph on the motorway being in an AMG makes little difference imho.

    The Football Thread

    So Utd floating on the SE and effectively raising cash from many wealthy owners doesn't count then ? Interesting ! Without Abramovich and Mansour the PL would have been a one horse race most seasons.

    Going to look at an Audi A8 W12

    Welcome to the A8 club, however, mine is but a lowly 3.0tdi ! I wasn't sure about the 21" Rotors on my car but they have really grown on me and I must agree that the ride is still good despite the massive wheels.

    Anybody else sick of the TV coverage of the royal wedding already?

    Wish them all the best but the 'news' coverage is ridiculous. if only the BBC would cover the pressing issues of our time in such detail.

    The Football Thread

    With odd exceptions the best teams have generally had the biggest budgets. United didn't win 20 titles on a shoestring. Nothing new.

    The Football Thread

    Only just seen this. 1. The 'drubbing' was 5-0 2. The CL 'the best club comp in the world' ? It's a knockout comp. and has been won (fluked) by several teams who were far from being the best. A league is by far the best competition to show who is the best team and I think you'll find that the...

    Damage to car going over speed bump.

    My C Class was without doubt the worst car I've had for this.

    Damage to car going over speed bump.

    I used to scrape my W205 all the time. One of the reasons I wanted a car with adjustable air suspension, although I find I don't generally need to jack the car up. I think the C Class is a little too low for many speed bumps

    Audi A8

    I think in truth I had become spoiled by driving more modern machinery. I had lusted after an E55 for many, many years and had owned a S211 E320CDI but the experience was for me a let down. Don't misunderstand me the performance of the car was epic and the looks, the looks ! I still believe the...

    Audi A8

    Thanks for the post. Totally agree with you on the D5, I don't feel any desire to own the newer model. Love the matrix LED's I'll give the remapping some thought. Do you have any experience with remapping the 3.0 tdi or any recommendations ?

    Audi A8

    So many cars come equipped with privacy glass these days but it doesn't bother me either way. I think it's quite an anonymous looking car which most people wouldn't look twice at and I like that. I think most people would mistake it for an A4 unless they looked more closely and realised the...

    Audi A8

    Interesting indeed. My car seems to be standard apart from the wheels. If I continue to be as happy with the car as I am now I can see me changing for the 4.2tdi at a later date although in truth the 3litre gets me into illegal speeds too quickly as it is ;-) These cars appear to be a fantastic...

    Audi A8

    Not been on here for a while but with a little spare time I thought I'd give a brief update on my latest car. Following my brief dalliance with Alps E55 AMG (great car but not for me) I decided I needed something smooth and comfortable with air suspension (as much to deal with the ever...

    New Owner of Well known E55 AMG

    Hi All, Just a quick note to let you all know that I am the new owner of Alps E55 :bannana: It was a pleasure to deal with Alps and as for the car :devil: The car, as many of you know, is beautiful and 'fully loaded' is for once an accurate description. The challenge for me is to...
