    Camera in Motion

    I thought long and hard before deciding to post this, as I remember the general consensus of video in motion on this forum is vehemently against it. A view that, for the record, I agree with. However..... My GLE coupe has a most fantastic 360 camera and, due to the size of the car and not...

    The good, the bad and the ugly....

    Evening all! Well then, after a couple of years away from Mercedes sampling the utter sh!tness of Audi reliability (in an R8)...followed by the wonders of Porsche perfection (911, Cayenne, Macan and briefly 718 Boxster....but the less said about the 718 the better), I find myself in the tricky...

    SD card problem

    Has anyone had issues with SD cards on the latest Merc Comand system? I've got an SD card with speed cam POI's on it which worked just fine in our GLE. The same SD card in the GT doesn't work - 'Personal POIs' under the Nav menu is constantly greyed out and when you try and select it from...

    Ahem....another incoming E63

    :wallbash: Well, it seems I can't make my mind up :o And I'm sure this is of no surprise to most people :rolleyes: However.....a couple of scenarios have combined to make me reach a decision on the GLE whilst I still can with relatively limited pain: 1. My house build saga continues...

    AMG GT has arrived

    Finally! After the 10 month wait my car has arrived. Deserves a new thread me thinks :p After all my concerns over colour and interior I ended up settling for the standard red. Honestly, I'm delighted with the result because the dealers Hyacinth Red GT demo was in the showroom yesterday and...

    Most outrageous SUV??

    Don't ask....because I can't explain :wallbash: Other than I should never have sold the ML as I've regretted it since. Not that there's anything specifically wrong with the E63, because it's actually one of (maybe even THE) best driving all-rounder I've had. The ML isn't as good in many...

    New house build

    I happened to briefly mention on another thread (about a potential incoming E63) that I'm (trying!) to fund a new build that I've mostly designed and, to my disappointment, there was more interest in the house than the car :wall bash: What is this place!?!.....a car forum or cowboy builders? :D...

    Possible incoming E63

    Those that know me will surely agree that, by my standards, our ML63 has lasted very well indeed - I'm approaching 10 months in ONE car :eek: Ha....and it's not even mine, but the missus takes what she's given ;) Anyway, circumstances have dictated this rather than any specific desire to...

    AMG GT Test Drive

    My dealer has now received their demo GT S and FINALLY, I'm going to get to drive one! Only 7 months after I ordered it.....although with 3.5 months still to go before mine arrives a test drive is probably just going to be a big tease. You can see from my C63 S thread how impressed I am with...

    Two days in the new C63 S

    Evening people, just posted this on PH, though you chaps might like a read too..... Returned from a couple of weeks holiday on Thursday and went into Merc to pick up my next loan car (my dealer agreed to keep me in a car until my GT arrives since they took my SLS off me back in November) - my...

    Top Gear Tonight

    At least some of the show has potential to be mildly interesting - it features the AMG GT tonight :D Should fare well given the GT is Top Gear magazines sports car of the year.

    GT S Spec....and other updates

    With the GT ordered a few months ago and my (second) SLS well behind me with the dealer having now sold it on, I'm well into a lengthy stint behind the wheel of whatever loan car the dealer decide I should have (as part of letting the SLS go early, I negotiated for the dealer to provide me with...

    Bought a S205 today

    Well, not me exactly....but the father in law - I've done enough car buying recently :o (although I still ended up sorting the deal out for him!) He currently has a 2 year old C220cdi S204 and I've got to say, my first experience of the W205 demo today was very impressive. The whole car...

    SLS Sold.....GT Incoming

    Well, my second stint at SLS ownership is shortly going to come to an end :( It's probably a little sooner than even I expected (but probably no surprise to anyone else given my form!) but the stars have aligned meaning this time, the situation is very different. When I was considering the SLS...

    AMG visit today

    Went to (finally!) pick my SLS up today so here a few ramblings from my visit.... Firstly and most excitingly, I was shown round an AMG GT :D Aesthetically, it's exactly as per the pictures - I wondered if it'd look better in person but it's no different. It looks quite sharp and contemporary...

    SLS Design Studio Upgrades....almost finally complete

    Now being on my second SLS meant that I really needed a second round of AMG Design Studio upgrades....AMG ownership just calls out for any kind of excuse to travel to Affalterbach ;) I'm getting kind of excited because I've been without the car since mid-August and I collect it on Friday :)...

    ML63 AMG....Gemclean'd!!

    I'm posting this in the General section because the thread is as much about the car as the detailing but a big thanks the Michael at Gemclean for shoehorning me into his schedule (so much that he worked well into the night!) to give my ML a spruce up and gtechniq coating. I'm sure Michael will...

    ML63 AMG Now Purchased

    Fellow TRAX attendees, you're now safe from the BMW :D With the SLS still in Germany and only our BMW M3 to take to the MB Club stand at TRAX next week, something had to be done....so I've bought an ML63 AMG for the event. OK, thats not strictly true as that would be a little extreme, but...

    Pleasantly surprised

    Insurance renewal is due and my confirmation from Admiral stated over £1,500 for the SLS. A little more than I expected, but I wasn't surprised. Until I did a Go Compare quote that came in at £840 :D Even better, when I rang them to accept the cheaper policy they sold me a multicar policy...
