    If you didnt have a Merc what would you drive ??

    Love the current Merc as it's the perfect family car but also love the previous A class that is now with mom and dad. However I would not change the 911 a 997 one that I have. Very difficult to find an equivalent car. Also still love the 406 coupe that I bought in 2000. I was about to get the...

    Drivers of cars over a decade old £10 toxicity charge to drive through central London

    Don't tend to drive in central London as it's time consuming and tiring. Both our cars even my 911 is not affected but doesn't mean I will be tempted to drive. However I see that sooner than later they will expand it to the whole m25 and then they will be affecting 10s of thousands and it will...

    Cyprus mid-Feb for two weeks?

    As a person originally from Cyprus I would agree with the comments that Feb is cold and not a sunny holiday time. Is more of a ski time rather than beach. Just have a look at the following link which is 1.5h from Ayia Napa and about 1h from Paphos or Limassol. http://www.skicyprus.com/webcam/...
