commute

I am in the market soon (once I have sold my Porsche) to buy a Mercedes CL but like to keep an open mind and look at alternatives, my budget is something like up to £16,000. The E Class coupe Blue Efficiency diesels look tempting while not in the same league as the CL's, they seem good value...

Driving to the office this morning. Crisp blue skies with a few wispy clouds. Sun just peeking over the top of the Cotswolds escarpment. Frosted fields to right and left, stretching to the hills on one side and the mist covered Severn on the other. Car nicely warmed and creamy smooth. One of...

Well it was really cloudy but hot (mid to low 20's C) and sticky today. So I had the air-con on super cold setting with air routed to all the vents. After about 5mins of driving the front windscreen started misting up, close to where the top dash vents blow onto the very bottom of the...
