goodbye

After ten years running an E-Class 320 CDI, it is finally time for a change; the new car is an Audi and it arrives tomorrow. Over the last couple of months I have entertained myself during long journeys by contemplating the things I am going to miss when I switch marques and, as the subject...

a Volvo V60 2.4l SE Lux. Fully loaded on 61 plate. Tried the new A Class AMG, hated it, and a couple of C Class variants but couldn't get excited. Having a 9 inch tablet stuck up out of the dash does nothing for modern Mercs. Volvo has all the toys including active chassis and the twin...

Don't ask me why but I decided to see if I could sell my C63 today, so I posted it on PistonHeads. I only intended to test the water. Used 2008 Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 AMG for sale in South Yorkshire | Pistonheads Chuff me within 5 mins I got my first phone call from a dealer who made an...

well decided to dabble in the world of fancy polish and waxes and bought a small sample jar of do do juice wax.. had a little read up about it and though what the heck lets give this snake oil a go..!! well after polishing the car with my Auto glym resin polish i carefully applied the do do...

It's been great fun but it's just one of those things... Around 3 years ago I sold my Sprinter and 210 320CDI estate and opted for a Vito 120 Sport. The Sprinter was a good load-lugger - The 210 was also capable of carrying a certain amount of equipment, but its important attributes were that...

Hello MB family. I have now sold my C124 to someone who will be restoring here back to its former glory. I have now returned to VW and would like to thank everyone who has helped me for the last 3 years in any queries I have raised. Thank you and god bless you all!!

Someone once described an occasion as 'watching their dreaded mother-in-law driving their new car over a cliff'. The only emotion after 7 years of SL ownership was one of relief. It had all the usual problems and some unusual ones. The final straw was an interior door handle breaking off in my...

After owning at w203 c220 cdi for 18 days I have decided to get my money back from the second hand car dealer. In that time they had it back 4 times an yet they could not fix it.... I'm a patient person but I reached the end of the line last night. I now have my lifeless fiesta back... But at...

My company car, leased MY10 Astra estate1.7tdi ecoflex life aircon, has departed, and been replaced with an Octavia estate 1.6tdi SE. Oh no I'm a Skoda driver :wallbash: But wait, the seat is comfy and better shaped than the old car, the air con is powerful, 4 leccy windows instead of just 2...

So, on my way to work on Friday morning, some muppet in a Rover 75 pulled out in front of me on a roundabout without looking and the inevitable happened. I've a funny feeling that was the last time l drove my W124:(. After almost 5 years of ownership, not once did she let me down or leave me by...

I have very some very sad news. My Mercedes is going. After years of blissful ownership of my R129 SL it has come time to part with it. Though not my first R129 and i hope not my last these SL's are becoming harder to find in tiptop condition. You must all be wondering, why would a daft...

For anyone in the northwest who still remembers channel 3 as Granada, it's well worth a watch tonight on itv at 8.30. I have spent the last 7 years in this fantastic building with all it's history and heritage. Really sad to see it the way it is now. I have work on some memorable shows ( live...

Well, said a final good-bye to my CLS a few minutes ago. Now I'm counting the time towards the new SLK! :) To be honest I am feeling a bit sad as the CLS is such a beautiful car, but the fun of an SLK beckons for a couple of years! :)

I'm just about to collect my first (and probably last - I won't need such a big car when I retire soon) Benz, a 1998 E55 AMG estate. It has 106K miles on it (supported by the DVLA MoT record), and (apparently - I haven't actually seen the paperwork yet) a full main dealer service history...

Wife too upset to post (her car) so down to me. We have had the 190 for 5 years, and has served us well, apart from a frontspring, waterpump and tyres its been cheap to maintain and has always gone through MOT without an issue. Just had MOT in jan, all required was 2 tyres. Car has had...

Pretty much as the title suggest, the Mercedes was collected today and replaced with an A5 Sportback Quattro. Once I have had a chance to drive it more this weekend I will let you know my thoughts. It didn't come with an iPod cable even though I selected the full MMI system meant I had to...

Well after much debating. I'm sad to see the departure of the old 2007 W204 C320 CDI. In an ideal world I would have replaced it with a pre-facelift 2010 ish C350 CDI. But there is nothing out there with the spec that I have now. Lots of 2010 VFM cars circa £18-20k but again all with no options...

Well, sold my C55 last night..sad to watch it being driven away:(. Very happy though with the no fuss transaction and its going to a enthusiast and a good home! lol! Best car i have ever had... On the good news side, my new C63 is coming a month early so when i get back from offshore it will be...
