    MG4 X Power is coming my way. 🙂

    Is it as dark / one tone in there as it appears though? Is that a floating / levitating centre console aswell?

    No, Euro 5 didn't need ad blu Good luck with the viewing and test drive Does it have a glass roof - makes a notable difference in what is a small cabin? There are plenty about, so be fussy....

    MG4 X Power is coming my way. 🙂

    Hmm, the main instrument cluster looks a very small screen, compared to the space a couple of traditional dials would take up..... Though I suppose this only has up display a a pairs of digital digits and perhaps a 'lights on' alert etc Interior is certainly the opposite of the exterior. Does...

    Wheel downsizing E400d AMG Line Night Edition 4Matic

    Slight thread drift, but whilst we have chunky 225/55/19s on the X Trail, I did have to have front suspension work at this year's service as the missus believes that her car is invincible to speed bumps and potholes..... So even with decent depth tyres, a car can still take damage from the roads

    ‘24 C63 S206… Oh Dear

    Let's not forget that it's not the engine (if maintained) nor even the chassis / body (rust is rarer now) that will write a newer car off, but its electronics which are the weak point in comparison to older NA and less stressed engined cars

    RIP Herbie Flowers

    That's a good run for someone who had a good life and left a great legacy of fantastic bass / music. He and his music lives on, thanks to streaming services and vinyl tucked away in collections around the world. Spent time listening to him with my dad as kid

    ‘24 C63 S206… Oh Dear

    It is the way forward, and I am sure can provide all the thrills, spills (and bills) of any older AMG, though I was asked by someone if my SLK55 was fast My reply was that if I wanted a fast car I'd have bought a Tesla. I wanted a noisy V8... 😁 :cool:

    Likely VW T-Roc Purchase

    That's really poor. Honest question, is it running right? Tyre pressures I presume are good, no binding brakes, air filter clean, no codes etc? That shouldn't of be closer to 47mpg or more My SLK55 has bettered that! My E400 has also, by some margin Our petrol X Trail just did, fully loaded...
