    Cyclist knocked down and killed pedestrian

    Typical "lycra lout", the amount of these idiots I see going through red lights at junctions/pedestrian crossings, riding up onto the pavement to avoid traffic lights, it was only a matter of time before they killed someone! They moan about inconsiderate driver's but I see more cyclists flouting...

    Good or Bad

    I rode a motorcycle for five years before I started to drive, riding a bike is SO MUCH more dangerous than driving a car! You become paranoid about what's going on around you, you notice everything! That doesn't stop once you start driving, I still make sure that I make eye contact with drivers...

    Good or Bad

    I avoid motorways when possible, it seems today that just because you indicate that you are going to change lanes means you pull out behind the overtaking car, just a few feet after it has passed! If you leave the proper gap behind the car in front, 9 times out of 10 some t***t will fill it...

    Good or Bad

    Passing the advanced driving test is a good start.

    Whoa, I didn't know they went this fast

    The trouble is a***holes like that never get caught, but you go 5mph over the limit and I guarantee there's a policeman lurking close by ready to say "gotcha!".

    Dead C320!

    I've never seen a good fitting aftermarket seat cover and there's still no guarantee that they'll not get car sick! Mind you, the Saab's got half leather and they're fine with that, I think it's psycological, still, can't argue with SHMBO! Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk

    Drivers of cars over a decade old £10 toxicity charge to drive through central London

    Another way to kick the less well off! Most people with ten or more year old cars are probably driving them because they can't afford anything newer (me included), maybe the mayor should provide a reliable public transport system in London before clobbering it's inhabitants! Sent from my...

    Dead C320!

    Just had a look on ebay, plenty of leather interiors, not a lot of cloth seat's, but to be honest, I didn't think of that at the time, could have been a viable alternative! Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk

    Dead C320!

    Maptun stage 2, BSR Optiflow cold air intake, Longlife sports exhaust, Do88 intercooler, 270-280bhp so it's fun. Just miss the solid feeling of the Merc. Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk

    Dead C320!

    You would think so, wouldn't you! But no, my wife recently traveled in a friends 14 year old Audi A6, it didn't go well! Sent from my SM-G800F using Tapatalk

    Dead C320!

    No, it's the smell of the leather that does it! My daughter is the same, put them in a car with leather seats and within a few miles both are turning green! I know that some of the advertised Merc's will be MB-tex rather than actual leather but I've learned from experience that not everyone can...

    Dead C320!

    F**king myopic Audi drivers! My trusty (if slightly rusty), C320 has been written off by a geriatric A5 driver who wanted to occupy my lane whilst I was still in it! The resulting collision was enough to cause £3000 worth of damage to a car worth £2500 so the flying aubergine has gone to the...

    W203 c320 Coupe buying guide help.

    I owned a C320 saloon for 5 years and without a doubt the 3.2 litre V6 petrol engine is by far the most reliable of that era, I put over 100,000 miles on it with no motor problems at all. As long as the oil is changed regularly it's nigh on bulletproof, if a little heavy on fuel around town...

    W140 S320 - Noisy Tappets/lifters ???

    Hi, Try revving the engine gently if it's the purge valve the ticking will not increase with the engine revs, my C320 has the same noise, by all accounts it's the mount that's the problem and not the valve. Regards, Chalpkin.
