It's been a while since we last got together at MB World, and even longer since we last gathered for Xmas Lunch. The plan is as usual for these events; to gather at MB World at around 11:00 - discuss cars in the car park - retire to the showroom for a quick warming coffee and inspection of...

Or rather its modern day descendant BBC News channel's CLICK . This week as always was interesting taken as a whole. But the section on autonomous drone tech was mesmerising. :eek: 11 mins 45seconds in. BBC iPlayer - Click - 22/10/2016

Can't get over the performance of this car. Does all types of driving brilliantly well. Just cruising or on the loud pedal it's just epic. Having owned my car now 7 months still very smitten with mine. Having owned quite a few different v8 performance cars and 4X4 this is by far my favourite. I...

Hi everyone, Although I have been a member for a while, I have not posted any messages, but have used your great advice to sort out niggly problems with my C200- so a big thanks!! I have a few questions as my baby is getting a bit old, which I will post in relevant forum. Thanks again...

I rarely post on here but like to follow the going ons in the Mercedes world. I would like to share my thoughts of this car and would be interested to have some feedback. In my opinion the interior makes this car, with the Alcantara and leather everywhere and the Petronas Livery which...

Went to Benz World yesterday, before going to the Brooklands Museum. Benz world had a good selection of old MB's to look at and did a decent job of giving a history of the brand. We had something to eat in the restaurant there, which is reasonably priced, whilst watching members of the public...

It might seem a while away but with holidays and other events taking priority during the summer months, the next GTG at MB World will be on Sunday 21st August. As usual we will gather in the car park on the left hand side near the main entrance from 11:00; chance to chat, meet new people and...

It's back to the usual routine again after a string of great events round the country. That means turn up in what you like - other marques welcome. The usual programme of meet in the car park at 11:00. Chat about cars and put the world to rights until time for coffee and the obligatory tour of...

I'm currently not a fan of F1. I'd rather watch paint dry. My must watch is Moto GP. Anyway, as reported this morning on BBC. Quote. "A power-unit problem for Hamilton meant his difficult start to the season continues. His 17-point deficit to Rosberg could grow further on Sunday." A power...

World T20 final this afternoon. England V West Indies, is anyone else going to be watching? I've got a few mates coming round and have a couple of cases of Peroni chilling down just in case we get thirsty.

What is the plan for next Sunday, what time are people planning to arrive? Looking forward to meeting folks who make it along to MB World next Sunday.

GT looking menacing with the weather about to change.

I have a 63 plate E330 Hybrid, from a 61 Plate E250. Is it me or is there not much real world difference in economy? I was expecting something like a 15% improvement on urban, but it's nearer 5% It does, however drive like a dream. I don't know why, but the gearchanges are a lot...

As ^ 124 meet at Brooklands from 11am which is good as there's a meet from this club there too :thumb: Any 124 owners feel free to come along

Hi everyone, I am in the process of picking a new/nearly new vehicle and recently test drove an ML350 (15 plate) and was very impressed. However I have read through dozens of reviews and forum posts and the opinions on engine size and real world fuel figures seems to differ quite a bit. If you...

It's that time again - and getting more and more difficult to fit dates in with so much starting to happen :) As per the title - the usual gathering, coffee and natter for those who enjoy all things Mercedes Parking in the usual place - no doubt a map will appear shortly :) Bring anything...
