    Longest time you have kept a car

    About a year for me (which is quite bad when I think about it) ... Though we've had Mrs Lfckeepers VW Eos for coming up 4 years now.

    Cars/bikes we wish we still had

    Yes they did, a fantastic idea owing to the weight, I believe in the U.S they made an 'interstate' version where a few of the 'mod cons' were removed, including the reverse gear, they will have been very awkward indeed to try and move backwards.... The weight disappeared over about 3 mph .. Its...

    Sat in a few cars today - my favourite was a KIA!!

    Had the 5 series in for a service today, so took the opportunity to have a wander into the car showrooms nearby, boy was I in for a surprise! The Vauxhall Insignia looks a bit boring on the outside but I was surprised how nice it felt inside - very well put together. The Volvo S90 was...

    Why do many motorcyclists/motorbikers seem to ignore speedlimits?

    So I've guessed you don't like Motorcycles. . And as one went passed you... You didn't like it .. One can make an assumption that as he 'wouldn't let you passed in your car' you drove right up his back end.. Then from the sounds of it made a dangerous overtaking manoeuvre? In my...

    Is there less help on the forum than a few yrs ago

    I'll confess .. I didn't know there was an OT section :oops: .... Now I do, judging by the comments on here, I'll stay away This is the only forum I'm on. Not just motoring but full stop. I tried joining others (when I bought the BMW and more recently my new Motorbike) but it felt like most...

    Trade In Price

    Go to BMW, Merc, Land Rover etc pretend to be interested in a similar priced car and see what their part ex offers are? Give you a good idea if the offer is in the right area. Could even use it at Jaguar if any of the others offer you more

    Parting with my CL63 for a CLK320 CDI

    I miss my memory seats ... I dropped something down the side of the seat, reaching down I knocked the seat adjustment button .. Took two days driving to work to get it back 'just right' .... Also I can't move the driver seat when cleaning the car .. Just in case

    I want to get back to Mercedes...

    Haha .... Yeah it seems like that.. But I think this is more of a personal thing than the car being 'bad' .... I'm just not feeling it with the BMW. In all the mercs if had, I got to the end of the journey wanting to carry on, I wanted to spend time in the car, I don't with the 5er.. Its 'just...

    I want to get back to Mercedes...

    I'll try leaving the stalk up and put the auto on see if that works If memory serves with the Cls you twist the stalk down and the wipers are on auto. In the BMW there is an auto button on the end of the stalk which for me turns off if you turn the car off.. But I'm hoping the above fixes my issue
