As anyone done this? Northcoast500.com It's a bit of a dream of mine, but I doubt I'll do it as I strongly suspect my husband would now not be able to get in/out of my little car due to arthritis. I look at this website so often. So, anyone done it? Anyone done it in a very old car? Best...

Hi I have Maintained a few Mercs. over the years. A couple of 230e w123s a 2.0 w201 and a w124 250D. At the moment I am restoring my 1972 w114 coupe which was my daily driver for about 8 years. It has an OM602 diesel fitted from a w124. (apologies to the purists!) My daily driver is now a...

Irish Coast Guard helicopter goes missing: One crew member found as search continues for three others Very very sad. And what makes it more difficult to bear is the fact that this is a rescue helicopter... the crew were risking their lives to save others. I hope they are all found a live and...

My 2012 PPP C63 was due a B service and transmission flush in a couple of months (I'm at 31k miles currently) but i normally get the jobs done early so I know everything is A-Ok. I got the obligatory quote from MB and nearly choked at a £1050 bill for a job that didn't even include plugs or...

Hi All Want to refurb the factory 18's that came on with the car while I am looking for the new wheels I want. Just want a good painted finish, rather than diamond cut, as I have had enough of water ingression between the metal and lacquer with previous diamond cut finish alloys on other...

I said I would do a fresh post.....so...... It would be nice to have a little meet up with some equally silly Merc owners for chats, car admiring and general car chat. A Saturday would be best for me. Last time we met at the Woodman's Arms at Hammerpot , West Sussex and I think most people...

Has anybody on here ever dealt with them,if so were they any good?They seem to give the best quotes out of all the discount dealers that I have seen.

I'm relatively new to this forum, but always been active in previous car forums, so willing to try and arrange a South Coast Meet for AMG Owners some time in May. To start off I'd like to get some preferences on the preferred location and a meeting point, so to start off I'm looking for your...

Anyone done the North Coast 500? Considering doing the trip later this year. Any good or bad comments welcome.

Hi all am new to this forum and going to be looking for lots of hints, tips and parts to help breathe a new lease of life back into my recently aquired W210 E300TD. I am no mechanic so will be looking for local help as well as guides here on the forum. Current project list includes...

Evening everyone, yet again I am here to ask you for some more advice and opinions. :o Our second UK road trip will probably take us around the entire island counter-clockwise which means the east will be first on the list. However, I still don't have a proper clue where to drive and what to...

Hi all, thank you for sharing such brilliant information on this forum. After checking a few out I've just picked up today a 320, its 12 years old with 60,250 miles on the clock...........bright silver with black leather interior. Its in sound condition cosmetically and mechanically and...

We've fancied the Amalfi Coast for a while, and 2015 could be the year we go. Our default for European holidays is to drive, but given the distance we would consider flying (maybe to Naples?) and hiring a car. Suggestions for travel, nice family-friendly hotels, and best placed...

Hello all, Since March I have been the proud owner of a '55-plate CL55 AMG Kompressor, and have been meaning to get on here for a while! The car itself is the classic silver with black leather combo, which I always said I'd avoid but actually looks really smart. Not a massively optioned...

B]Day one: Getting to Skye[/B] As you know from the thread in the Benz bin I decided to tour the Isle of Skye with my time off. I had decided that as I had an immensely enjoyable tour last March towards the end, I would repeat the idea but tour somewhere differently. Thing is, the weather...

If anyone is interested there will be a group meeting up for a drive around Portsmouth area, 16 cars have signed up so far and 8 are AMG's. Its being organised on PH but if anyone is interested and not a member on there just post here and I will put your name down. The only ones I...

My cousin is getting married in Salerno, Italy next year and myself and mrsV6 are planning on going and basing ourselves in Amalfi. Has anyone ever been? Should I fly or drive? Driving would mean stopping 3 or so times en route from Calais I would guess. Flying would mean hiring a car once...

I'm confused Virgin have lost the franchise bid, seemingly as First Group have agreed to pay the Ministry of Transport a higher amount of money. Is this why our trains tickets are so expensive, because the operator's are bidding progressively higher amounts for the franchise? Anyone...

If this was you? I salute you sir. Not since banger racing came back into fashion in it's demolition derby format have I seen such car handling. Your control as you manged to undertake entire lines of traffic forcing all around you to scatter like a flock of seagulls. No. It wasn't your...
