madness

Just been giving the CLS a bit of a clean. I wanted to clear all the mud and grit from under the arches as we all know these 2 ingredients can have a bad effect on MBs. However there appears to be some sort of fabric matting, perhaps sound deadening material under the rear arches, making it...

I know many of you will understand this!! I was the proud owner of a C Class W204 silver, leather, 2.0L petrol auto for several years. I then had my moment and traded for a pretty cool Audi A3 59 plate, from the moment I took delivery I really started to miss the quality, the drive, the...

"WHEN it was announced the Olympic Torch would pass through Oxford, it was hoped the city would see a huge boost in business. But traders hoping to make the most of a costly pitch at the official South Park event have accused organisers of squeezing the life out of it. According to stringent...

My son is getting married soon, and I've drawn the short straw for organising photographs. Handy as I am with an instamatic, I thought it might be wiser to get a professional photographer to do the job. So, a quick search on the web, and job done. Or so I thought! Seems to be huge variations in...

Did anyone see this doc.on BBC1 tonight? Bizarre. http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00tf1r4/Madness_in_the_Fast_Lane/

An 85 year old man in Bavaria obeyed his satnav instruction to 'Make a U-turn'. Unfortunately for him and the proud owner of a 1953 Rolls Royce, he was on a motorway slip road at the time. Still, at least one other person will be thinking "Every cloud has a silver lining". The written off...

Imagine the scene, you have just driven onto a slip road, and you are confronted by some of the slowest drivers in history, attempting to access the motorway at 40 mph, causing Trucks, Coaches, Vans and Cars, to either slow down or change lanes, knock-on effect of which is, If you are behind...

Apologies for those who never go near West London. Hammersmith Bridge used to have a width restriction in the form of raised kerbs. The idea was to prevent heavy vehicles using the bridge (although fully laden buses are naturally allowed and have their own lane with barrier, etc.). The...

Just came across this pic on the Breeze Systems website Breeze Systems - Digital Camera Workflow Software: Browser, Downloader, Canon Remote Capture The description as follows:- Breeze Systems' DSLR Remote Pro Multi-Camera controlling 120 Canon EOS 30D cameras using 5 laptops for a car...

The wife is understandably sick of driving the Zafira (cant blame her after 5 years) and as she only has my daughter to take to school now, she says she fancies a little 'stylish' runabout. She has even professed to liking the SLK. So saw this SLK on ebay today, its in Kent, appears straight,FSH...

On sunday morning i drove into my local town with my girlfriend to do some christmas shopping. As the 'new' big multi-story car park is always full and would be chokka on a sunday this close to xmas, i decided to park in the old multi-story, which is one of those old, cramped ones, just outside...

The photo says it all.................

Is it just me that thinks adding chemicals to water supply just because some children get bad teeth through bad education/parenting is completely offensive ? If you look at toothpaste, children and babies pastes have a lot less flouride - why, because they swallow it - implication that there...

Whilst waiting for my toastie to cook today in Lickety Split I happened to read in the paper that there is now a movement which is discouraging schools from referring to 'Mum and Dad' as this might offend some people who are from a homosexual or lesbian parented family. Whatever next. Just...

My wife went out for 10 mins on Thursday and when she came back there were two Parcel Force cards on the doormat. Normally we have to pick items up from a local sorting office (?), which is fine. But these had gone to the main Post Office in Bracknell. Why was this an issue? Because that Post...

What do you do when you buy a new car? Drive it around alot? Not me, my sad CPD (compulsive Polishing Disorder) illness kicked in :crazy: I have been dying to put a few pictures on the forum of our new SLK. We picked it up on Monday and drove it back to the midlands. Here is a diary of...

Having just read Motard's experiences on the M5, I experienced something different in the Pennines on Saturday. The A686 between Melmerby and Hartside Height is a steady climb with lots of very sharp bends. It seems to have become a bikers Mecca as an unofficial time trial. I was coming...
