Hi All! Its been a while since I posted, but I thought I'd share my new Mercedes, bought on tuesday :) After nearly three years with my Lexus IS I decided to follow my heart and by the car I've wanted for a long time, A C300 Coupe. Took a long time to find the one I wanted, but last week a...

An Oxford study suggests tyres create more pollution than exhaust emissions https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a9400b37e3c3a8c47522029/t/5e62681e9d30e112279aaf50/1583507486738/EA_tyres_Final.pdf Food for thought isn't it!

Of no particular interest to others probably, but I've just ordered an SLC Final Edition to replace my SLC250d. I chose selenite grey and was told I'd snagged one of the last ones in the UK! Nice eh! (if it's true!) SWMBO loves the SLK/SLC and in the end I couldn't say no to the Final...

Does anyone know why on the C Class diesels (220 and 300) the exhaust system is one pipe and two fake blanked outlets in the bumper and on petrol models, including the new 1.5 EQ it has two real pipes and see through outlets in the bumper? At first I thought it was a diesel/petrol thing but...

Hi! Thinking ahead a few months, has anyone tried/bought the new C200 EQ mild hybrid? I'm looking at a possible C Convertible with the 200 EQ engine but none of the reviews have really described how it feels to drive in different circumstances, especially when coming from a 250d power plant...

Hey! Does anyone know anywhere I could hire, for a day, an SLC300? I'm thinking of buying one when my SlC250d goes back, but want to try out the engine first, but without troubling a dealer at this stage. The torque of the 300 petrol is way down on the 250d, but perhaps it's nicer to drive...

As I don't want to deal with the ******s at MB Milton Keynes any more and live not too far from Aylesbury, has anyone had any experience with Aylesbury Mercedes (Hughes) particularly in the service department? My SLC will need a B service in June... :)

Just venting really. Last few days my one year old, 2000 mile SLC has had some issues with it's vario roof. Basically, when activated, the bootlid opens then stops and thats it! No more opening sequence, just a dead switch, After about 20 minutes, restart the car and I'm able to close the...

Hi All! Just came back from looking at the new E Coupe at Mllton Keynes. What a lovely car! I think I've found a car I like more than the CLS that I was so crazy about a few years ago! Just wondering, does anyone here have one? I'm thinking specifically about the E300 petrol. Is the...

Bought this poster from IKEA and love it. But I can't identify the car. I thought it was a 60s Chevy Impala and then thought it could be a Ford of some kind. So far no joy! Anyone know? :)

This is one very special Astra...... :) Belgian motorist 'caught speeding' at 696kph in an Opel Astra

Hi All! Just putting a toe in the water here. We're in the process of moving house and I've decided not to take the Saab to the new house. It's basically a sound non-runner that was bought many years ago as a project car, but I never got round to doing it! :) I'm offering it as a...

In Autocar... :) Used car buying guide: Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG | Autocar How much would I love to have one of those!!

NISSAN AUTECH ZAGATO 3.0 STELVIO RARE CLASSIC AUTOMATIC 41000 MILES * 1 OF 104 | eBay One of the rarest cars. let alone Nissans, this Zagato styled Nissan I never even knew existed cost $200,000 when new, now up for around £30K! Interesting collectors car...

My new SLC arrived today! Wow, it's certainly more than just a facelifted SLK! Everything about it seems a bit more stylish, a bit more modern. Even the smaller, chunkier wheel feels better to use. The roof can now be opened on the move (up to 30ish) and all 4 windows can now be closed...

2005 Ford Fusion 2 1.4 tdci manual My late father's one owner little run around with only 29000 genuine miles! Currently SORN at my London address. A good starter car or urban warrior for someone :) Silver with scratches etc but mechanically sound but will need a new battery...

Just a quick question :) I noticed on my '15 SLK that when the doors are unlocked with the fob, the headlights briefly come on with dimmed DRLs. But when the car is running, the DRLs go off when the headlights (halogen) come on. Clearly the dimming circuitry is in place, so is there...

Have a very Happy Christmas everyone and a happy, healthy New Year!!

Just spent an enjoyable couple of hours "playing" with the new C Cab at Milton Keynes! All I can say is - WOW! This is a beautiful car in the metal (and canvas!) and seriously has the glamour factor. Quality seems faultless inside and out and the soft top is as tight and smooth as I've seen...

Yesterday I experienced my first C convertible! It was in Russia and was a C400 petrol. All I can say is, this car is FABULOUS! In UK I would probably go for the C300 which I'm sure is adequate for our roads etc, but in all respects, from ride quality to interior fitments, this new car is...
