    What makes this picture so sad?

    They're only magazines. And I've read them all. So why does it feel so wrong to take them to the tip? (Sorry, recycling centre.) Fellow hoarders, I need some sympathetic words.

    BBC article about fast estates

    BBC News - 'School run supercars' Not the article I was expecting at all when I saw the headline. I thought it was going to be a load of Prius-driving Mumsnetters imploring us to 'Think about the children'. But no, it seems there's this new phenomenon of luxury executive cars that are quite...

    How many festive miles did you do?

    Got back to London yesterday after a week and a bit of family and friend visiting up North and was shocked to work out I'd covered the best part of 1000 miles. One pair of grandparents are in Leeds, the other in Doncaster and there was also a quick blast up to Whitley Bay, but I wasn't...

    Anyone with 19" wheels on W212?

    I'm sure I'm not the first to say it, but to me, the latest E class looks underwheeled, even with 18" AMGs on it. I'm toying with the idea of swapping them for 19" (either AMG again or Brabus) and wondered if anyone has done likewise, and more importantly, what is the affect on the ride? I...

    Hello from a Mercedes Benz owner

    That's the first time I've written that, and it still feels a bit weird. After 11 years of wandering around the forecourts (and forums) of various German manufacturers, I've stumbled into the Mercedes one. A couple of weeks ago, I traded in my RS 6 Avant for an Obsidian Black E350 CDI...
