    Holiday in Dubai - Recommendations?

    I used to live in Dubai. Jumeirah is a good hotel which is now good value with it's own private beach. Atlantis has a nice shark slide which you may want to go on, but not too sure about the hotel. You can always have a meal at the Burj Al Arab fairly reasonably, but if you go there for...

    Actually the colour isn't too bad, so I take that back.

    Words of wisdom from HMRC

    How are you assured? I can't believe they would be permitted to respond to a letter in that way.

    Custom burgundy red leather 124 interior?

    Looks ok. Saw a green 220CE on ebay in green with green leather/trim/wheel. It looked different but car looked average, and last time I saw it it was up at about £6.5k...!!! People like different. Snap it up!

    Number plate - would you believe it !

    Theres nothing you can do but wish they hadn't been straight with you and not kept your money for such a unecessarily long period of time. You want to buy an absolutely meaningless number for £50 and offer it to them for sale for £6,500, and then get a friend to enquire about it quoting his...

    Do You......?

    Most CE drivers I pass are retired and miserable. Most CE convertible drivers are respectable looking women, and it doesn't feel appropriate to flash at.... Not elite enough I guess. A Maybach and I'm sure one would entertain that sort of road etiquette out of sheer decency.

    if you need a Tradesman, how do you find one?

    I usually take a quite laid back approach: If there is a job to do, I will bodge it, turn it off, stop using it, and then a few weeks/months later when I as least expecting it, someone will recommend the person I am looking for. Then I will usually look at the problem properly and fix it in an...

    Where can I get.......

    Back box has gone on mine. It's currently in the boot, and car sounds fairly loud! £380 from MBZ, £440 from Kwik fit, but then I thought what if the other 2 sections go afterwards (middle section £300 odd MBZ). Booked in on Thursday for a Longlife stainless steel full exhaust system £549. I...

    New to MB andf need advice!

    You need to keep looking. The 300TE you are looking at can be picked up really cheaply, so there isn't any reason why you can't have everything within your budget. Keep Looking!!!

    ML270 opinions please

    It looks like it has quite a nice spec. + The price seems reasonable but just under £7k would make it very tempting.

    General Poor Driving

    There is too many drivers who can't drive. But saying that I've had just as many problems sticking to the limit in an average speed check area with trucks almost nudging me to speed up. Middle laners are just frustrating, but because they don't observe other road users, I would never...
