driving

Hi folks, So booked my skiing trip to the French Alps. Decided to take my C63 estate and now need to think about what to take for the car. I already decided against winter tyres as I live in London and normally drive short distances around town. Just can't justify spending that much for 2-3...

Hi everyone, Im on the hunt for an R129 SL600 and am looking at one this weekend which could be the one. It is a 3 owner (past owner for 10 years) very late example (1999) with 83k on the clock and full main dealer history. All the nice options which is good. The V12 is a must for me.....call...

Or to be more precise rubbish festive driving. Thanks to ancient, unwell plus ancient and very unwell family members spent a lot of time on motorways since Christmas Eve. Now the holiday drivers are a well known curse but convinced it is getting worse and it is not just me being miserable...

This week I drove my car on Monday, but not again until Thursday, then again yesterday, but not today. Now I'm looking forward to tomorrow, where I'll be turning the key again :thumb:. On the "down" days I find myself looking forward to the next opportunity to drive. Is this what separates...

Just thought i'd post up how impressed i was with Mercedes Derby and their AMG driving event on the 14th & 15th Nov. It was a really good way to talk to fellow AMG owners and to drive some great cars with no sales pitches in sight! My dad and i got to test drive the new S Coupe 63 along with...

BBC News - Queue-jump driver 'endangered children' in Luton What is wrong with people?

Has anyone been? F1 Racing Simulator | Driving Experience | Centre Anyone up for having an MBclub day there?

They're back! @ 24 secs Nice noise too. QCnIs_dKTD4

How good/bad are Mercedes in the winter? Particularly icy/snowy conditions? The reason I ask is BWM don't exactly have a great reputation when it comes to driving in the winter. Neither does any RWD car for that matter but how do Mercedes compare? I just don't want to get caught out in mine this...

Another thread's just reminded me of one of my motoring pet peeves so I thought it might be good to start a thread to let of a bit of steam about yours too... Mine are (and in no particular order): Misuse of fog lights e.g. turning them on when it rains. Everyone sitting in the right...

Hi, Quick question hope someone can reassure me! Driving to Europe with my British e350 d6 2013 (facelift). Remember the dealer telling me i had to do nothing with the headlights in Europe.... Is this correct or should i be doing something about it like stickers or a setting somewhere...

As title states... Which is best around town? I don't thrash the car by the way! C mode seems a bit sluggish to me at times but is it saving me any pennies?!

Going round in circles with this problem. When I try to drive off in my 2007 r class the ABS activates at or below 5mph without pressing the brake pedal. It's the front passenger wheel that is stopping. Can't drive the car as it brings it to a stop. The ABS and ESP lights are on. Had a mechanic...

How important, or how useful is it, to have a left hand drive car in, say, France? I spend 50% of my time driving on the right hand side of the road, and its only an issue because I have a UK SL350 that has the ability to overtake slower traffic. The problem is obvious, I have to pull out...

08.30 this morning my friend and neighbour was startled by the sounds of a crash from the rear of their house. The rear faces a T junction at the bottom of a steep hill. This is what they found in their garden. These marks on the road go for 35mtrs back to the kerb on...

Hello everyone, This is my first post, first time merc owner after many audis and VWs. I bought this old C-class coupe last week and only just noticed that it came with a really annoying/worrying rattle coming from the gearbox area/centre console. Best way to describe it would be to...

Apart from the obvious danger areas, for example, school zones, narrow side streets and the like. I did the first IAM observed drive today - two hours long, and for those two hours I held up the traffic constantly, as my observer "forced" me to observe the 30mph limit along a selection of A...

I'm visiting Stuttgart in a few week time, and besides planning to spend a day at the Mercedes-Benz Museum, was wondering if there's a track driving experience, similar to Las Vegas or Mercedes-Benz World there? PS Not sure it's the right sub-forum, so if not, my apologies
