    2001 AMG E55 W210 (Facelift) £3750

    I bought this lovely example from a member on here 3 1/2 years ago. He really looked after it and I've tried to keep that up with regular, Assyst dictated, servcing and also doing any ancilliary works required, regardless of cost. It's for sale partly as I don't use it enough, averaging 2,500...

    2002 Triumph Bonneville America £2995

    Hi All! Not a Mercedes, 'Im afraid (I'm keeping the E55, for now ;)), but one of my other interests, my first 'Big' Bike. The insurance runs out in a little while and since buying a 2011 Triumph Thruxton I just can't see me getting enough decent weekends to get much further use out of the...

    Had my 1st motorbike accident today

    Today I broke my golden rule of not going out on two wheels when its raining, and, perhaps deservedly, reaped the reward. I was on my way to Carnaby Street for the a rideout to Buckingham Palace and on to some Mod Music gig in the east end. I got all of a mile or so up the road, when I lost...

    The tangerine Dream - a new toy!

    As an ongoing part of my post big "4-0" mid-life crisis, here is another somewhat pointless purchase bought for no real reason other than to make me smile :D. Of course I have vague notions of one day taking off and driving it around Italy ( ala Peter Moore - Vroom with a view) but not sure the...

    Stupid idea ( been watching too much telly)

    Ive been recording 'Chop Shop' on the DMAX channel, where they take a wrecked/crappy car and make something out of it. Whilst the designs are a little (alot) tastless in general, the guys clearly have skills with metal work (no fibre-glass rubbish) and with some decent designs I reckon they...

    W210 AMG E55 - its nice, yes.

    :bannana: At last I have bonded with my new car. I don't think it was possible whilst the C124 was around, divided loyalties and all that. But having had it cleaned and having a nice drive out over decent roads on Saturday, and seeing it gleaming in all its glory on the drive, I (at last)...

    Aftermarket reversing sensors - via comand?

    I dont have reversing sensors fitted and want to get them with the minimum of effort / irrevesible changes to the car.

    E55 AMG - Probably heresy, but 15" wheels

    I had a nice gentle drive last weekend in the E55 (first for 6 weeks or so) to Bluewater and bck with the daughter and the roads round my way are awful, hardly a smooth bit of tarmac to be found. To improve the comfort of the ride, would it be possibl to fit 15/16" wheels and higher profile...
