    Paul aka Ringway

    It is with great sadness to let you know that Paul-Ringway passed away yesterday at 5pm after his battle with cancer. He was a master of puns and had a great sense of humour and I'm sure made many of us laugh over the years. Although we never met in person we communicated through the forum...

    Oh wow, a CL700.

    A very rare car and I can't afford it even if I sell my 3 cars. https://www.edward-hall.co.uk/1998-mercedes-cl700-amg

    189 mpg! What fun!

    I picked this up on Friday in the rain and haven't stopped laughing. I was even out in the floods yesterday evening and couldn't stop smiling. I've covered over 60 miles so far and it cost £4+ to fill up.:D My Spitfire needed some company. That's my excuse anyway.

    If you were President of the World what would you ban?

    I'll start with, in no particular order: Shorts. Specifically men in shorts. They look naff whether they are above the knee or half way up your leg. You are a man, your legs do not look good. You are not playing sport put some proper trousers on you scruffy git. Track suit bottoms. Especially...

    It's a mystery.

    How does a hedgehog end up on a conservatory roof? How bizarre. Puzzles me, but yesterday morning on opening my curtains there was a hedgehog on the glass roof obviously dead and blood stains on the glass. Today, lying on the ground in the garden. Cats regularly take a trip across mine and...

    Anyone here living in a Grade 11 thatched cottage?

    I am considering a move and have been looking at thatched cottages in the Bucks area. Having done some research I realise the restrictions on Grade 11 listed buildings, such as alterations, extensions, and am not particularly bothered by that, more the implication of having a thatched roof...

    Beading

    I read all the posts about the various waxes that produce great beading but I have always thought it would be better if the water sheeted (is that even a word?) off. What happens when the sun comes out? Isn't it evaporating the water droplets and leaving the mineral deposits on the paintwork...

    How rare?

    Having acquired a 2004 XK8 4.2 V8 Convertible back in April (to replace the E220 Convertible) it seems that facts and figures are readily available out there in the ethernet i.e. number built, specs, how many left, colours etc. There is also a very knowledgeable forum out there much like this...

    The Master of Fibres Drying Towel.

    Anyone used one of these? I just bought one and think it's the best drying towel I've used. Dried the whole car and it's barely wet. Definitely no wringing required. I just placed it on the panels and patted them dry. Not cheap but worth it for the ease of use I think. No affiliation with...

    I'm in a quandary.......

    I love my Mercedes, in fact I love most Mercedes and I've had six since I was in my mid-thirties. However, having owned my first diesel* and convertible car ever I find myself taking it out for a 30-60 mile run once or twice a week avoiding any short journeys just to make sure I don't...

    Can someone explain?

    I just looked at the vin decoder for my vehicle. Can someone explain why or how my 2014 e-cab is showing year 2002 with 232,582km on it with a delivery date to the UK in 2014? Does the 2002 date refer to something else and not the build date? Plus it only has 40k miles on it now. VIN...
