bye

I have sadly parted ways with MB, deciding to part ex my CLS for a ........ VW Polo 1.4. With my pending nuptials around the corner, the misses to be has told me to get rid, so that money can be spent on something more worthwhile. Admittedly her argument that I only drive the car c.80 miles...

Well the time has come to part company with 'das beast'. We had a good run, but her drink problem was costing me too much money, so it's time to move on to a younger model. I'm picking up my 3 series next Saturday, good car, all mod cons, but probably won't be as exciting on the autobahn, as...

Gents I'd like to thank you for all your advise and comments over the last 18 months, but due to financial changes I have to part with my C32 (Piston Heads) and get something a little more sensible. Thanks Again Swoz

I adore my W124 Coupe, everything is sorted, comfortable, fast and effortless, but I should have used my head and stuck with the idea of buying an estate, which is much more practical. After several trips carrying heavy samples (each of my heavier wine bins weighs in excess of 20kg) I decided...

Well after just over 8 years on this forum its time to go, a number of reasons which I wont share. I was one of the original 5-6 people first on this forum and it has grown and grown. What does sadden me though is the number of genuine people we have lost, Even the people I joined with, we...

I cashed in the S class yesterday and collected a ‘new’ 59 plate CLS on lease from Mercedes Direct near the NEC. A manager from MB had gently run the car in for me and in doing so had shaved the guts of £17k from the list price.:D I say gently as the mpg meter which had not been reset since the...

or is it? just shuffle bernie off to his boat and maybe we can all move forward a bit now? Mind you, Todt wouldn't be helpful either, but better than Max the Buffooooon

Well.. my W202 is all but gone. Doing a deal for a straight swap for an offroad prepared Land Rover Discovery.. a toy I've been wanting for a long time, my Dad will be picking it up for me in a couple weeks and if lucky, I may get to drive again early in January.. :cool:

Just replaced the 17" Ceginus (AKA Evo II, AKA Mille Miglia) wheels with staggered AMG 18" 2-piece. Been out for a drive this evening ... no harshness issues at all (phew), possibly the ADS masks any slight difference between 17" and 18"? Downside is it would probably look better lowered...

I've ordered a 2008 Lexus IS250 SE-L (Multimedia) so the baby is going :( My missus tried and tried to convince me to keep it but I fancied a change after just over 3 years of trouble-free motoring. I decided on the Lexus after test driving it on the same day as test driving the Jaguar XF...

Well guys and girls, I just wanted to drop in and wish you all a VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS as I will be off line in the next day or so until the new year as I move house and try to get connections sorted. Hope you all have a wonderful and safe festive period. Cheers Mark

I have given up on Mercedes and exchanged my 2005 c class 230 a/g sport with lots of extras for a BMW. it was all down to poor service from local dealer. The last straw was when I had an indicator showing a fault with the air bag. I contacted the dealer to be told "service are not answering...

After 1 year of ongoing troubles with my 2003 C220 CDi Elegance Auto, I thought enough is enough. :mad: Ditched the Merc and bought me a Toyota. :cool: Thanks for all the help and advice in the past. bt btw, sysop can you delete my account pls.

...seems like I'm in a spate of getting rid of cars at the moment! Just had a call from the soon-to-be-ex wife, to say that she's just bent our Honda Jazz. By all accounts the front and rear ends are a mess, and the rear suspension has collapsed. Got a settlement figure from the finance...

...to my new E38 728i BMW! The Hyundai Coupe has served me well over the last year and a half, but it was time for a change. So, here is a 2.8 litre straight six petrol engine in a car that's longer than my E class. Looked after well, with 88000 miles on the dial, the on board computer is...

I am thinking about selling the Silver Arrow towards the end of the year for one of these: 1998 SL60 AMG R129 SL55 AMG R129 SL73 AMG C215 CL55 AMG (NA) As you can probably tell it's for a bit more power though the CL I think would be a nice change. Like all my cars they'd have to be spotless...

Decided finally today its time for a change. Tried hardc to get an ML to do the job - nope - rusty pile of poo, broken trim (on nearly new ones, let alone the 'old' ones at 20K... so I have ordered one of these:- £20,999.... + vat.. Still have the 1972 coupe though. :)

I only have a 2.3 W210, it has monoblocks with 265 rears so there is quite a lot of grip but I have noticed this change in weather has shown the Bridgestone tires achilles heal, they are poo in the cold as far as I`m concerned, should have just gone for the Michelins, however there was enough...
