I'm looking for some guidance here. My daughter is a 19 year old second year student at University in Scotland and has been looking for part-time work to help support herself through her studies. She is an EU national but has lived in UK for a number of years, speaks excellent English, has...

Does anyone have any experience of using Darwin Insurance? I'd never heard of them but they are regulated by the FCA and Prudential Regulation Authority. They are way, way cheaper than anyone else on the camparison website and nearly £300 cheaper than LV, my present insurer, who has just...

Not on ebay but on Autotrader. Nice car but awful advert and poor photos. If it's a genuine sale the price would be reasonable for a 7 year old factory built Brabus but it's impossible to tell what Brabus has done to it. The advert says it's "silver" :rolleyes: Auto Trader logo

A team of drivers in an E63, using waze and a lookout to avoid Police detection, break the US coast to coast record for the Cannonball Run in 27hours and 25mins for 2825 mile trip. Well done E63. Three men break the record for the notorious Cannonball Run | Daily Mail Online

Mercedes submerged by tide after getting stuck in the sand on a north Wales beach | Daily Mail Online Rather unfortunate for the owner of the GLE who watched it get submerged by the incoming tide but I did appreciate the daily mail's description of "Mercedes Sea Class".

I've decided I need to get an air compressor for checking/topping up tyre pressures at home. I've had enough of broken filling station equipment and the puny plug-in cigarette lighter compressor thingy not being up to the task. So, ideally I need a compact, reliable, mains plug-in compressor. I...

I've been thinking for some time that I should change the E400 C207 coupe for something different. I've had four trouble free years with the car but just fancied a change. I've been looking at AMGs, Audi RS and BMW M cars and tried a few on the road. In the end I decided on a 2 year old, low...

The European Commission's annual accident report shows the safest and most dangerous places to drive in Europe based on number of accidents in proportion to population. The results might surprise some and dispel a few myths. So often we hear, for example, how good driving standards are in...

This morning my 16 year old daughter was waiting for the school bus when the Pope went by on his way to the airport and waved to her. How nice for her and something she'll always remember.

The BBC is reporting that all twelve boys and their teacher are now safely out. What a wonderful international effort and result. I'm amazed at the resilience of those young kids who looked so cheerful throughout their ordeal. It says something about the way they are brought up. Great news!

A friend of mine in the UK is looking for a W212 E class, preferably a 250 CDi auto. It can be pre or post facelift with reasonable miles and service history. Budget up to £14,500-15,000 for the right car. He lives in Shrewsbury and regulary travels to Southampton so anywhere in between will be...

Did MB ever offer photochromic paint, the paint that changes colour depending on the light and angle? I ask because today in Vilnius I saw a CL63 AMG in a green/purple colour. I know MG Rover offered it on their ZT/ZT-T V8 models but I rather suspect it's aftermarket, paint or wrap. UK reg by...

........for nose first parkers ;) Driver appears to make car float reversing out of spot | Daily Mail Online

Just a bit of lighthearted fun. Privilege insurance, together with an astrologer, looked at the behaviour of their clients and came to the following conclusions (sorry about the spacing): Aries Rudest drivers Drive flashy motors Most likely to have their car stolen Taurus...

So the CAA is going to investigate Ryanair's alleged practice of deliberately splitting up families. Ryanair denies it. Well, you would, wouldn't you Mr O'Leary. I just checked our family of 3 in for our latest trip to London and have seats 9D, 20C and 32D. We could only be further apart if they...

I read today that the controversial police chief Mr Bang'em, who has already proposed zero tolerance for speeding, is now proposing that motorists be encouraged to send in dash-cam footage of what they may consider to be bad driving. This proposal was apparently put forward at a police law...

After the interesting thread on "annoying driver habits" I wanted to say something about annoying dealer habits, but that's a different subject for a new thread. Here goes. Over the years most of my LHD cars have been bought in the UK and then taken abroad. The reasons being that they were...

I've just discovered that my "other" car is fitted with an EDR and, after reading about these devices, I presume both my Mercedes are too. I may be a bit behind the curve here but until today I had no idea of the existence of a data recorder that, in the event of an incident, will potentially...
