    Have I lost the plot completely?

    The inspirations are lovely, they have a few extras over the standard cars, if it is a genuine 30,000 miles and if it has full main dealer service history which it should at that mileage (useful for claiming on the rust warranty just in case) well I think it would be well worth a look, check the...

    I am thinking of putting a new set of wheels on my ML270, does anyone know what is the standard off set of the wheels, is it 35, 40 or 50? The standard wheels have 17" rims, I was thinking of going to 18 or 19" as it still needs to be capable of getting down dirt tracks and across fields etc...

    Mercedes Receives 10,000 Orders for New GLK-Class in Western Europe

    The more I see it the more I like it, Compared to the guy standing next to it, unless he is a giant it is going to be more estate car height, I think they could be on to a winner here, I would be interested to see one in the flesh. Any ideas how much they are abroad?

    Mercedes Receives 10,000 Orders for New GLK-Class in Western Europe

    I think it looks good and the interior looks great, a smaller alternative to the ML, I have no idea what the spec is but if it was a 2.0 diesel turbo, selectable 4 wheel drive and adjustable suspension height it would tick the right boxes for me.
