I didn't shoot the sheriff but I did shoot his deputy.

Hope you stopped for a coffee as the car's suggesting.

Saw FUE1L on a silver SLS coupe in Aberdeen today, it must have been an SLS day out today in NE Scotland, I also saw a dark brown convertible in Keith, parked at the side of the A96, didn't see the reg though. Also saw 70 000 (spaced like that) on a Range Rover in Aberdeen.

Cocos Kustoms in East Calder, here. http://www.cocoskustoms.co.uk/about/index.html He is well into VWs now but was an AMG master mechanic.

I sent the guy a message about £4K being too much for the plate. He said he'd had a couple of offers in the £2K region.

On a good run (Elgin to Edinburgh airport - 170 miles) I managed 350 miles on a tank and an average of 28.8 mpg, that was before my remap though. I'm lucky to get above 25 mpg now on the same run, so just over 300 miles I'd say would be my maximum range.

I'd never heard of or seen this before, just type folding tyre Mercedes Benz in to YouTube and watch. It does need inflating before use, a pretty clever invention I'd say.

Mine said "check oil at next fuel stop" but I think this was connected to me having my B service 5 days after it was due. Is your service overdue maybe, or it could genuinely use oil? My 6.2 doesn't use any at all but some peoples cars seem to.

I've just had mine for its B service today at Mercedes Benz in Inverness. I was quoted £750 to start off with, this included gearbox oil change and air filter replacement. As it happened, my car had previously had the gearbox oil changed, 3 services ago, and I have BMC filters fitted, so no...

I fitted MPSS on my 19" wheels too, on the rave reviews, people were giving on the forum. I haven't had any serious handling issues but my set were made from the softest rubber in the world. They've only been fitted for around 2000 miles and they look almost shot already. At least my...

Started learning to drive in a Triumph Acclaim, passed my test in a Mk 4 Ford Escort.

This would be much more effective, if you knew he wasn't going to be in the house for a few days, plenty of time to hatch before they're just cleaned up.
