ended

So, I was looking to move from a Jeep Wrangler soft top to something that didn't take the skin off my knuckles when taking the top off. I thought about a 330ci Vert and then started to think about a CLK Vert. The 3.5 litre engine and 7G tronic box issues put me off so I then moved my horizons...

Nothing major. Pulled up at a set of lights on duel carriageway yesterday in my van. Sat at a standstill with foot on brake for about 10 seconds then bang! I was shunted forward about two foot. Got out to check on driver and damage. Young girl driver very apologetic. Not a major amount of damage...

So there will be a few people who were involved in my long and painful pondering over the replacement for my old E55K, just thought I would let you know that I stayed with Merc and went for an W212 E63 Bi-Turbo with PPP.

Typical! Almost 2 years of ding free motoring, ready to hand back a pristine c63 and someone runs into me at a roundabout. I was fuming. The damage can hardly be seen, but I suspect the whole bumper has moved by a couple of mm, so there was no way I was letting go of that one without getting...

Hi everyone! This seems a nice place, so this is how I got here - the story begins last November. The wife's been driving the kids around in a Ford KA for 10 years - it was her choice, honest: said she liked it! Anyway, it was on its last legs and she was saying silly things like, "Aren't...

Disaster struck the day before good Friday, my pristine 6 month old CLS was hit from behind quite severely, but an old MG Rover 75. A hell of a bang, but no one injured, so could always be worse. The thoughts of having to declare an accident for the next 5 years, every time I now renew my...

As title. ..a vw polo driver rubber necking an accident that myself and my partner stopped to help as one car was on top of another...i was stopped on the hard shoulder of the A361. I was just about to exit my car when crash at 60mph i was hit on the o/s/r...the polo then ended in the third lane...

Unfortunately, I got rear ended earlier today in the W203 – looks like a bit of cosmetic damage which would mean a respray job on the rear bumper. Not sure if there is any damage behind the bumper until the vehicle goes to the body shop. The local Stealer was down the road so I quickly popped...

Well, a sad christmas day it was, I had just reversed carefully out of the folks driveway, and had just engaged drive, with the brakes still on when some doughnut drove straight out of a private drive, then over the pavement and straight into the back of my CLK on the road before I had the...

I was rear ended whilst siting in traffic this morning. It was one hell of a shunt which knocked the car forward about 3 ft while I had my foot on the brake. It felt like more like he mistook the gas for the brake rather than gently rolling into me. He was driving an X5 so not a lightweight...

My W203 keyfob is not working now..Accidentally stuck it in my wash as it was in the pocket..It also then ended up in the dryer for about 40mins still in the pants pocket.. Have replaced the 2 CR2025 Varta batteries..still not working..Tried swapping the batteries accross to the spare key to...

Last week got rear ended by an Audi A3 whilst waiting at some lights near Trafford Park. :devil: Damage isn't too bad as the towbar frame stopped the bumper from moving to much. Phoned the insurance brokers to report the incident and got passed onto the claims dept. they took all the...

This happened about 2 weeks ago, I was indicating to turn into a petrol station on my right and waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear when a woman in a Ka decided to get a bit too close to me.:mad: She saw me indicating and saw my brake lights on, but throught I was slowing down for a...

On the way home on Sunday, just before I had to head off to Paris I was stopped at traffic lights and a car drove into the back of mine. We were stopped in a queue with about 4 cars ahead of me with the lights at red. The lights changed to green but the cars didn't really go anywhere in...

this has got to be the weekend from hell! I took friday off so that i could take mrs B and her mum down to london to do some visiting and see the sights. On the way my mum in law wanted to go down to brum to visit the large templ on soho road. no problem i thought. it would only add 2 hours...

Only been back on the road three weeks since the LPG conversion and some idiot only slides into the back of me this morning in a Vauxhall Zafira whilst stationary, I was waiting for a guy in front of me to turn right!! Road surface was only a couple of weeks old and it was raining :mad: Older...

Well, heading up the road to get some tyres, I decided to overtake a slower moving Vauxhall, so, I depressed pedal and the car kicked down two gears (auto) well, I suddenly gathered much speed and thought, okay enough is enough, however someone decided they'd fit about 5 car mats to it and the...
