    A little eye-bleeding Skoda content

    Those of a nervous disposition should probably wear sunglasses...or maybe a welding mask. As I mentioned in my "Man seeks E63 thread", things went in an unexpected direction when this fell in my lap - a Skoda Superb Sportline Plus 272 wagon. Needs a bit of a clean as since I collected...

    Man seeks W212 E63

    Definitely facelift, ideally I'd like an estate but I don't think that's going to be feasible. like for like it seems to be a 4k premium and I'm struggling to justify that when the saloon will do just as well. I'm discounting anything that's obviously rough or has been tuned, preferably buying...

    A familiar looking Cuprite E500

    I wonder, does the price go up by £1k every week? ;) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/394573070350

    Something Austrian for the weekend, sir?

    With the hunt for an E63 postponed, an itch still needed to be scratched so collected this on Wednesday.

    Facelift W212 or...

    ...LCI F10 M5? Things are in a state of flux in the Doodle household, and I'm getting an vehicular itch. The Cupra has reached the point in the lease where I can return it with negligible penalty, and both myself and Mrs D are getting tired of the lack of refinement. I'll get round to shifting...

    Calling time on 17 years with the SL

    Unfortunately Covid is partly to blame for this turn of events; I've spent the last year working permanently from home, and my management have indicated that we should continue to do so predominantly once things return to "normal". I can't really justify running 2 cars for this more limited...

    CLK. Future Classic, apparently.

    **** Turpin is alive and well in the MB parts department

    Quote arrived today for some parts, for the impending refurbishment work on the 129. Some delicious highlights include: OS window and the wing hangers for the Sacco panels are NLA. Wings are now circa £600 per side, even with club discount But the piece de resistance is the front brake...

    Ambitious 129?

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193134427022? For sale just as winter approaches with an interior that will unquestionably be divisive, no hardtop, zero provenance and therefore zero guarantee that mileage is genuine. The statement about servicing being mandatory to pass shaken is pure fiction...

    Wheel stud conversion kit

    I'm looking for some unusual hub conversion studs, M14 hub to M12 wheel (both 1.5 pitch). They're to make up a split rim reassembly rig, so they're not going to be under any pressure. I've seen a few purveyors of cheapo Chinese tat which would do the job, but they'll take ages to arrive and I...

    Back in black

    ...or it would have been if they hadn't had this blue one in stock. One month on from the Audi's self-immolation protest, I picked up its replacement this morning.

    How hard can it be...

    ...to get someone to change the gearbox fluid on an Audi? It's becoming clear that 14 years of SL ownership have left me spoiled and privileged. I've tried several different garages to get a quote and make a booking, without success. The local main dealer has no idea, just trolling out the...

    Defecting from the defection...

    With the impending return of the Zoe to RCI (not to mention its increasing levels of bork), it was time to find a replacement. I did think about another lease/PCP but this quickly fell by the wayside. The Fiesta ST won't be released in time, and although the Polo GTI has been, you wouldn't...

    SL73 on eBay

    MERCEDES BENZ SL73 AMG R129 *Made exclusively for the Sultan of Brunei's Family* | eBay But with a distinct reek of haddock about it. The number hails to a car breakers in Kent, but the pictures are stolen straight from Charles Ironside. The car has been off the road for 3 years judging by...

    CL216 - tell me I'm doomed

    Looking round Peter's car at the GTG has (perhaps rather foolishly) put the idea of a 216 into my head. I fear an AMG is out of the question, I understand the 5.5 biturbo to be touted as the better of the 63s but it's simply not in the budget. The 6.2 would be, but that brings in the...

    Part number lottery

    I need to put a new steering damper on the 129, and the EPC provides me with 2 equivalent part numbers for the same part; A1244630432 & A0004635332 However, on the Inchcape site the A000 number is half the cost of the A124, and for the life of me I can't work out why? :confused:
