    A Class 'B' Service - Cost and interval to next service?

    Hi all, So I just had my A Class (W169) serviced, the 'B' service. What should I have expected to pay for this, as the £399.38 including VAT seems a little high, especially as I supplied my own oil. The oil I supplied was Mobil 1 0W40 fully synthetic, with the MB 229.5 certification, so this...

    What is this vehicle?

    Anyone idea what type of vehicle this is? The whole thing unfolded to become a DJ booth and sound system, but I suspect that it originally could have unfolded to launch missiles, especially given the satellite dish on the roof at the front. I took the photo in the town square in Tartu...
