    W204 joins the family

    My wife now has a 2007 C320 CDI ! with lots of goodies, sport model sits nicely with the SL 320 (R129) and my E 320 CDI (W211) Not sure if this was a wise decision but at least no one minds which car they take !

    At the moment i own two cars a honda jazz and a w211 E320. I use the jazz for commuting and for taking stuff to the tip etc, I use the merc for family outings and everything else. My wife walks to work so we really don't need two cars, I'm thinking of selling the jazz but I'm worried if I do and...

    New family wagon ordered

    Following on from my previous thread on suggestions for Mrs Blondes new family wagon to replace her current ML. Well after short listing them down to disco 4, RRS, ML and cayenne (not her choice but mine, seeing as I am paying I thought I should get some say) I went round to look at them all...

    new family wagon required - opinions please

    Mrs Blonde has decided she would like a new car to replace her ML. Seeing as I change mine on a regular basis ad she has had her current ml for 5 years (I thought it had only been 3 or 4!) i cant really say no, well I could but the garage isn't that comfy to live in. All she has said is...

    Family member looking at A Class autos - which year is safe?

    Hi all, Family member is looking at recent but previous stylie A-Class as a runabout, thinking along the lines of around 2009-2010 onwards. I recall on the original A-class, any auto transmission woes were a major headache and in most cases rendered the car beyond economic repair as you...

    CLS passed family holiday test with flying colours (2,300 miles in 2 weeks)

    The test of the practicality of the CLS as a family car was always going to be put to the test in our annual summer hols trip into Europe. With roofbox on (necessary evil) we cruised across to France, then Italy and back. It racked up 2,300 miles in 2 weeks and it didn't miss a beat. It happily...

    1991 W124 300D Turbo Diesel - Modernising for family used over the next 10 years.

    Thought I’d post some pics & share the story of our 300D and it's progress here in Japan. It's a completely rust free 165,000km (103,000 mile) example I bought for a measley sum, but then spent more on it for parts, taxes, registration, etc. than the base cost. It replaces my wife's Lexus IS300...

    Nine family cars (of the 1990s) crash test - includes W124

    Interesting video showing comparative crash tests for nine family cars of the 1990s. The German cars show up well but some of the others, like the Honda Legend, are truly scary LQH6MLTSDZ4 Nick Froome

    NSFW:Toyota Pious owner berates family for leaving engine running

    A young family are in a car park, and a rather large Pious owner starts mouthing off at them for leaving the engine running. Like the comment above the video says, "Apparently she has no problem with the 18 wheelers that deliver her buckets of ice cream and bacon flavored butter to the...

    2005 SLK now in the family - a couple of questions!

    Hi everyone, my Mum bought a 2005 SLK350 auto in Osbidian Black a few days ago - after years of owning Jags, she finally wanted something different, and I think she’s taken a liking to our E320 saloon in the same colour (even though she said she didn’t like it when we first bought it!) I took...
