    I'm going to be a Millionaire

    As the tile says, I'm loaded or soon will be. Before you all start laughing, it's not an African prince who needs my help, though I'm still waiting on his funds arriving after I sent the amount he requested to him. Must remember to chase him up. Anyway, my news. Received a lovely letter from...

    S63 in for a service today (main dealer) Had a look on Mercedes me to see if it was finished. Doors unlocked, windows down, so they were obviously working on it.

    S63 Service

    My S63 AMG Coupe is due a service in the next month, so when I started it up this morning, sure enough, it popped up on the screen, but it said it was a BO service.

    S63 AMG Coupe to Bentley V8

    I am thinking of changing my S63 AMG Coupe for a Bentley Continental V8, probably convertible and 2017-2018. Has anyone done it or vice-versa & what are your opinions, good, bad or indifferent.

    Baffling

    Time for a B service on my S63 AMG Coupe. Booked it in & requested a courtesy car. We don't have any for the foreseeable future, but we will pick up your car & return it was the reply. OK, not a problem as I can use something else. This has happened before & two people usually arrive in one car...

    Panamericana grill S63 AMG Coupe (C217) Part 2

    Bit of an update. After searching in vain for an S63 Panamericana grille, I decided to stop looking, but after a while resumed the search. Only place left was China, so after a good search, found a company who said they could supply one. Being sceptical, asking if they were sure it would fit...

    Wheel removal helper

    I have a bad back (oos & aaas in the background):( so find it hurts when replacing wheels. I was thinking of something to help me that did not cost a fortune as I don't take the wheels off often, once, twice a year, so thought of furniture skids. Idea, slacken bolts as usual, trolley jack, lift...

    Worth watching

    Not a car in sight, but worth watching. The Alpinist on Sky Documentaries. Its about a free solo climber Marc Andre, a Canadian who climbs anything, no ropes & solo. Won't go into it too much but watching him, his ability is unbelievable

    Key Battery

    Whist driving, message came up saying "change key battery". Got home, checked you tube for a video, Dead easy. Anyway, the battery CR2025 3Volt removed & checked voltage 2.98 volts. New battery voltage 3.24 works fine. So, it seems that they are pretty sensitive if nominal voltage is 3V & needs...
