daily

Let's see who drives what as their daily car :crazy: Reasons why and reasons why not :cool: I'll start: CLS55 AMG - I commute to and from North Germany every fortnight so love the freedom of power and speed without the worry of being blitzed or pulled over. Fuel is something that...

Hi guys. I'm just wondering how many of you use your 55k's either the CLS or E's as a daily driver? And if you have been doing so whether you have had any issues arise from this. I appreciate these cars are pretty bullet proof and one of the main expenses would be the fuel consumption. But...

Unfortunately today my Volvo died, going for an overtake and it lost power completely fortunately I just dropped back into the space I had come out of so not drama. So 3rd gear foot flat to the floor and I'm doing 15mph only 2 miles from home so limp back. Call Volvo assist 25 minutes later...

alright, I keep faffing about with engine swaps, body kits etc etc when I think I should just buy a proper one. But is a C36 dooable as a daily ? 15k miles a year ? Reliability and juice wise (current car CLK320 getting 28 mpg) anyone thinking of selling one around the 2.5k mark as well ...

I get now and then recommendations to convert the original engine management in M104 E320 to Megasquirt. The more I study the subject, the more I find people having difficulties in tuning in working specs for daily driving. Racing and high revs is different. Does anybody have a Megasquirt in...

Currently working away from home and have no choice but to park the CLS under a tree whilst I'm away where my accommodation is. Every day it is getting splattered with huge amounts of diseased pigeon poo - it is absolutely disgusting and in a variety of colours. So my normal routine is to...

Hi guys, Currently using a 190 2.0lt (carb) auto as my daily driver on a 30 mile round trip commute. Nice car which I enjoy driving and it generally returns 30mpg on easy B road drive. However I have always fancied a W123 and have been offered a 1978 W123 200 (carb) 4 speed manual with very...

'Evening all. Thinking of swapping the 5 series for an E class estate, seen a 280 Elegance (W211 petrol) at a reasonable price although the cost to change is more than I have available in my 'change the car' fund currently. Has anyone run a petrol one of these who can comment on...

I am having another series of thoughts about my car fleet and have noticed of late that I am using the W210 a lot for short distance driving. This is not greatly sensible to shift that mass around (and mine), and I thought about a little runaround (it would be available for a friend who is...

Hi all, This is my first daily Mercedes I've owned. I had a 420 SEC last year but only had it to restore and then sold it on. I picked this up 3 weeks ago, for £650. It seems to be a good enough car so far, with a good history, years mot and 6 months tax. The bodyworks clean, not really got any...

I will (hopefully) be starting a new job in a month or so and as much as I love the CLK ,it will be a little thirsty for a 90 mile round trip every day so i've been looking at C class (2000 MY on) as a potential daily driver/ commute car. For economy reasons obviuosly a 220d or 270d would be...

Mercedes-Benz S320 (W140) For Sale (1997) on Car And Classic UK When my E36 goes into the garage for the winter I'll be needing some wheels. Just watched Transporter and found myself thinking how good those black S Classes looked. Mind you, his 7 series BMW was nice too. Am I deluded...

214k Full MB SH all paperwork stamped etc.. Drives superb and silent until you give it the right foot Need to do rust spot on rear door and one front wing has rust on the lip The front lights xenon are not working either . Purchased from a family friend for £350 taxed n tested till...

Hi all I sold my W202 a couple of years ago when I was offered a company car, it is a car that I really enjoyed despite the losing battle with rust.... I am looking at changing jobs in the new year and will be buying my own car again, I don't want to spend more than 2-3k and so was thinking...

After getting rid of my Golf I'm looking for a new daily driver, budget of about £2500-£3000 max, it has to be diesel and economical, so far I'm really thinking about going for a Peugeot 407 HDI, they seem great value,alot of them are high spec plus their not small and still look modern, anyone...

Have look at this month's EVO. Chris Harris, who has run a string of intersting metal in Autocar/Driver's Republic/EVO reckons his outgoing E63 is the best daily driver he's ever had. Note in the last few years he's had Focus RS/Lambo/C55/RS4/E320 Sport/E55 IIRC/E220 and now E63. He's also...

I missed this the first time around but thought it was funny enough to include here.The original is here. The Daily Mash - WEBBER TO START NEXT RACE IN A '98 PUNTO WEBBER TO START NEXT RACE IN A '98 PUNTO FORMULA 1 car-pointer Mark Webber will start the next Grand Prix in a 1998...

Hi I've recently bought a W140 320 and would like to get a view from those who have more experience with the motors than me. The car so far has been very good, apart from a boot closure problem. Its reasonably low mileage (80k) with 1 previous owner. Its featured in the Merc Enthusiast...

Today it was only two people who cut me up either on or exiting roundabouts. It seems that I encounter at least one moron who is either unable to use their mirrors, or doesn't understand how to use a roundabout properly. Turning right but in the left hand lane? In the middle lane but...
