    Nearly bought a classic Mercedes today.

    Unfortunately Mrs Ted ‘persuaded’ me that we didn’t need it and couldn’t afford it. Unlike the crap, sorry necessary accoutrements that she needed.

    [SOLD] Unexpectedly available!

    The lovely MX5 is back up for sale Mrs Ted loves the car but cannot get on with the clutch/accelerator balance on takeoff - especially on hills. It is a little sharp, but I was fully used to it within a day. She now doesn’t like driving it so it has to go. It is the 2 litre sport tech with...

    RIP John Dodd

    Saw this today - a true maverick and a legend. I first heard about ‘The Beast’ in the early seventies and didn’t believe it thinking it was just one of those urban legends. He must have been one hell of a guy to have a few drinks with...

    This doesn’t look too good.

    This looks like Jay’s place. I hope all are well and there isn’t too much damage https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/in-your-area/pictures-firefighters-battle-garage-workshop-25726040 https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/in-your-area/explosions-heard-mercedes-garage-fire-25728102

    In praise of the W206

    Went down to see SIL today, and she has just swapped her GLC for an ‘AMG’ spec S206 It’s a lovely lovely thing. Looks fantastic and the interior is a special place to be. I’ve not been a great fan of the c-class since the w202 - the w203 was forgettable, the w204 was ugly and the w205 was bland...

    Covid test

    Mrs Ted was feeling a bit off so took a covid test. While she wasn’t looking, I sneaked a red biro line on it. My arm is now bruised. Happy Christmas everyone!!!

    What would you do to restore Mercedes reputation as a ‘Premium’ manufacturer?

    So, following on from this thread https://forums.mbclub.co.uk/threads/how-mercedes-is-losing-its-prestige-image.278248/ What do you think that Mercedes should do to restore their reputation as THE premium manufacturer - better than the other German marques or Japanese or British premium brands...

    No longer own a Mercedes

    So today we sold the SLC, and for the first time in over twenty years there is no Mercedes in the Ted family. There were a few reasons for selling. It really wasn’t getting the use that it should. Mrs Ted doesn’t like long journeys in it and we generally do a couple of trips to Scotland, and a...

    POI on Audio 20 5*1

    Does anyone know if it is possible to select the POIs displayed on the map on Audio 20 5*1 on my slc? I can only see a way of enabling/disabling as per https://photos.app.goo.gl/dELZiJcVW6YLBYcH7 under Settings/map display. Also is it possible to add personal pois? I’ve tried adding speed cams...

    For those that like TomTom go

    and I know it isn’t everyone’s favourite, but I found it really good on a 1200 mile round trip recently. It is now supported on carplay which should be a useful improvement. https://photos.app.goo.gl/7YeDMv3XDoMRtmpT9

    Review of Apple Carplay in a Mercedes

    I was looking forward to using Carplay in my SLC so I hope this review helps anyone considering it. It’s easy to activate and from there on it can be started as soon as you plug in the phone to the usb port - or you can set it to be manually started. The screen then shows any carplay enabled...

    Mercedes phone cradle and phone

    works with phone prep and uhi adaptor. This is the cradle and refurbished phone. You will need to purchase a sim - I used a payg one. This uses the inbuilt aerial in the car so always has a good signal, and will display texts in a Comand head unit. There is also a charger should you want to...
