annual

Epping 4.15am It's still dark, car was loaded yesterday and I only hope I haven't forgot something. 1,2,3,4 all in and we are ready to go. Sat nav estimates 1h45min to Folkestone and there are no reported accidents. Perfect. A406 A13 M25 M20 should be a nice ride at this time of a day...

Can anyone recommend a good annual insurance policy covering rental car collision and theft excesses, please? As expected, Google turns up a number of options, but personal recommendation of a provider / policy would be appreciated.

I appreciate that this is a Mercedes forum but I'm hoping some of you may have had experience of high annual mileage ptrol engined cars. My friend has test driven a 09 plate Peugeot 1.4 VTi Sport. Peugeot 207 1.4 VTi Sport [95] 5dr 35,000 MILES,Service History Its current mileage is just over...

Just had an email from my local main dealer with this year's winter wheels and tyres offers - no use to me as I have them for my S204, but anyone thinking of getting them, ask your main dealer for a price! A couple of years ago I bought 16" wheels for my (then) S203 for £800, including fitting...

Hi all, I received a funny email few days ago and wanted to share with you,here we go: some of these pics reminded me of Top Gear.

Just got back from the annual trip to the south of France and back and yes, I was done for speeding again. This time it wasn't near an airport or ferry terminal but was about an hour south of Le Mans. I'd just set off on the last leg of the journey home and was deliberately tying to keep...

There was a small right up in one of the classic papers this week about an annual w123 day on August 26th,with an email address for more info,however when i tried to send an email it was returned saying address doesn't exist,does anyone on here have any more informtion,as being a new w123 owner...

i've read a fair few petrol V diesel threads & the general opinion seems to be if you're doing under 10k miles per year, petrol would be the better option. i just wondered if anyone on here has any actual experience of lower mileage on a reasonably new diesel, perhaps under 2 years old...

Just thought you might be interested in the costs for the year excluding the car purchase of course. Insurance was £380. (Nov 09 to Nov 10) 2 new rear tyres £460. (June 2010) Service £428. (Nov 2010) Total £1268. According to the car trip. I have done 7086miles since I first picked it...

Looking to purchase a car from Southern Ireland and I'm not sure if I'm being spun a yarn or not, but I'm being told that there isn't the equivalent of an annual MOT.....is this true?

Is it just me who pays out more than 1,000 pounds in maintenance/repairs each year? :eek: My car's a '95 w124 e280 on 150k and can't be worth more than 1,500 quid. I keep telling myself "this year it will be a couple of hundred.....":( I've absolutely no mechanical ability at all, so DIY...

Spoke with John this afternoon. During the course of the conversation the Pilgrimage was mentioned. Given his current condition I was a little worried that he may have wanted to miss this year. After having my ears burnt I agreed to post this. Usual rules apply. Max 30 people. Mrs. W has...

I didnt take anything like as many as I normally do - so my apologies to anyone I missed :) A lot were taken later in the day so I missed a few people who had already left Not a single car pic as the street was full of them - This was so much more about the people, The cars may have...

Dear John, I'd like to ask if there is any chance to do 5th Annual Pilgrimage at your crib? I really enjoyed every minute today and hope to see you next year! Also, it would be a pleasure for me to be any help! Anyone else for the next year? Many thanks in advance! Chris

Its January already. Time to test the waters with the 4th Annual Pilgrimage. Naturally will have to speak with Glojo (John) and his better half. So anyone up for this? (silly question time). Proposed date to be notified but as usual probably August.

Its a little early I know but just for a giggle who would be interested in this outstanding annual event. Provisionally August but not the Bank Holiday weekend. A chance to stay in The Anchorage Hotel, a place of national interest for the aspiring OAP. A further chance to find out what makes...

Well, winter is upon us and it seemed to be a shame not to have the usual debate... especially as this year I can say something :p Topic: With winter upon us, are Winter tyres, all weather tyres or Snow chains in the boot most appropriate? (don't forget your location... I have a feeling the...

Hi, Can anyone give me an idea into the annual costs for the above car? I've got a W220 CDI now and as I do higher than normal miles I allow for 12p per mile plus around £4k, servicing £97+VAT PCM (20k PA basis) and at an average of 28mpg, around 15p a mile for diesel so 20,000 miles costs...

Its comming up to the first anniversary of out trip to Torquay. As you will know this get to gether was awesome for all who attended. Our host and hostess were unbelievable in their generosity. So, running up the flag so to speak, how do members feel about another "bash" at Torquay? I have...
