Finally, after moving house at the end of September we finally have all the cars clean! Worst of the lot was the other half's ML, it does make for an excellent family car and living in a more rural area it's getting used every day for taking the kids to school. But it's also been about four...

Alongside my Megane 225, I have owned this little Twingo 133 from new. I loved the Twingos when they came out, especially taking a fancy to the Gordini edition. So I placed an order in the April and got it in the August. There weren't many options on this model, I chose to retain the normal...

So, we're in the process of packing up to move house. It's been long overdue but I finally rolled my RS Megane out of the garage after a 10+ year hibernation. I actually had no idea the condition it would be in. I did aim to store it properly but not for this long but kids, work and then...

As opposed the grey mess that the ML has become over the last couple of months. Good fallout remover this, doesn't smell like death like most of the others! Comes up alright. Attacked the pedals as well with some APC. Stupidly I didn't get any proper pics of the interior...

As most of you know, I bought my CL500 (2010, 5.5 N/A) last summer and so far I'm very pleased with it. It was given a service (and gearbox service) in May so it's not due one based on 12 months use. I was looking at the service book and had a thorough look through the history. According to the...

I thought I'd start a thread on products that you think are really good and why you'd recommend them. I have tried so many shampoos, Dodo Juice, Bilt Hamber, Chemical Guys, Gyeon, Meguiars etc. But I recently looked at the Car Chem range. For those who don't know, Car Chem make a number of...

By some kind of miracle and given the recent weather we've had today was bright, sunny and not frostbite inducing. This was how the CL looked about a week ago. Neither car thawed out properly for days but today was my chance. So I went at the CL today, usual pre-wash, Chemical Guys shampoo...

Well at some point the Shogun will be leaving me. I had a plan for it, go do some off-roading etc etc. Sadly time and money haven't enabled me to get out and do just that so the Shogun has become a runabout. I love it and it's fun but it's not an easy drive, it's hugely slow and it does about...

I spent all day yesterday giving our main cars a wash. The ML and Shogun were recently serviced and MOT'd, the latter cost me £200 to get through but the ML received a clean bill of health. They all needed a clean so I did my CL at the end of the day too, perfect weather now it's cooled down...

I sold my S Class back on the 31st of July to a chap from Stratford, London. Him and his brother came to look at the car, were keen, we struck a deal and he took there car there and then. Was all a bit quicker than anticipated but he transferred the money to me, all went through fine, V5 filled...

As some of you probably know, I bought a CL500 at the weekend and very nice it is too. Now, it came with the AMG styling pack so deeper bumpers, side skirts and 20" AMG wheels. It also came with an AMG badge which I believe is a factory fit. The thing is, I'm torn. I like an AMG, I own a full...

Having purchased a CL, I am now looking to sell on my 2008 S320cdi. The car is still great, I just can't warrant a diesel so much now and may potentially need something ULEZ compliant so petrol it is. - 3.0 V6 diesel - Has been re-mapped by a trusted local mapper who I have used on previous...

Some of you may have seen my other post but sadly I will be moving my S Class on due to the encroaching ULEZ. Sadly I'm just inside the M25 and in the firing line for the new ULEZ expansion. The only option to get round this is the obvious choice, a V8! So I started hunting down the CL models...

With the proposed ULEZ expansion and between us owning three cars which aren't compliant, I am looking to sell my S Class. One thing I have realised over the last year is that I'm often running my old Shogun Sport as a runabout which barely manages 30mpg on a run. So despite the S Class doing...

Not! New Years day clean for the S and the Shogun today haha. Hard to believe I've had the S Class two years in February. Still looking pretty sharp inside and out though. Hard to believe the S is 14 years old this year. Not as old as the Shogun which hits 19 years old...

As some of you saw, our much loved ML350cdi which we bought last December is no more, due to a div in a lorry rear ending it. We recently received the inevitable news it was a total loss and had the offer through. With car prices being strong we were offered £200 less than we paid for it 9...

Some of you may have seen that I put up a thread asking about green laning a while back and received some great responses. I decided against an ML and ended up with something which is very capable off road and somewhat unrefined on the road but I absolutely love. It's a Mitsubishi Shogun...

I haven't posted in here in a while, nothing too spectacular to report but gave the S a clean at the weekend. It's not done much driving since acquiring another car plus been using my other half's courtesy car and putting the miles on that since it goes back in a week! :) I've been using this...

Some of you may have seen my post on another forum but thought I'd share here. Our ML came to it's end on Saturday although thankfully that was the only injury!! My other half was driving clockwise on the M25, Saturday morning and it was raining. The rain suddenly came down really hard and the...

Just wondered if anyone on here did any green laning or off roading at all? I'd been wanting to get into something other than just detailing and using my cars. I did have a car I was aiming to use as a track car but kids came along and that went 7 years ago. Also, track days aren't something...
