fast

Ive just read through these posts on M5 forum,very sad. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=111454

I've had auto wipers on other cars and they always switch to the second speed when it pours down. On my W210 they only do speed one, even my son's 306 goes to full speed. Is that right?

Dont know if this has been on this site before but i have just seen some merc speedo's showing silly speeds.:eek: :D :D http://500sec.com/speedopix.htm My favourite though..... Which merc do you think this speedo belongs to?;)

Well, five out of nine Jiffy Lubes visited charged for work not done, I'd love to see how the UK equivalents compare. On certain cars that might actually be a good thing ! I'd hate to let them lose on a German automatic transmission with their flushing machine...

Dear Experts: My 1990 300E 2.6 140k mile car, stalls when I step on gas fast. It runs fine when step on slowly. I suspected fuel filter, but it wasn't that. When I look at the air flow meter, while open up the throttle suddenly, it closes up immediately after it opens up. It also idles...

An interesting question posed on Jalopnik. Is it "more fun" to drive a slow car fast or to drive a fast car slowly? Think Fiat Panda 1100 down a quiet twisty B road :) or an SL 55 AMG in heavy traffic on the M25. :( Is it a tough call or obvious? :confused:

Hurry or you will miss this one!!!!! 1. Two very dedicated owners. 2. Guaranteed no rust as its body panels are mostly aluminium. 3. Gearbox needs attention (presently in limp mode) 4. Very unique badging. 5. 0 to 60?, mmmmm, probably before the clock even starts! 6. Only 1.8 Mil...

Found this over at the Ringers forum: We have just replaced the gearbox in an E63 Estate (within a morning) for a certain Mr J Clarkson (Orders from Milton Keynes). Seems there was talk of Manchester Airport and a number of other high powered estate cars the other night...

It seems any major car maker can now provide performance way beyond what anybody realistically needs in modern traffic and with speed limits all over the place. But it doesn’t stop manufacturers carrying on the absurd arms race. VW have unveiled a Golf faster than a Ferrari Maranello. The...

Is this driver clever or stupid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S7FUbkbaeQ&mode=related&search=

On an "enthusiastic" drive back from Cambridge today I noticed on bumpy, fast sweeping bends the rear of the car seemed to move, not a lack of grip (was there in abundance :cool:) more like the body shifting over the suspension, like a worn link or failing shocker. Also noticed on bumpy...

there were no speed limits on the motorway?

Here is the latest incarnation of the SL. 6.3 litre bi turbo, 730 bhp. Sadly restricted top speed. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/202250/mercedes_sl_on_the_charge.html But why would you then want to pay extra for this...

Over at 200mph.net one of the members got a new club record the other weekend at Elvington. 265.4 MPH :eek: :eek: :eek:

For all you "driftin" petrolheads out there. :D http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/thefastandthefurioustokyodrift/ and DONT try this at home children!! The movie site's not too bad either and is HD for those with a HiDef Screen and one of these networkable HD DVD's http://www.snazio.com/

Sparkyspost about Jeremy Clarkson highlighted a habit I'm using more and more. I watch TV programmes in FF. This saves a great deal of time 7 saves me from having to listen to endless tedious waffle and watching things I'm not interested in, such as last night's Top Gear with the...
