    Sports Cars in the Park 24th September 2023

    Just thought I'd bring this up as I've not seen it mentioned on the forum and it's less than 3 weeks away now. It's being held at Newby Hall (Nr Ripon) again as the original plan for Castle Howard couldn't be agreed apparently. At least Newby is a known quantity and a good venue, with the...

    Simply Mercedes, Beaulieu: 21st August 2022

    A bit early with this one but forewarned is forearmed as they say. An excellent event last year, hopefully a similar attendance this year will help it out again. Tickets are now available from the BEAULIEU WEBSITE.

    Sports Cars in the Park - Newby Hall 8th May 2022

    Just a quick heads up that Sports Cars In The Park are hosting their first meet this year on the above date, which will be held at Newby Hall near Ripon. They will be having a later one on the 4th September at Castle Howard but it seems that they're no longer running the Leeds venue (Lotherton...

    Halfords Tool Kits Price Cut

    Not 100% sure this should be in the "Parts, Maintenance & Servicing" section but, as these can be used for fitting said parts, also maintaining and servicing them, I thought I'd take my chances and post it here. :) Halfords currently have their 20% price cut on SELECTED SOCKET SETS, which are...

    Waxing over a Ceramic coating

    I've been doing a bit of research into this lately and the consensus seems to be that it's a waste of time and won't last. I would agree to a point but I've been doing a bit of experimenting, coming up with what's possibly a solution, probably a compromise. I bought the car in October 2019 and...

    W246 B-Class Electric Drive

    Anyone know anything about these? I must admit that they weren't on my radar until a couple of days ago yet the more research I do into them, the more I'm developing an interest. I've been looking for an electric car for a while now, mainly just for pootling around town and to the shops and...

    Portable washing kit

    After lots of boredom and spending unhealthy amounts of time on various auction sites over the last few months, I eventually put together some bits and pieces which may actually come in useful. It's basically a totally portable car washing system, which has now been fully tried out as the...

    If you wanted a Cabriolet

    Then would THIS ONE appeal? I know nothing about the car other than the link which was given to me by a friend who is potentially in the market for one. He asked me specifically what the M273 engines are like on this model and I told him that I hadn't a clue though would ask on here for him...

    500 SEC, needs a bit of looking at...

    Possibly a bit more than looking at to be honest and probably not something to take on as a quick project. I think I'll be giving it a miss but, for anyone with a bit of time on their hands, the car's HERE ON EBAY. Will need more than T Cut.

    Bit of a hub tidy up

    I've been doing this little job for the last few days and have decided to put it in it's own thread as opposed from clogging up various other places. It would normally have taken a day at the most but I had problems with running out of things, including patience and interest. The car is a 2019...

    Mercedes Me + Collision Detected

    This was one of those features which I thought I'd turned off but apparently not as it's flagged up twice in the last couple of days. It shows a picture of the car from above with a red circle round it and states "Collision detected" Area: Unknown (slight impact) and then the time and date. The...

    Intake Grill Mesh

    Some people are aware that the intake area around the front of the current Mercedes range leave several radiators/intercoolers etc. a bit vulnerable to road debris being thrown up into them. When I had my W213 E63 I found a solution to this from a company called Zunsport, details on THIS...

    Been missing: Reasons why

    Just a quick explanation of why I've not been here much. :) I put my 190E Cosworth up for sale back at the end of March, this probably being the time I started deliberating about having a complete change of cars and starting again. I'd gone about as far as I was prepared to go with the 190E and...

    Not eBay but still an auction with some Mercedes

    Also some very interesting other marques. Several Mercedes on offer with no reserve at Silverstone Auctions, 27 - 28th July. Quite a bit of other nice stuff as well but the Mercedes make it for me. I don't seem to have a particular favourite in this collection, let's face it, they're all...

    Given my car a quick wipe down

    If the weather holds out this weekend then I'm off for a little run in my "red shed" tomorrow morning. There's a meeting up in Preston on the penultimate Sunday of every month so, as the little car's been stuck in the garage for what seems like an absolute age, I thought I'd give it a bit of an...

    Mercedes with a difference

    In that it's a Renault... I don't really have anything else to say. I usually have a sneaky respect for well modified and tasteful customisations. Unfortunately, this is neither of these things. Found on another forum by the way. .

    A nice late present for the younger enthusiast

    Just came across this, so thought I'd share. :)

    *BIG SPEC* S65 AMG CONVERSION

    Not actually on eBay but on the Autotrader site Thought someone on here may like this beauty. :) Sellers words: "This car is indistinguishable from a 100k S65 AMG" Hmm, until you start it up I suppose, or look at the brakes, or the interior...

    Bargain CLK230 Cab

    Nice BLACK CABRIOLET on Auto Trader. :) On second thoughts, I think I may give it a miss... The MOT history makes interesting reading as well.

    Zunsport Grills/Radiator covers

    I had a set of these grills from Zunsport fitted to the front of my E Class a while ago as the front end was, at least to me, a blatant flaw in an otherwise nice car. I'm not sure of which models are vulnerable apart from the W213 E63 and the AMG GT, but there is literally no protection against...
