experience

Thought I would share this one with you, time for daughter to move out of the apartment she has been using for Uni, so in the best tradition I hire a LWB transit as my battle wagon for the A1,M18, M1, challenge, my fine chariot is fuelled up and ready to go, so I decide to go for the perfect...

I experienced something new today - being driven round by Master E after passing his driving test this morning :thumb: He's got himself a little Fiat - which is quite funny when he's 6'2" - but it's a car we've known for a long time (bought from a girl Mrs E worked wit, who had bought it from...

As the title suggest my MB ownership has been far from perfect during the last months . Its a W204 C250 CDI Auto (67k, 2010, FSH, Amg on 18"). This is the most money I have ever spent on a car and to be frank I am not blown away, its has not given me the additional refinement which is...

Hi, my 2003 W211 E320cdi (3.2 il6) is running with a tap/knocking noise after my water pump give up and the engine over heated. My mechanic has said the car can still run with the knock, or I will need to change the bottom end. I have lived with it for about 20k miles and now its getting...

During my stay in Abu Dhabi I went to the Yas Marina circuit where I was able to do the passenger experience in the SL63 AMG F1 Safety Car. There are also a lot of other experiences at the Yas Marina circuit. You can drive yourself of be driven. Unfortunately for the tall people like me you...

so Top Gear Performance was the chosen fitter, and what a great bunch of guys they are - Simon was my first contact, then Eldin both were superb as were their staff. Attention to detail and knowledge = 10/10 quality of fit = 10/10 improvement to sound = 3/10 (but this is probably down to me...

was driving home from work about half hour ago and all was fine, running fine no problems at all. getting towards home and decided to put my foot down because i seen a set of lights turn green and didnt want to get stuck at them. got into the drive and the car started making a knocking sound...

A few months ago I went on the AMG Experience at Mercedes-Benz World in Brooklands and drove an E63 AMG. I loved it and decided to start a blog about my experiences of these 'supercar experiences'. Anyway, if you're thinking about going on the AMG Experience, you might want to take a minute...

So I decided to do the factory pickup as i had heard good things about it. MB travel were good with the arrangements, booked everything for me, flight and first nights hotel in a Hilton. Here is the pack i got through before the trip. The trip went really well, driver was there to meet us...

Firstly just a note to say a huge thanks to Jardine Motors and all the guys at Lakeside, Chelmsford and Southend MB dealers for putting on today what can only be described as a dream day driving some of the most luxurious and amazing cars on the planet..magical!!!! Today I took up the invite...

I was a bit bored yesterday so I thought I would take a little drive to Brooklands and have a look around - especially on the top floor(AMG's). Was sort of hoping they might have the CLS shooting brake there as well. Checked the website for their opening times and off I went. Imagine my dismay...

I got walloped from behind by a council dustbin wagon going 50mph, if I didnt have a merc, would I still be here, I had that near death feeling, and it a most horrible thing ever, just a few minor injuries, im very lucky sam

I've always liked the look of the W212 since it was first launched three year ago, so it was with some excitement that I received this E350 V6 (265) Cdi Avantgarde. Having now covered a thousand miles, I feel slightly qualified to give a decent view on living with this car day-today. I'll...

Picked up SWMBO from Royal College of Westminster on Sunday in the early evening. Right outside the entrance are zig zags and further on a pedestrian crossing. I know what zig zags mean but thought 30 seconds or less ought to be chanceable. How wrong I was. Today I have just paid £65 for the...

Does anyone have any experience with retrofitted wireless parking sensors? Seem very easy to fit and convenient, but would like to know if anyone has any negative experience with RF signal loss, interference, over-sensitivity, etc. Mel.

Well I thought I'd give the 1 hour amg experience at Brooklands a go rather than trying to make a fool of myself on a local industrial estate. ;) Booked in for 1st May as they are doing an off peak deal for £135, should be fun!!!

As a long time reader, I did not feel I had a huge amount to contribute but I felt I wouild put text to virtual paper to pass comment on my recent dealership experience. I had my CLS serviced and repaired at Hughes in Aylesbury and could not have asked for a better service. The car had several...

Has anyone had long-term experience of the Blackberry Playbook? With the new OS just out offering proper e-mail and a £169 price tag, it is looking a suitable buy for my purposes. We (well my wife has done some commandeering) already have an iPad 1 but I would prefer something that is cheaper...

Had an hours AMG driving experience as a Christmas present, so went to M.B. World yesterday to take it. I was allocated an E 55 AMG Bi-Turbo for the session and that car quite blew my mind. It took about a dozen spins on the skid pan before I managed to do a complete lap sideways. Then on to...

I thought that I would share with you my experience with the police today. This morning I woke up to find the rear number plate missing off my Passat. One of those things I thought, and I just couldn't be bothered to be upset. So I thought before someone starts filling fuel and driving off...
