I've not frequented the forum for a while but thought I'd leave this here in case it might be of interest. This is a great car which I've thoroughly enjoyed over the last few months but an incoming Tesla later in June meant that either this or the GLC has to go. The GLC "won." I have lots more...

Aside from my dabble with a Smart car as a commuter whip, I’ve not had an MB since my W212 in 2016. My other half is coming out of the company car scheme as she’s simply not doing the miles to warrant the tax take these days, so I’m happy to be picking up a lightly used GLC350d Premium Plus...

Subject to a couple of personal ducks falling into a row I'm contemplating going back to a W124 as a lightly-used daily or a third car. I spotted this on Car and Classic. Looks very shiny and is in my favourite colour with a light interior. The price seems leaning towards the too good to be true...

I love the look ofthese. At £23K fully loaded they look like a bargain. Trying to work out why need one... ...and how to explain it to the other half. (mid-life crisis should cover that off) I think an MX-5 is probably a better value option but there's something about a small Italian...

I went and got her bright and early this morning. Pretty much last of the line, there won't be many more delivered now before the Disco 5 comes out next year. Initial impressions are great, properly spacious and comfortable, and a doddle to drive. Pleased with my choice of the light interior...

The lease is up on my W212 at the end of August and I'm handing the car back a month early to make way for the new one. BCA are picking the car up and, at no extra cost, I've an inspection booked on 21st July where they will tell me what they charges they'll make for wear and tear and then...

Crackdown on driver behaviour reported Motorist caught committing 'indecent act' in police crackdown on driving offences - BBC News It reports the penalty for using your mobile phone but not that for 'using' the contents if your underpants. How bored could you be that playing with yourself...

I'm on Freedom contracts mailing list and these MB deals just landed in my inbox in case they're of interest to any members. W205 for 340ish/month seems a good enough deal. Mercedes GLE Coupe 350D AMG Line with Metallic Paint 9 + 23 10K PA £399.99 + VAT Mercedes A180P Sport Manual 5 Door...

World T20 final this afternoon. England V West Indies, is anyone else going to be watching? I've got a few mates coming round and have a couple of cases of Peroni chilling down just in case we get thirsty.

I need to replace the 212 with a seven seater and one of these is top of my list at the moment because as much as I want to I can't fall in love with the GL (if that what it's still called :dk:) I've had very little luck managing to get a test drive thus far; a combination of working away...

In a hotel. Alone. 200 miles from home. Boredom sets in. I. Must. Be. Strong. Resist... I love this I can just imagine the telephone conversation with SWMBO later.

I'm taking my football mad 8 year old to his first live game at The Emirates on 11th May and wondered if anyone lived comfortable walking distance with a spare space on their drive. I would provide remuneration in the form of beer, wine, iTunes vouchers or a straightforward tenner :D

She appears to be a forgotten or somewhat unloved S211. The reg number is RIA xxx (I don't recall the numbers). I drive past her on Lydford Road on my way into the office. Looks to be a good spec (well there's definitely a pano roof) but clearly hasn't moved for some time, surrounded by...

I've a long boring, back story which I shan't bother regurgitating but circumstances dictate I need a big fillet of beef and some monkfish delivered, waiting for me when I get back home from a week away next Saturday. I've Googled and can see there's any number of people offering this service...

For the front passenger side window of a coupe. I bought it to replace the faulty one in my old car but never got around to it. Genuine MB part, unused. £120 delivered. £110 collected. PM me on here for details.

You can tell people need to hit their quarter-end targets. I got a list in my inbox from Freedom Contracts with some good deals on the run out W204; “Mercedes C220 CDI Executive SE Premium 5Dr Estate Manual With Metallic 9+23 10K PA £189.99+Vat.” It works out to under £300/month all in...

BBC News - Motorist on M25 caught driving at 149mph, study reveals Lots of "Daves' here. Some of the non-motorway 'records' (although I'm not sure that's the right word) sound pretty scary.

I thought that I'd share my good experience at the hands of replacementmercedeskeys.co.uk today. My W203 only had one key and I needed a spare. having had a truly lousy time trying to source one from any MB dealership in Herts (phones not answered, calls not returned etc. I finally got a...

Could anyone with a C32 send me the distances from the side strips and door-shut please? I've managed to get two now so want to put them on and would rather not resort to squared paper and a photo off the internet :-) TIA

I thought that I'd take a few photos of the car today. Cleaned it in the sun, the rain started just as I took it out to photograph :mad: So here are a couple of shots I grabbed before the rain set in properly...
