battle

Some sobering stats. The first day of the Somme offensive, July 1, 1916, resulted in 57,470 British casualties, 19,240 of them deaths. That's greater than the total combined British casualties in the Crimean, Boer, and Korean wars. By the time the Somme offensive ended in November...

Loaded up the Merc with some friends and went to Goodwood yesterday, the queues in and out were horrendous, but worth it. Delayed for a couple of hours the sun then appeared and these are a selection of shots.

Returned from a fantastic trip to the AMG factory late Monday night. I had a feeling my car was going to be a bit battered as we hit a new stretch of autobahn and I got blasted with newly laid chippings:wallbash: The motor was in a bit of a state as the weather was pretty bad on both legs of...

VqUnik7ozvs I thought the CLA45 would be faster. Surprised with the results of this test considering the Mercedes has more horsepower than the BMW. Specs and details in the article .

At least they picked the right car 2014 Audi RS5 vs 2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 507 Coupe! - Head 2 Head Ep. 51 - YouTube Sorry if it's a repost but I did look and couldn't see it had been posted already.

I've finally found a set of 22's for my RRS, only problem being that: A) They're in Battle, East Sussex And B) I've got to collect in person. So if anyone is near to there and wouldn't mind picking them up for me (I'd pay for them first) then I'll arrange a courier to collect them...

Some of you might remember that back in April I fulfilled a lifelong ambition and flew with a Spitfire over the white cliffs of Dover and Capel le Fern. It was an amazing experience and I took hundreds of photos a couple of which are below. My flight was arranged by Steve Burt of...

Well finally got around to giving it a quick polish, so thought i'd post some piccys at last!! :) It's a 1989 W124 300TE 4Matic with 225,000 miles on it, not perfect by any means but goes like the clappers & has an unnerving appetite for fuel!! :D 4Matic system wants to work after topping up...

OK so some plank drove into my E430 estate at the weekend and has broken the front bumper and left a very deep sharp scar on the front wing that will I think require replacement. The car has done 105,000, is a pretty decent car really has full good history and I guess has quite a lot of life...

Last year Ferrari and Maclaren were caught up in an epic battle to the death, and since then their relative performance seems to have been hampered, possibly because development of the 2009 cars were put on ice in favour of eeking out every last drop from the 2008 cars. This year it looks...

and the devil in me is lusting after buying an SL500. :devil: I find myself scouring the Internet late into the night, searching high and low for that elusive face-lift model with a five speed box, cream leather, in blue with a blue rag-top and panoramic hardtop for no more money than I...

Documentary BBC 2 21.00 tonight, part of the Power To The People series. Well worth watching and wondering why, if all is well as we are told, people have to resort to this sort of thing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/power_to_the_people/6613759.stm And yes I was there. Not on...
