    Amg Pl calendar giveaway

    Was website changed in 2019 or 2020? My previous logon is gone and now you have to use email to logon. And it says, it doesn't have my email on the database. I missed the calendar for second year. I see, you have to use Mercedes Me Id. Well, no calendars for me then, in future.

    New E-class and Mercedes-Benz UK

    Yes, I think option cull is due to WLTP, because car should be tested with every option combination possible, which mean a lot of tests. And because we have RHD cars, options seems to be limited. But LHD cars offer much more options. Not sure how ordering RHD car in Europe deals with WLTP...

    Cobham services breakfast car meet 23rd August

    I might be going to Cobham services if it's not raining, but not sure if it will be in Audi A8 or Abarth 124. I can't go to New Forest meeting, no Mercedes in posession.

    2021 W223 S-Class - Fully Uncovered - Full Interior shots Released on Page 3

    I can't get S-class, because it would just give wrong impression, but A8 blends nicely and no one cares about it. Regarding huge screens, I don't think I will get modern Mercedes any time soon.

    Am I odd or have I seen the light?

    I don't bother with cars that are leased and don't belong to me. I had one that I hardly washed and kept it dirty (dusty) on purpose, to see if anyone scratched it or just touched it. It spent a lot of time at airports and it was good way to see if anyone came too close to it. It went to auction...

    How many change to winter wheels and tyres?

    I change tyres every year since 2013 (was doing it before 2005, while living in Europe). I had to buy set of tyres for SLK, while moving to Germany for couple of months. Tyres had correct size for my next 3 Mercedes cars, so put them on and used cars in Europe in winter. I posted pictures...

    Your old car's mileage?

    I check MOTs of my old cars from time to time to see if they are still around. In most cases, they must have been bought as second car as they do around 5K per year. Exceptions are: C63 which does 2K a year (I'm considering buying it back when it's for sale) and SLK which did some decent miles...

    MB World - Brooklands - Sunday Sept 15th 11:00am

    I messed up and booked something for Sunday 11.00am in East London. Going to check out the cat (not spelling mistake, not a car). Totaly forgot about our meet. Enjoy the sunshine.

    GAP Insurance Liquidation

    I paid £280 for Gap for 5 years, Return to Invoice, £25K claim limit, on used SLK. That was with gapinsurance123.co.uk but this brand doesn't sell policies any more. They allowed me to change for free to different SLK, 2 years into policy. If you go to their website, there are links to two...

    GAP Insurance Liquidation

    According to other forum, 3 GAP companies went bust in last couple of years. Re-insuring to Return to Invoice or Return to Value for new car could be problematic now. Usually there's 90 day from new for that. I had GAP underwritten by Qudos Insurance A/S (“Qudos”), an insurer based in Denmark...

    MERCEDES TRACKER

    I think my Audi has similar technologies to predict road ahead and lights can be adapted. It's changes lights automatically for left and right hand traffic. It's the previous model, so newer must have even more spying stuff. So even if I don't use navigation, my car is using it all the time...

    Car Storage - My Experience

    I wanted place with short notice, so I can drive my car whenever weather is nice. Notice of few days is not good with UK weather ;-) My friend kept his Nissan GTR in one of these places and it limited his usage. Finding garage to rent in my area is almost impossible. I've seen only one so far...

    Car Storage - My Experience

    There's a few places between Gatwick and Caterham, I looked them up some time ago. What put me off, is need to notify the company 24h before coming to take the car out and also some limited opening times. I agree, they shouldn't let anyone take photos there. These are the policies of most car...

    Interesting turn of events here

    I saw group of volunteers in Smallfield in Surrey. There's 30 speed limit and then 20 by the junction. The junction is not tricky itself but there are parking spaces on the main road just before/past it, so you have to check both sides of the road when turning into main road, otherwise you might...

    Garage floor tiles

    Looks very nice. I put tiles mentioned first page and I'm not happy about them. As someone mentioned before, they move and are not 100% flat. If I was doing it again, I would probably put porcelain tiles. Easier to wash and not moving.

    Poor service

    Don't get Audi, you may be even more frustrated. I wasted 2.5h on Wednesday to drop off and pick up the car. It wasn't fixed but when trying to book it again they got me so annoyed with their lack of dates or "can't do" attitude, that I decided to put Audi in the garage and drive other car for a...

    For those that like TomTom go

    What data on my phone? I don't even have any contacts on it. My data are compromised every day at every page I had to register any by every company that keeps that data.

    For those that like TomTom go

    I use TomTom GO on Android 7 and it's fine. However, last upgrade I run on it, screw TT and I had to reinstall it couple of times before it started working. Since then it lost some touch sensitivity. I didn't install any new Android updates since then, to make sure TomTom stays working. I use...
