diary

I'm thinking a diary of sorts could be interesting to anyone considering buying one of these beauties, new or used, in future. What do you think? So I plan to: * Post items of interest * Answer any requests or questions I can The car 2017 S350d AMG Line Premium Plus (SWB) Lots of options...

Reminder of two dates for your diaries now that Spring is just around the corner :rolleyes: Motorsport at Crystal Palace - 26/27.5.2013 Bromley Pageant of Motoring - 9.6.2013

Well, a few days into a surprisingly mild Vladimir winter holiday! Should go down to minus 20 later, we'll see. Sad to see Russian driving standards haven't improved since the summer :D Ah well... Maybe it's nature's way of culling the driving population here! :D Seen quite a few...

Well, two weeks into the marathon 2 month vacation and the temperature is getting hotter!! Gasp! We're looking at 36C minimum this week! Just like last year, except the nights, thank God, are cooler. Took a look at some cars to possibly replace the ageing Nissan last week and have decided...

Well, been here a few days and am sweltering in over 30 degrees C, again! (same as last year, which in central Russia is not that common!) Still, rain has just come and it's getting a bit cooler.. :) As for cars, the most popular Mercedes so far this year, surprisingly, is the....... B...

LOL, found this very funny...:D A day from the diary of a BMW driver... "The other day I was cruising along as usual coming onto one of my motorways, which was very busy with inferior cars. First off, I couldn't believe that the volume of traffic DIDN'T slow down for me AT ALL as I came off...

I recently joined the forum as I've been sent to it by Google numerous times of late when searching for solutions to sort out issues with my new car. Just bought a 1990 W124 300TD which I'm very happy with. I've already sorted out a few issues, and have some more to take care of, but nothing...

Well, Russia is nothing if it's not extreme!! Yesterday we had 30+ C (as we have for over a month now and today..... 15C!!!!! From summer to winter over night!! Crazy! Still, the coolness is nice after the furnace for so long! Not so many interesting car sightings these last few days...

As you might be aware, there have been some awful forrest fires raging in Russia at the moment, as the temperatures reach all time records (great timing for our visit this year eh!!) But, it is beginning to get a little cooler now ("only" 30C today and with a slightly cooler night so sleep was...

Ok, it's a week now and I've only one thing to report......... IT'S HOT HOT HOT!!!!! In fact the hottest it's been in over 300 years apperently!!! Today I'm sweltering in 40C, in an area which is normally no more than a nice balmy 26 or so!!! They say it's set to go even higher, before...

I was going to post a few more words about my Russia trip, but just read the post about Nav's cars being stolen in Northwood and I'm so gutted to hear about that, I haven't anything to post now! Funnily enough, incidents like this, in this area was exactly the reason I didn't leave my S211 in...

Hi Guys! A day in Moscow on thursday brought my first ever sighting of a GLK! This car was in a BP Connect petrol station (yes, really!) about 2km from Ikea in Moscow and if you look at the photo you'll see the GLK at the pumps, with my trusty Nissan at the front by the window and the BP...

Hi All! Just a quick note from Russia! On sunday 19th we went to the Bavaria City Racing at Moscow to see McLaren, Williams and Red Bull scream around Red Square!! Drivers were Coulthard, Kovaleinen, Nakajima and Rosberg. Great fun and unbelievable atmosphere! We were right by the "track" and...
