fast

On the first start of the day having been left overnight my W204 has taken to starting on a fast idle (~ 1,500rpm) which it holds for approx 12-15 secs before settling back to the usual ~ 850rpm. This seems to have coincided with the very cold snap we're having, but I don't remember it doing...

Hi All Well as promised please find below our efforts at the ring in a golf http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=uYorZ2cmEqA As you will see car is a Golf Mk 5 GTi 2.0 turbo 230 bhp running Hankook tyres and red stuff pads with standard discs. This lap is with my nephew in the driving seat and...

Ferrari has designed a car so complicated only a computer can drive it because the human brain is not fast enough. Very nice though. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/main.jhtml?xml=/motoring/2008/08/27/nferrari127.xml

I seem to have developed a problem with locking the car over the last few days. After pressing the fob and waiting say 60 seconds the indicators start flashing really fast and won't stop unless i unlock the car again. It's driving me insane! Any ideas?

Ive just read through these posts on M5 forum,very sad. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=111454

I've had auto wipers on other cars and they always switch to the second speed when it pours down. On my W210 they only do speed one, even my son's 306 goes to full speed. Is that right?

Dont know if this has been on this site before but i have just seen some merc speedo's showing silly speeds.:eek: :D :D http://500sec.com/speedopix.htm My favourite though..... Which merc do you think this speedo belongs to?;)

Well, five out of nine Jiffy Lubes visited charged for work not done, I'd love to see how the UK equivalents compare. On certain cars that might actually be a good thing ! I'd hate to let them lose on a German automatic transmission with their flushing machine...

Dear Experts: My 1990 300E 2.6 140k mile car, stalls when I step on gas fast. It runs fine when step on slowly. I suspected fuel filter, but it wasn't that. When I look at the air flow meter, while open up the throttle suddenly, it closes up immediately after it opens up. It also idles...

An interesting question posed on Jalopnik. Is it "more fun" to drive a slow car fast or to drive a fast car slowly? Think Fiat Panda 1100 down a quiet twisty B road :) or an SL 55 AMG in heavy traffic on the M25. :( Is it a tough call or obvious? :confused:

Found this over at the Ringers forum: We have just replaced the gearbox in an E63 Estate (within a morning) for a certain Mr J Clarkson (Orders from Milton Keynes). Seems there was talk of Manchester Airport and a number of other high powered estate cars the other night...

It seems any major car maker can now provide performance way beyond what anybody realistically needs in modern traffic and with speed limits all over the place. But it doesn’t stop manufacturers carrying on the absurd arms race. VW have unveiled a Golf faster than a Ferrari Maranello. The...

Is this driver clever or stupid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S7FUbkbaeQ&mode=related&search=

On an "enthusiastic" drive back from Cambridge today I noticed on bumpy, fast sweeping bends the rear of the car seemed to move, not a lack of grip (was there in abundance :cool:) more like the body shifting over the suspension, like a worn link or failing shocker. Also noticed on bumpy...

there were no speed limits on the motorway?

Here is the latest incarnation of the SL. 6.3 litre bi turbo, 730 bhp. Sadly restricted top speed. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/202250/mercedes_sl_on_the_charge.html But why would you then want to pay extra for this...
