So sad for JB,I know how he must be feeling as I lost my Dad to a heart attack when he was only 65.Hope he dedicates a win in 2014 to his Dad.

Hi I have been using the CTEK 5 for over a year now with no problems and will continue to use it this winter.

Hi Julesprivate,I have to agree with you,roof down and listen to the quad pipes singing away,for me it was worth the expense of having the new stainless steel Vortex system fitted with the quad pipes primarily for the sound and then the look at the rear of the car so for me the roof comes down...

All you guys have said it all,his mistakes and blunders are what made him special,I too grew up listening to sport with him and an era has passed today.

Hi just had my rear inner wheel arches refurbed and the guy did a great job,took the existing paint back to the metal then primed and resprayed them,good as new now.The guy is Tim Eaton and he works from Purdeys industrial park in Rochford Essex.If anyone is interested I will tell you what he...

Hi I used to buy this for my wife in the 70's ,it was called Emva Cream the Queen of Cyprus sherries,have not seen it for years though.It was quite cheap but very drinkable.

What a fab day in Southend,cruising along the seafront with the roof down,fish and chip lunch,then parked up and had a nice long walk taking in the fresh sea air,so all in all a pretty good December day.:bannana:

Hi yes you need to get the CTEK 5 it is a great trickle charger and can be left on the car until you need to use it.I got mine from Amazon for about £50. but that was last year.

How did you do with the part exchange as SL350's are not holding their money.Mine is 2003 can you give me some guide lines.

Hi you need a new alarm siren box,I had same problem with my SL350,hazards flashing etc etc,fitted new alarm siren all ok now.

Hi me again,just thought I would add that had new rear brake discs fitted yesterday so another job out of the way,new rear shocks next in January ,on order from Germany.I will still sell this car if someone comes up with a £9000 offer.Michael 01702202119.

They are quite free my friend,I let following cars get close enough to see the badge and then floor it,seems to do the trick.Puts a little doubt in their minds,is it or is'nt it?Leave them thinking about it.But then of course I would love SL63 AMG but at £110,000 for me it is a no go.

Yes the pull of AMG,well fit new AMG front grille,fit new stainless steel exhaust system with quad pipes,buy AMG badge for boot lid and then let your imagination run wild.My car goes and sounds like an AMG thank you very much and my money is still in the bank.

Hi been out today with the roof down on my SL350 and it was great,lovely sunshine in Essex.Warm scarf,warm hat so no problem.

Also get yourself a trickle charger and leave it switched on to the car I have the CTEK 5 and it is amazing,does all manner of things and keeps the battery topped up until you need to use the car.
