    C63 AMG Daily Driver ?

    Hi everyone How is the C63 as a daily driver? Is it an 'everyday' car? I've had a 997S which I perceived to be a weekend car but thinking of the C63 as daily? Fuel consumption will be the main issue for me. Not the cost, just the annoyance of frequent fill-ups when I could buy a nice...

    Daily Telegraph...best time to buy a convertible

    It`s official, the main story in yesterdays Daily Telegraph motoring section agrees with me, it is now the best time to acquire a convertible is now to obtain a real bargain, and the CLK is one of the top three to buy.

    Daily Telegraph

    There is an interesting story in today's Daily Telegraph, Sunday the 19th October, about the authors experience at a Citroen dealership. The comments on the story are well worth a read!

    Oldest Daily Driver.

    No, not a sprightly chap well into his nineties who continues to roar up and down to the local Darby and Joan every day in a Hillman Avenger. In this instance I mean a car; not necessarily a car that’s driven every day, just your most frequently driven car. I suppose it’d have to be...

    Daily Drive-20mpg AMG or 50mpg Diesel?

    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...

    55 K as a daily driver?

    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...

    The reason my daily driver is a Volvo and not MB

    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...

    Should I buy a C36 as a daily - Discuss :)

    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 ...

    Standalone ECU for a daily driver?

    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...

    Aaaaargh - daily attack from diseased pests

    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...

    W123 as daily driver?

    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...

    Coming back to Mb daily driver?

    '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...

    Little daily driver with super fuel efficiency

    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...

    My Daily Runner

    Hi all, Just thought some may be interested to see my daily toy. Slightly old image as I have now changed the grill for a chrome one as it should be. 2001 3 Litre SE X-Type with most toys of the time (no heated seats or screen though, sadly). 222,000 miles and still going strong...

    My new daily C124

    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...

    New daily driver BMW 760i

    My short lived affair with a really nice CL500 had to end when it bit Mrs DSLiverpools ankles as she once again had to clamber in the back - the auto seat back went back too far. Within my £20k limit many things are available but I like value and something a little special - here is Darth (as I...

    C class as a daily hack

    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...
