    A study in human nature

    Causeways that are designed to be flooded and have height markers should be left open for the public to decide for themselves whether to cross or not. As a Landrover Defender driver in Bedfordshire there were three such causeways in the local area that flooded regularly in winter to varying...

    AMG Service Centres - Are they different???

    Looking to service my C63 - are the AMG service centres any different from the normal dealerships in terms of carrying out a service on my car, or are they just charging more for the AMG logo on the wall in the showroom?? Or is a mechanic used to servicing the 2003 A class going to bugger...

    C63 Continental Contisport3 MO

    The standard tyres on the rear of my car give no protection to the wheels at all but the same tyres (narrower) on the front do give reasonable rim protection. Anyone know why the difference??? I'm confused and cheesed off that the rear runs are so exposed!?!

    2009 C63 AMG Front brake pads

    Performance pack car and when I bought MB pads for it there is a little leaflet in the box warning about SBC braking system safety issues. Is there ANY chance my car has this system or can I just get on with changing the pads without worrying about limb loss and other issues that require MB to fix??

    Small rear end bump

    What car and how old? MX5 bumper repair last week after similar incident as 2 quotes varied hugely. 500 v 380. One argued that he uses genuine mfr spec pairs and laquers and heated booth to avoid filling or replacing bumper. Other argues that can't be done and filler is all that is needed :(

    Roundabout question

    You may be correct but then the other driver is still in the wrong for getting irate at the local driver as the situation is of his own doing.

    Today I've mostly been undertaking...

    I think it's time the law was changed to allow undertaking as per France. Most of the time it wouldn't make any difference because our roads are so much busier but for that odd occasion where a safe undertake presents itself it shouldn't be a crime IMHO

    Biggest wind up done by another motorist ?

    "...many things wrong in society..." is no doubt something I too will say in my later years haha. I'm upset that you used me as your example there as every example you then give of good and courteous driving is me personified on the road. If someone indicates to join my lane I am the first to...

    Biggest wind up done by another motorist ?

    When did car insurance get determine by driving style?? You opted for a black box have you? ;) Road rage is all the rage because people get angry at people who don't drive with awareness or consideration. You're getting yourself all mixed up there....

    Biggest wind up done by another motorist ?

    Hmmm I disagree in many ways.... People who choose to queue in an orderly manner choose to do so and should not be riled by those who choose to make progress by using quieter lanes. Simply joining a queue because it's there is not moral high ground it simply wreaks of a disengaged and unaware...
