Iv had the car about 5 years and...

    The EV fact thread

    Can we try and stick to facts (such as they are) that are reported in main stream media , preferably from more than one scource ? They will of course on many occassions be bought to us via social media by either people who are 100% conviced that EV's are the future and those who have polar...

    Inside a 30K mile blown C43 AMG engine

    His videos are quite long but anyone wanting a close look inside a modern AMG engine can see it all here. Drove through a deep puddle appears to be the diagnosis.

    £29K 2005 C55 saloon (W203) !!

    It's certainly ultra clean with very low mileage and as a Japanese import is almost certainly rust free....but really ? Non factory head unit and parking sensors (and in my opinion) 'out of place ' wood interior. It will probably sell (for less than £29K) . It's not even the far more rare Estate...

    Nick Mason open day

    I can't make it this year but it's a nice little day out with the chance to see some real 'Unicorn' (staggeringly valuable) cars that are not behind a rope or on a plinth. His guys must spend days getting grubby fingerprints off the paintwork :) Appears to be just one day this year ? I am sure...

    How does the active aero work ?

    Got passed on the freeway on the way to work the other day by a brand new (still on paper licence plates) AMG GT63 we exited on the same off ramp . When he came to a halt at the traffic light the rear spoiler popped up , it had not been up when driving at speed on the freeway. It stayed that...

    Did I wake up in North Africa this morning !?

    Saw this outside Harbour Freight toolshop , (I'm working in USA at the moment) and as my title suggests I have not seen a MB this beat since I was in Morocco . They were all E class taxi's, the colour of this S is pretty close too. Still going strong. And it's a Diesel , quite an odd thing to...

    Hoovie drives the new Maybach (not really a Maybach)

    Tyler Hoover gets his ancient Maybach repaired under warranty and gets to drive a 2023 version. 'Bounce' tech to get the thing out of a hole must surely be aimed at potential owners who might get themselves stuck on sand dunes. ?

    Broken double yellow line myth ?

    Some might have heard say that if the double yellow lines are not complete or 'capped off' at the end by a yellow paint bar they are not legally valid. I have never tested this out or thought much of it , in this photo (not visible ) the end of the lines nearest to me just fade away and are...

    G wagon prices tumbling....

    I stumbled across this 2 week old video . I know it's USA , but it's a global market and these guys talk about 'desirable' Porsche prices going the same way . And they report there are over 1600 G wagons currently for sale in the US. 1600 !! First time I have seen these guy's so no idea if...

    E-scooter rider sues council

    Here we have a story we have all seen before . 'Thief falls through skylight , sues home owner for damages etc...' Just reading the bare bones of this story you would not think she has a leg to stand on in court (pun intended) , how does it even get to court ? Her sole defence (attack) seems...

    Anderzen explains his manual swap C55 AMG

    I have liked his attitude to older AMG's since I saw the first manual swap episode some time ago. I was struck by his DIY attitude and his admittance to not really following a set path but just going his own way. Not everyone likes what he has done and personally there is not a single thing...
