    Hello A friend of mine owns a 1988 300SL and it's refusing to fire up. I have read some place before that the fuel pump relay could be the cause? Anyone else had a similar issue or could help diagnose what it may be? Thank you very much

    Calcifer's 1989 AMG 3.2

    Since the W211 E55 AMG has been off the road with airmatic issues. I've been driving the AMG 3.2. It's refreshing to use a simple mechanical car without all the electrical issues of current age cars! The car started life as a 300E and sent directly from the factory to AMG for the 3.2L upgrade...

    W463 AMG 300GE detailed :)

    Vince of Pallas recently managed to fit the G Wagon in for a detail session. After hours of hard work by him the car was completely different to how it entered his garage. Very happy with the results. To share, the car is a 1993 model 300GE, modified by AMG. :)

    American Express

    I have always been slightly mystified with this brand. Yet, a representative just called to offer their products. Each of them come with an annual fee. So I'm wondering if anyone here uses Amex and how so has it been any better? Perhaps I'm simply not understanding this correctly. :confused:

    Driveway cleaning and degreasing.

    In May I'll be doing the yearly yard clean and was hoping for a more lasting result this time. What do you guys use for degreasing, remove oil stains, algae etc and finally for sealing the driveway at the end of cleaning. All I have for now are a couple of Karcher but I'll be needing a...
