I'm best man for my brothers stag do in April (stick with me) and we're going to Munich. The time we're there conveniently coincides with the Spring Fest which is apparently like a smaller Oktoberfest. Has anyone been to either Springfest or Oktoberfest and if so, can you recommend any...

The chap running our course at work at work has an Omega chronograph on his desktop. It's got a sweeping second hand, all the chrono timers work, he can rotate the bezel and the date works. There are plenty of skins for the Windows 7 clock but none of them have the functions listed above...

Has anyone ever claimed work on MB warranty before? My CLK was purchased at MB Loughborough back in the summer and came with 12 months warranty. Ever since I've had it, there's been a distortion that sounded like it was coming from the rear speaker in the drivers door. Anyway - I finally...

I have just got home from a course at Thatcham. What an amazing place! Saw the new B Class in various stages of undress as well as a McLaren MP12C amongst some others. Loads of new innovations coming in the not too distant future and it seem Mercedes are at the forefront of research on a...

My cousin is getting married in Salerno, Italy next year and myself and mrsV6 are planning on going and basing ourselves in Amalfi. Has anyone ever been? Should I fly or drive? Driving would mean stopping 3 or so times en route from Calais I would guess. Flying would mean hiring a car once...

Just seen on the news that seven Royal Marines have been arrested by the Royal Military Police for murder. They were very brief on the details just saying it relates to an "incident in Afghanistan in 2011" and that "there were no civilians involved." Strange Edit: just found this Seven...

A few weeks back I asked a question about buying something new for my car. Anyway - in that thread someone suggested buying and restoring an old watch, so I promptly dropped all ideas of AMG steering wheels or private number plates and chucked in a cheeky bid on this: From a brief bit of...

If, like me, your Sky+HD box is on the opposite side of the room to your Sky router and, like me, you didn't want to hardwire it and were quoted £60 for the wireless adapter fear no more. The adapter is currently £9.99 on the sky.com website with free P&P and will give you access to all the...

Got a couple of whipper-snappers doing a mini detail on mine / the mrs cars today. Detailing has always been something I've scoffed at - with all the talk of different cloths and how many buckets you use etc, but these lads love it and seem to know their stuff too. They're currently...

Sat here watching qualifying at Monza and seeing loads of people coming through the docks last week on their way home from Spa has made me think that a road trip to a European GP next year will be a good thing to do. Anyone done one? Where did you go?

I'm going to spend some money on my CLK Sport. These are the two options: 1. Private number plate. 2. AMG steering wheel with brushed metal gear paddles. My car is a 55 reg (facelift) so a private plate will hide the age nicely. I've found a decent-ish looking number plate sort of...

Although I've only just bought myself a CLK and am very happy with it, I enjoy thinking about what my next car will be and have been looking at the w204 C Class saloon. A few things are confusing me on the differing equipment levels though. There's a Sport, AMG Sport and AMG Sport Plus...

Anyone use a roof rack / box on their CLK? Taking mine on a 2/3 week road trip next year and could do with the extra space. I've looked on a lot of websites that sell roof racks by companies like Thule etc and all of them only stock items for a w208?!

Remember being involved in a thread when I first joined up on here about the sweet science, so I know there's boxing fans on here - but has anyone actually ever stepped into the ring before?

For about a year now I've experienced lower back pain if I've had to drive anywhere for more than about an hour. It's agony in the car, but as soon as I get out and stretch my back it's fine - until I get back into the car! I was blaming the knackered seats and coilover suspension in my 3...

I love my car - 2005(55) CLK 350 Sport, but I don't love the steering wheel. It's skinny, big and doesn't really match the rest of the interior - i.e the AMG mats, alumium trim etc. What are my options for replacing it? Can I go for one of the AMG ones with the paddles on the back instead...

Don't know if anyone will see this, but I just thought I'd say what a pleasant experience buying a car from this dealership was yesterday. I'm most impressed with my two new key rings and Mercedes golf umbrella too! Many thanks

Any forum members from my neck of the woods (East Kent) who can recommend a Mercedes specialist that they use?

I've just bought myself a CLK 350 Sport and it seems to be pretty highly specced. It has the comand option, 6 disc changer in glove box, phone connectivity in arm rest and arial on rear screen. What are my options for my iPhone 4? Do I have to remove the CD changer to install an iPod /...

I'm going to look at at least one, hopefully two w209 CLK 350's this weekend and I've got a few questions that I can't answer by looking at the pictures and, as I've been on nights all week, it's always a bit too late to keep calling the sellers!! Both are pretty similar spec wise - Sport...
