    What private/ personal number plate have got

    L19N SC I'm well aware the spacing is not kosher, but I've never had any issues with it before. SC are my initials and L19N reads Lion, an old nickname, not to mention a big tattoo on my arm!

    Gumball: it took me a moment to realise that they were engine sizes and not your personal ratings of the cars!

    Car History

    Like for like, maybe not... but value for money is outstanding... My dad has his on order (end of October delivery) it's the 2.0TDI, SE-L spec with heated leather, xenons, 8" sat nav, electric boot... all as standard, he's added metallic paint & park assist - all for not a lot more than the cost...

    Car History

    I only learnt to drive 3 years ago, had bikes before that... 20: 2000 Skoda Fabia 1.4 (it was nice, but slooooow) 20: 2003 Hyundai Coupe 2.0 (again, nice - great looking but not the fastest) 22: 2005 Hyundai Coupe 2.0 (yeah, I bought the same, just the facelift model) 22: 2006 Mercedes CL500 (I...

    Dashboard warnings...

    Okay, so I am delighted with my CL (500, W215, 2006/55) - the engine and gearbox are sublime, the car itself is very nearly immaculate: it's black so it's not the most forgiving colour for stonechips, but I can live with a couple - in all, it's a damn sight nicer than my last car, a Hyundai...

    Intelligent LED headlights

    The trouble with High Beam Assist (which truthfully, I absolutely love) is that it can't prepare itself... where I, for example, will see the spread of light of an oncoming car from around a corner and dip my beam before we dazzle eachother, the HBA will wait until it sees the light source from...

    Chinese tyres - truly awful!

    Before my MB, my weekend car was a FWD 2.0 petrol, nice little car but not that fast - one of the best handling FWD cars I've driven. Anyway, bought it with chinese tyres and swapped them off within a week. They were not good at all. People often ask what the best 'mod' for their car is: I...

    Truthfully, I wanted a newer car more than I wanted an extra 4 cylinders. I drove both and the V8 was adequate for me over the older V12 370PS, especially since I am only a young man (still in my early twenties) a newer V12 500PS Biturbo would have killed me, not to mention being just a bit more...

    So after many decisions & viewings... I have decided to go for a newer, if less powerful 2006 CL500 - I pick it up next Friday. Counting down the days!

    Hello all, I'm hoping to upgrade my current car to a 2001-2003 CL55 / CL600 sometime over summer. I have a company car that I use 6 days a week so I need something really special for that one other day! I'm very active (in fact, I'm a mod) on the forums for my other car club, and...
