    New car time…

    I’ve only just realised following Lenny’s thread, that I hadn’t mentioned my recent upgrade. I’ve owned my S211 E320 estate since 2018, and had covered about 68k in that time. My wife Becky fancied an upgrade, not because there was anything wrong with the old lug, but just that the tech was a...

    Interesting vid, new M3 vs new RS4 vs old C63s

    White car has been serviced by me for virtually all it’s life. Just saying ;) Stock though, despite me nagging the owner for some time 🤣

    Dealers eh?

    Asked by a pal to look at this car Sytner have for sale… https://video.citnow.com/vtCjhFqr5yc It’s not even got the correct number plates on it. SE66XDX is an Audi Q3. I suspect it should be SE68XDX, but honestly!

    Mercedes child car seat

    I have for sale this Britax Romer KID06 child seat. It is the Mercedes branded version which incorporates the transponder which turns off the passenger front and side airbags when it is fitted to the front passenger seat of a Mercedes car. It’s in tidy used condition, with only a little wear on...

    Tesla model 3 performance

    So, I came up against one of these yesterday out in the wild. I was waiting at a set of lights on a duel carriageway (sic), and it drew up alongside. My C63 is tuned, and the tyres were warm as I’d already been enjoying myself. He gave it some beans as the lights changed because I noticed the...

    Audi RS E-tron GT

    Or Taycan in a frock. I had a bit of time with one of these today. Would I buy one? No, not really. I was going to say I would if it was £50k instead of £120k, but having thought about it some more I wouldn’t, even at £50k. Initial impressions, the cabin is quite nice. Quality materials...

    Corrosion, W205

    I thought we’d seen the last of Mercedes galloping rust bug. Maybe not… 2017 W205 C250. Bottom corner of the driver’s door.

    This was a lucky catch!

    My SLK55 had been annoying me with a persistent oil drip from the rear main crankshaft seal for a little while, but I also had in the back of my mind that O ring business on the oil pump pickup tube. This is a naturally aspirated M113, 5.4 litre unit. V8, natch ;) There were no particular...

    Yay! It’s fixed!

    8 months ago the roof packed up. Not a huge issue, I know these inside out. Identified the faulty limit switch, same one I’ve replaced on sooo many customer cars over the years. £104 for a new one. Oh no. Big problem. The part is no longer available from Mercedes!! I’ve scoured loads of online...

    I have a disease….

    I thought perhaps I was cured, but alas no. I seem to have reaquired an SLK55 I have owned once before. I sold it to a dear friend a few years back, and circumstances changed and she needed it gone. Such a good car I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Box stock apart from KW v3’s that I fitted...

    Goodwood today, 19/12/20

    Goodness me, that was an emotional morning! I'm not a huge fan of the rain on a trackday, and it was biblical at times. Spotted Olly from PCS, but when I came back from my first session they had packed up and gone. The scary moments were too numerous to mention, but a quarter turn of oppo at...

    2003 C32 AMG estate.

    I’m going to sell my car after 17 happy years. It’s a 2003 C32 in Jasper blue. These cars were hard to find in anything except silver at the time. I bought it through MB of Birmingham, it was a demonstrator in Ireland, but in their group at the time. It shows as no previous owners as a result...

    AMG GT3 at the Nürburgring

    Shmee, so not everyone’s cup of tea, but goodness me, the car is fast!

    Now then, these are rare...

    Ok, it's all the money, and a bit more, but the mileage is good, and the colour is stunning. Interior a bit light for a mucky pup like me, but overall I like. Just up the road from me, and I know the owner of the business. If anyone wants me to check it out, just ask. Go on. Please! 2004 (53)...
