This 'generalism' is just that - a general rule. It doesn't work, the faster you go and if you do the maths you will find that just shy of 60mph, the 2 second rule does not work. At speeds above 57 - 58mph ish - the 2 second rule will cause you to hit the car in front (albeit at a snails pace)...

he won't pay. No witnesses. get a deposit off him to see if he's genuine.

Finally SOLD..........am I happy or sad.........mixed feelings. Sold to a guy who owned an SL65! Said the 65 was 'too refined' and "never sounded angry". Didn't rate the V12 bi-turbo at all. Sold @ £16k. Over the 5 years I had her, I spent £5k in spares and repairs and lost £500 in resale value...

Finally SOLD..........am I happy or sad.........mixed feelings. Over the 5 years I had her, I spent £5k in spares and repairs and lost £500 in resale value. £5.5k over 5 years equates to £20/week....£80/month. For the honour of owning a supercar....Ausgezeichnet!

Adrian Flux did an agreed valuation on my Merc for £15. I suggested the price and their underwriters got me to fill a form in and take 7 strategic piccies. They got back within the week and agreed my suggestion. Couldn't have been simpler.

Price should read £16,500. Changed it weeks ago, don't know what happened there? Could have sworn it was changed??

Trying to sell my Merc and BMW (going thru an OCD moment!). Reluctant sale of an original and limited edition SL55. BMW 323Ci | eBay (Car isn't sold - the buyer didn't show up!!). This is the latest so far: Scam - "Living abroad, looking for a present for my father, will send shipping...

Pathetic isn't it - one buys a soft top and non soft top people criticise us for when and where we can raise or lower our roofs WTF? Get a life lads. People with soft tops love the roof down - end of. Popping into a pub or a store for no more than an hour does not present a threat. Yes if you...

From a recently previous life, it was brought to my attention that V5's and other 'similar' documentation (MoT's for instance) - all go towards Identity theft, in the wrong hands. The 'scammer' may already have some info on you from the advert, your e-mail address, your telephone number, etc. In...

You'd think the standard police fleet car would be the Fiat Panda...................I'll get my coat :oops:

What 'actual' range are you getting in E mode?

Just had a quote from MB for a cooler fan. A plastic 11 bladed fan inside a plastic shroud driven by a clutched motor with a sensor unit attached - £900 :wallbash:. Are MB taking the proverbial or what???? Nissen/Valeo it is!!!

Correct - stored cars eat tyres for breakfast!!! (Unless they are jacked up of course).

Lexus 500 hybrid. Two things put me off (a little) with the i8: 1. Gull wings - need to plan ahead where one parks! Also if the car rolled in an accident - how do doors open? 2. Cars introduced in UK in 2014, batteries now 5 years old - warranted to 8 years I believe? Over the next few years...

Matching cagoules for him and her - eh.......so sad!

Dave - you are referring to the SL55 AMG yes? Didn't realise I have to come from underneath as well - thanks? What is the general verdict buying aftermarket rather than OEM? (Apart from cost!).

JDL60 = are you happy with the BMW i8 so far? It came out 2nd on my short list of 3. 1st was the Jaguar F-Type R.

Refurbed - Rims were split, the odd tungsten stud replaced (£8 each extra), wheel rims were acid dipped and then re-enammelled (Metallic gun metal grey). Outer rims were polished but NOT varnished on purpose. It means they come up like new once chrome polished every month. North West, near...

Mmmm interesting - quite a few women and retired vicars on this forum, methinks. Next they'll be telling me they haven't got the strength to support the hose as it stretches over the back of the boot. Ah, bless their little biceps!

merc85, I sent you a PM.
