Hi all, Is there anyone out there in the Dorchester, Weymouth or Portland areas who would be willing to take three very well behaved lads to their school Prom in the evening of 8th July? If you are able to assist, contact me via this post or Lisa Philips or Lucy Young at the Welcome Cafe in...

Anyone going?

Looking to get a couple of little things looked at before her MOT, who's the MB independent you talk of?

How many SLK owners on the MB Forum?

She did it again this morning, total stranger walked up, from his SLK200, advised me I had a Halfords special, I asked what he meant he told me that he'd bought a battery from Halfords, paid £9.99 to have it fitted and experienced the same problem a couple of months later, called out the RAC as...

I'm not sure of the age of the battery. I'll test it and update you. Thanks for your advice, let's hope it's just that and nothing major!

Would it be worth calling the AA out again?

I received a fine from a private parking enforcement company employed by KFC, Currys etc. The fine was £50 if paid within 7 days, £80 after that. I have a lifelong friend who happens to be a retired traffic officer with the Dorset Police. His advice was to ignore it, even if they threaten you...

Has the group ever organised a meet? Anyone fancy setting one up, perhaps regional or local, if not what about a National meet?

Anyone been, is it worth a visit?

DRL's on cars under a certain age are ok, a little too bright when I'm driving my SLK. What really gets my goat is the boy racer, mid twenties racer and the mid twenties to late thirties poser, in their vehicles not fitted with DRL's driving all day and night with their sidelights and front fog...

Perhaps they believe there is safety in numbers!!!!!
