    Driving points/ban 100+mph on motorway

    Has any one any experience of getting caught speeding over 100mph on the motorway? Likely penalty/ban for driving in access of 100mph on the motorway? I got pulled over by an unmarked X5 on the M6 speeding. Issued with a traffic offense report. :confused::doh:

    Hi again all. I am about to mount two extra driving lights (Hi beam) to my -05 S211 and I am wondering if there are a suitable place in the fusebox or elsewhere to tap the signal to trigger the relay? Or do I need to tap into the hi beam wire as we have always done? Seems a little old...

    Question on C63 MCT driving mode

    I was reading the manual for the car the other week and it mentioned that the driving mode should only be switched when stationary! Is there any truth to this? It would be ridiculous if this was true. I certainly didn't stop when changing the driving modes prior to reading this in the manual.

    Driving me mental

    The car has contracted two annoying rattles; the worst of the two is somewhere around the right hand side of the steering wheel, maybe around the door. I've searched everywhere I can whilst driving but to no avail. Everything seems totally solid. The other is at the rear on the passenger...

    AMG Driving Academy Training

    My dealer mentioned this might happen when I picked up the C63 last week, but he has just confirmed that anybody who has bought an AMG car since 1 March 2015 (and all new purchases) will be invited to attend a 2.5 hr AMG driving training session down at Brooklands. Not sure how that differs to...
