Thanks for this - what was the name of the name of the rally school?

Rally driving Thanks - that's helpful. Where did you do it as I'd really like to do a rally school but want to make sure it's a good one?

Insurance fee Paying for the insurance does give you peace of mind, and as a result you feel a bit more relaxed pushing the car. However, the instructors are there next to you to ensure you are driving well within the limits of the car and making sure you (and them and their precious car!)...

Hi all About a year back I did the AMG Experience at Brooklands and loved it. I've done a few other of these 'supercar experiences' and because I found it really hard to know beforehand which events were good and which weren't, I decided to write a blog about my experiences. The idea was / is...

Thanks all. It's a second gen A-class, so sounds like there aren't any options in the A-Class family except seeing if the dear wife will go back to a manual. Unless the B-class uses a regular auto? That could be an option.

My wife has an A-Class (180 CDI Avantgarde) with a CVT automatic transmission. The transmission is absolutely awful but the rest of the car fantastic. The gearbox is so unbearable I'd like to get her another A-Class but with a normal automatic gearbox, ie not the CVT. Does anyone know what...

£2k! Ouch! Sorry to say but I discovered last week that Porsche buyers do get a complimentary half day (and breakfast!) - see write up here. I hope you're enjoying the C63 by the way - it must be an amazing car to own and drive on a regular basis. Good on you!

A few months ago I went on the AMG Experience at Mercedes-Benz World in Brooklands and drove an E63 AMG. I loved it and decided to start a blog about my experiences of these 'supercar experiences'. Anyway, if you're thinking about going on the AMG Experience, you might want to take a minute...

Car now sold.

Update - photos finally taken and attached (there's a maximum limit of three allowed for upload - pm me with an email addresss and I'll send you more). Other notables I forgot to list on the original post are: Rear parking sensors Auto lights Auto wipers And I just had fitted a new Bosch...

Sorry Mike - Monday to Friday the car is parked at the railway station by 07:15 and collected about 20:00. I'll definitely take the pictures on Saturday when I get to see the car in daylight hours! Charles - sorry for the thread highjack! (and glad to hear you enjoyed your C32).

I've got a C32 for sale, but it's an estate so might not suit your track day use.

For sale is my Mercedes C32 AMG estate. It is an '03 plate with 73,500 miles. Price: £7500. Exterior colour: silver Interior colour:black leather with black trim MOT until 26 August 2012 Next service is the A-service (the cheaper one) due in 3200 miles 4 months of tax 3...

Typical - it's really cold and my driver's side heated seat has stopped working! I'd really appreciate any advice on this - the switch button no longer lights up when I press it, and the seat doesn't heat. Passenger side is fine. Does this sound like a switch issue rather than the seat being...

My wife has an A180 CDI with a CVT transmission. It suffers with exactly the same thing. Particularly, under hard acceleration it can be very jerky. It actually slipped out of gear twice on me, so I took it for a repair. The garage changed the metatronics unit and now it's improved but is still...
