:crazy: When you think you've seen it all... :eek:

Well, I'm off to the continent tomorrow morning, to spend Christmas with the family. I probably won't be online for that period. So, best wishes for a Merry Christmas to you all! :D

Just back from a little drive and subsequently had the car fully cleaned, in and out, leather interior treated and polished as well. Just reminds me that even at 7 years old she is such a wonderful drive, gliding smoothly and quietly across the rather bad roads in West London, the V8 reacting...

Well, there I was in Vienna last week on a business trip and surfing to my gmail account, when I got this message: I must have missed something - didn't realise that Austria was still part of Germany :D. That would explain why my jokes about the Anschluss went down like the Hindenburg... :devil:

As per this link from the telegraph. Good idea or not? I don't like cars with lights in the daytime, partly because of my OCD tendencies :crazy:... Opinions?

As per this BBC article. :eek: There I was usually trying to get a newer cab when hailing one, might need to review my selection strategy. ;) No info about possible causes though - anyone care to speculate? :)

If you read some of the posts here, you'd think only Mercs have rust problems :D. Well, on our way back from Torquay yesterday, I spotted this L-plate beemer... :devil: The pictures are really bad quality as I took them quickly on the mobile phone and the chap in the car didn't seem too...

Below is my report on the GTG in Torquay last Saturday. :D We drove up to Torquay on Friday and arrived back in London this evening. The s-class performed its magic as per usual and the ride was therefore comfortable and smooth in the extreme. However, there were quite a few traffic...

Right, I guess I'm getting cold feet... :crazy: The last service on my s-class is now 16 months ago, and the ASSYST service indicator shows still 3500 miles to go to the next B service. I don't do much miles as I live in Central London and use the tube to get to work. At this rate, it will...

Saunders, you'll be interested in this... :D The Secret Life of the Motorway

Right, in order to prevent another serious case of thread hijacking by our resident serial thread hijackers :p, I am moving the gout conversation here. So, I'm having a severe gout attack. Painful? You bet. :crazy: Too much wine? Nope, genetic cause :eek: - resulting in bad metabolism of uric...

Well, I've been once again to see friends and family on the continent - hence my absence for most of the week. The Merc has performed flawlessly, as it has always done. :) Fuel consumption on this s-class keeps pleasantly surprising me. This for example was the leg from London to Dover: And...

...well, for a short while only :D Beware! :devil: Have been very busy lately (and was getting fed up with having to read the whole bloody daily mail on the forum :devil: :p), so have not been on here much. Thanks to all those who have emailed or PMed to inquire about my well-being. :) It's...

Most of my grocery shopping is home delivered to me by Sainsbury's. Well, until last night that is. I was supposed to have my order delivered to me between 7-8pm. When nothing had arrived by 9pm, I called their customer care team. They duly contacted the store and told me that they had "spoken...

We hear all these doom and gloom stories about warranties, I thought I'd share a better experience. Mine has now passed the 6 year barrier, so no more service plus for me :(. So, last year, I took out a 3 year fully comprehensive warranty on it as I intend to drive it for another little while...

Lout who has committed 15 different types of crime by age of 18 spared jail I read this story in the papers today. Makes me really angry. :mad: Perhaps this type should be sent to Afghanistan. That would be a better re-education than yet another community order. :crazy:

Youtube linky linky I was going to make a comment about its parking feature and some members of the forum, but I've decided it's not in the interest of my health and safety :devil:.

See this story on BBC News website. 11 year backlog? :crazy: So, where is all the money from road tax etc going to? :mad: Good thing that my warranty covers the airmatic suspension :eek:

See this clip... I was going to name this thread "Purplegoddess and jps out for an afternoon drive" :devil:, but I figured I'm not ready to die yet... :crazy:
