We are moving to Denver next week ( well Diane is I am going in a few months). We have bought a car over there (VW Tuigan 2.0T 4 Motion ) and are in the process of insuring it for Diane to drive next week. The quotes we are getting are very high - best is $1250 for 6 months. Apparently it will...

Thanks guys. Some real food for thought. Diane is a bit worried cos although she is a good and confident driver she has never driven on the right! We both ski so AWD for trips to the Rockies is essential I think. I have revised my opinion of Kias and Hyundais as well. Think MB Audi BMW Volvo...

No, definitely buy one out there. My new C250CDI Coupe will have to be sold next year and the C200K Coupe in the next few weeks. Boo hoo!

Well our move to Denver is confirmed. The good lady will be going next month to take up a great job with her existing company. It covers Canada and Europe as well so she will be coming home every 2 months and being semi retired I will be able to go over fairly often. Then the plan is for me to...

Brilliant! Thanks.

The mpg on my C250cdi coupe 7G has radically improved after 2K of driving. Now averaging 51mpg. First 1000 miles 42mpg. Have had a few good motorway blasts. Also the initial gruffness of the engine seems to have significantly improved. Or maybe I am just getting used to it!

Clever ! I like it. Cheers

Yes I have playlists set up but still annoying if you just fancy a random scroll or want to get a particular album or artist.

I have most of my music on a 64gb iPod. Is there a way to scroll quickly through the music menu on Command? I.e. initials of artists or albums liike when using the Ipod in its own rather than having to go through the lot every time.

Maybe a bit rock for me. Recommend a listen? Also Joshua Radin and The Pierces - specially video for Love You More!

Favourite guitar/ indie album - Longview- Mercury. Track- Further. Play it regularly. Oh yeah Counting Crows and Tegan and Sara

I must speak out in support of MB Winchester part of Ridgeway Group. I spent almost a whole day there having just turned up on spec. Test drove 3 cars with absolutely no pressure or arrogance. Very friendly and relaxed and in the end produced an irresistible offer on a new C Class Coupe...

I am a singer / songwriter freak. So currently Ed Sheerin , Ben Howard, Jack Savoretti, Colin Devlin. Favourite all time Aimee Mann. Also regularly listen to Woodpigeon, Radical Face ( Nikon advert) Midlake Bon Iver and similar what my loved one calls " maudlin music" !!

There are no restrictions if you challenge it. The dealer gets commission for setting up the finance. There is absolutely nothing to stop you paying it off as soon as you want as I did. As I said it got me 19% discount on list.

Direct with MB finance. The dealer will try to say you have to have min 6 months finance but ask to see terms and conditions and there is nothing in there about it. They just want the commission!
