    Well Duxford Battle of Britain show is always good. (Late Sept each year) Been when they had 16 and 17 spitfires flying in formation and tail chasing respectively in the past 5 years. Here is the confirmed flying list so far this year. 13 Spitfires excluding the BBMF. Confirmed to...

    Trans Canada Highway.

    Well, I am very lucky. Lived in Canada for the past 5 years. 1 year in Vancouver (fell in love with Canada at this point, and those that have visited Vancouver understand why for the past 10 years it is one of the top 5 places in the world to live). The view of rockies is...

    Dash cam policing

    Using footage like this, (Any video) that is sent by the public to the police can't be used in prosecution for one main reason. Authenticity. The video itself must be guaranteed to have undergone strict handling procedures prior to it being submitted as evidence in court. Unless the chain...

    What's your biggest repair bill?

    My Rear Axle imploded on my CLK63 Blackseries 12 months after the warranty ran out. Because the car was maintained correctly, and due to it being so rare, Mercedes covered 90% of the price of a new diff, which was just a little under £9,000 So I was left with a bill of just under £2,000...

    Moved to USA and bought a C63 & GL550...

    Haha, yes indeed. Know what you mean. I just put the highest number in anyway, its cheap enough not to worry about the cost. And I much prefer the pay at pump process which is pretty much standard in each garage you come across in North America anyway. ;) I see you mention Ontario, you...

    clk320x and st13phil. Really appreciate the clarification on the fuel. I didn't know that. Mercedes might think about changing the filler cap instructions (inside the fuel lid), as it clearly states 91 RON minimum inside mine (GLK), which when you pull up alongside a pump which have a massive...

    Moved to USA and bought a C63 & GL550...

    Yes, I spend 70% of my time in Canada (rest in UK), and have a GLK350 as my daily drive. Petrol is indeed cheap, about half the price of in the UK. Only issue is the RON rating of fuel is much lower. It is a real struggle to find a garage offering more than 91 RON which is considered...

    Stolen

    When I left the Army, I got a letter a few years later stating I was entitled to wear a Veterans badge due to serving in the Military. I left in 1989. So does that mean even the UK government and the MOD are incorrectly using a specific date range and I should have been offered a badge called...

    E63 'B' Service cost

    lol. Those with high value, more modern cars say Main Dealer History... E63, CL65, etc Those with older cars, say independent.. Obvious then.. New cars of course you would have main dealer service history. If I went to Mercedes used, and a 5 year old car didn't have main dealer...

    The UK Politics & Brexit Thread

    Gentlemen and Ladies. The conclusion of many pages of reading, is that NICK is laughing and raising a glass in his role as "A professional wind up merchant". It can be no other explanation. A professional "trickster" who loves seeing people get wound up by his answers. Nick I salute you...
