    New SLK 55 vs C63 AMG MPG

    Computer on my C63 says 18.8mpg over 6100 miles since September. Made up of a mixture of local short runs and longer NSL / motorway journeys. Very little in town driving.

    Anyone seen any good number plates on cars lately?

    I saw B1 MER on a BMW 323 Coupe on the A1 near Newark yesterday. I was driving, so no picture I'm afraid.

    New C63 Coupe Arrived!

    I've never noticed slow changes in manual mode, but then I've only ever driven normal manuals before so I've nothing similar to compare it to. Try pressing and holding the down paddle in manual for quicker downshifts.

    New C63 Coupe Arrived!

    Glad to hear the delivery went well. Interior looks lovely. Nice all round. If you're talking about "speed limit assist", use the left/right arrows on the left side of the steering wheel to scroll to the "Assist" menu. Click OK. Scroll up/down to the speed limit assist option. Click OK to...

    Performance pack plus

    Just to confirm that the description in the brochure is correct. The visible items that indicate that the PPP option has been fitted to a saloon are the carbon rear spoiler, red calipers, alcantara on the sides of the steering wheel and a darker "titanium" coloured intake manifold. If none of...

    Do you ever use S ?

    S - for when you really want to be in S+, but the wife and kids are in the car? I pretty much always have it in M.

    She's arrived!

    The demonstrator I had earlier in the year had the same problem. Got it home to find the near side hadn't caught properly and needed a bit of a slam to sort it.

    Automotive Photography

    I attached a Manfrotto suction cup to the glass of the sunroof and then attached a Manfrotto Magic Arm to that. The camera was mounted on the magic arm but it was also braced against the passenger seat to reduce the amount of bouncing around. I set up my remote and camera to repeatedly take...

    Thanks Steve. I did create a shadow but struggled with it. I think it would be harder than it appears here - possibly even multiple hard shadows! A step too far for me at the moment. Good point about the reflections too. That is probably something I could have a stab at. Thanks again. Keith

    Thank you for the kind words. I've been playing with Daz Studio to render a 3D scene and then use that scene as part of a composite. Here's the result of my first go at it: The Gates Here are the images used for the composite: The Games (Composite Details) Lots more...

    Anyone used 'Race Start' on their C63 yet?

    I've used it a couple of times when friends came to visit and I was showing them the car for the first time. Quite exciting to use but there was a lot more wheel spin than I had expected, although it was pretty damp out. I didn't do any timings or anything but it didn't feel appreciably...

    I like the feel of the leather :eek: I'm wearing a t-shirt (Which you can't see) and light brown jeans, which I guess look skin coloured.

    A small rant about Admiral

    Well, a quick call sorted out the NCB issue, or so we thought. The lady said that she could see all the necessary details and would update the system. Fair enough. We told her that we weren't overly happy with the numerous small issues that we have been having regarding the renewal. She said...
