I was at the Stamford Car Show on Bank Holiday Sunday. Some lovely machinery on display, but nothing compared to what I discovered on a shared driveway, down a small side road, while I was wandering around the town....
Not only is this a rare-as-hen's-teeth G55 AMG, but it's the fact...
I just bought a P reg E230 Estate as a run around.
It needs new shock absorbers all round.
Best prices from searching the net I have got so far are:
1. Front £60 plus VAT each (MB Price: £98 incl VAT).
2. Rear (because they are self levelling): £160 plus VAT each (MB Price: £330 incl...
I live in a nice enough street, but along way from what you'd call millionaires row (Bexley is the cheapest london borough-by a long way as well!) but for some reason the world and his brother is buying expensive cars in our street!. The guy whos lives opposite me bought a convertible 6 series...
Just having a B service done on the beast at Indy's. B service is £422 which I don't think is too bad? Anyhooo, they have said that the anti-freeze needs replacing - £122 - why so expensive? What do they need to do? :confused:

Ah, we can all dream.......
Just had a quote for an A Service on my C320 - £650.00 from my local MB dealer including a change of spark plugs @ their suggestion.
Dealer - A Service with a set of Spark Plugs sir - £650.00
Me - Hhmm seems a tad expensive
Dealer - It's the spark plugs sir, they're showing @ £300.00

Does anyone know if assets such as cars and boats etc are still exempt from the ridiculously low (IMO) inheritance tax?
I know that precious metals and stones like gold and diamonds are taxable, and I for one would be the first to inform the inland revenue of every such item in my possession...
I've just been looking at MB's on ebay - just looking, bit too scared to buy one from there. I was struck by how expensive they seemed compared to those on Auto Trader. I know that a Buy It Now price may be optomistic, and the auction could end a lot lower, but some of them seemed to be £2k more...
I've felt the time was right to upgrade my system. I'm having to pace myself to keep to myself in budget
So far I've bought:
an Intel E6600 Core2duo, this was a bargain! I spotted someone at a computer fair selling these new and boxed for £120.00! You'd pay at least £130 to order these...
Bought an SLK in December without Command. Having driven SLK's with it, I really did feel I was missing out! After getting a decent bonus at work, I took the plunge this month and got Command retro-fitted. At the risk of being told I've been stitched, I thought I'd share the process in case...

Hot diggedy :eek:
Actually , I think it may be a member on here :rolleyes:
Hi all I just wondered if anyone has experienced anything like this with the 320 petrol or with any other W220 S?
I am getting a very loud continuous noise just after start-up which continues for varying lengths of time. It sounds like a motor of some sort and also sometimes continues after I...
