    Can anyone check a cars history for me?

    Hello Guys, I'm in the market for a c63 Coupe. I have convinced myself that i should only buy from MB approved used car due to the warranty package they are offering. Im 30 and this is by far the most i have ever spent on a car so a little nervous. I have seen a car at a used car...

    High previous owners in AMG cars

    Hi all. Is high number of owners pretty common in C63s? I have inquired about several 2012/2013 saloons/estates and I'm surprised how many cars have 3/4+ previous owners. Would that put many people off (price depending I would imagine)?

    Can you actually hit your cars 0-60 in real life?

    Tried to do a timed run on an empty stretch of road that leads to a dead end in the sticks, away from any other cars with good visibility. The 32 should hit 60 in about 4.6 seconds but there's no way I can reach that ! First run the wheels just spun for the first 2-3 seconds and it was like 7...

    Why did Estate cars get originally called as such?

    Charles Morgan's fascinating thread on Mercedes brochures contained this Renault 4, described as an estate car that we'd probably call a hatchback now , but it got me curious about the Estate name. Were they were originally for landed gentry for driving around their estates? Or was there...

    Courtsey cars supplied by MB dealers

    I'm currently in a 65 plate C220cdi SE supplied by my local MB dealer as mine is in for repairs at the moment. Is it just my local MB dealer or is it all MB dealers...the courtesy car I have been given is poorly maintained. I get it that the car I have been given is a courtesy car with will...

    Radio controlled cars

    Hi I am restoring a few of my old electric RC cars for my son and I need some advice on what brands and models to look for. A lot of the brands that I used to use, seem to be no more. The two cars that I am restoring first are: Kyosho High Rider corvette and a Kyosho Optima. I need a...

    Why buy new diesel cars?

    I know this has been discussed within many other threads, but I still fail to understand why people continue to buy new diesel powered cars. I'm not really interested in whether or not they cost less to run (debatable) or provide greater torque (not something that most drivers will appreciate)...

    I'm absolutely devastated, both our cars smashed up.

    So tonight a dirt bike stopped outside our house, guys came in the garden with an axe and a bat and smashed my Merc and her Insignia up. Pretty much every window, pretty much every panel. What will happen with insurance as mine is pretty rare, and I think they'd struggle to find like for...

    Courtesy Cars Are Good For You

    Now, some of this is obvious, but stay with me. Service time for the E63, the car I drive day in, day out, so I drop the car and pick up the service manager's GLC 4matic. It's a nice change, I think to myself, as I drive off the forecourt - high driving position, giving excellent...

    Polishing Black Cars - a slightly "left field" approach

    Having been plied with a gourmet meal and copious amounts of alcohol, it appears I "volunteered" to detail my next door neighbour's new-to-him 8-month old Kia Sportage or should that be "Sportard" :D The Phantom Black metallic paint was in surprisingly good condition with evidence of only...

    Mercedes Autonomous Cars

    Interesting approach by Mercedes to the dilemma of who to save with self driving/controlling cars. For those that do not know theregister, just be aware that it is often tongue in cheek but usually factually correct. Mercedes answers autonomous car moral dilemma: Yeah, we'll just run over...
