I've got to say Harry Hill is great on this programme. His comments on the clips are hilarious. His always seems to match the people to celebrities that we know. Fantastic family fun. Remember how lame the programme was in the hands of Jeremy beadle, Steve Penk & Lisa Riley? Ant...

Was driving up a twisty steep hill with about an eight a tank of diesel when suddenly felt a few small hesitations at 2k rpm in 3rd/4th gear. Thought it was just my imagination, changed down to second and took it through the rev range pulling fine. Then after the next sharp left bend (still...

Hi folks! I have a 2007 C180K SE W203 automatic and a question. Twice now, about a week apart, my car has briefly lost power or maybe drive in the exact same place on my way into work. It results in a sort of 'kangaroo' effect like that of a learner with clutch issues! It was more extreme the...

Some shots from recent charity day at Prescott Hill Speed Climb in Gloucestershire.. Click on menu item - "Prescott Hill Charity Day"

It would appear the nearside rear wheel had decided to make a bid for freedom, leaving it to continue for a good few yards on the brake disc (and quite possibly the lower body :doh:) Not a pretty sight.

Just wondering if anyone's intending to go along to the Kop Hill Climb which this year is on 22nd / 23rd September? I went in 2010, but missed it last year so thought it worth another visit. There are some great pic's both in and linked from this thread, taken last year by Nick Froome and...

Could someone help with this one, please. I have a one year old E350 Sport Saloon. In general, the auto gearbox behaves itself, except on one stretch of road that I travel along about once a week. This road has a downhill gradient with a 40 mph speed limit for about a quarter of a mile, followed...
