Was going to chester this morning, round about 1030 when I saw about 10 police bikes and 5 or 6 police cars escorting a prison sweat box eastbound towards Warrington. Must have been someone pretty dangerous considering all the police escorting it.

I was rear ended whilst siting in traffic this morning. It was one hell of a shunt which knocked the car forward about 3 ft while I had my foot on the brake. It felt like more like he mistook the gas for the brake rather than gently rolling into me. He was driving an X5 so not a lightweight...

Off to WIM tomorrow morning as a follow-up from the alignment work a few months ago. My circumstances were a little out of the ordinary (I'll bet they say otherwise!). The alignment errors in the car when I bought it caused the inside edge of the n/s/f tyre to feather slightly, but as it was...

All I can say is :D No idea how any of the gizmos work but the engine definitely does!!! Pics will follow...

The luxury car marketing men will have you believe that you are normally sweeping swiftly along a smooth, deserted, challenging, picturesque highway. In reality we struggle so find any space on horribly potholed roads in a land where we pay five and half quid for a gallon of fuel. My previous...

Hi, I need just the mirror as someone kindly cracked mine. Need it delievered by Friday morning if possible, any ideas? or have you got one? Thanks, Ross

Anyone on here? Very Tiddy W123 (I think) :o.

Any ideas what that's likely to mean? As far as I can see its not covered in the manual.

I bought a complete leather interior (with seat heat) from the lock-up of a very nice gentleman :D Oh and it came with the seat heat loom and upper control block :bannana: Just got to get round to installing it now....

Hi guys. Another quick one please. Lately my vito 108 cdi (02) is very slow turning over first thing. After 10 secs or so of struggling it kicks in and is fine all day after. Just been serviced recently as well. Does it sound like the battery or could it be something else? Cheers.

Was a bit shocked I noticed the outside temp guage drop from -6 to -9 as I approched J17 (@ 7:40am) - caused me to drop my speed by 5mph and start thinking about how well distributed the salt was! Anyone southerners got double figures yet?

A very nice 280SE 3.5 on the A737 approaching Glasgow Airport , he continued Eastbound along the M8 over the White Cart viaduct and took the Paisley/Renfrew exit . I just managed to snap him with my phone camera as its position in the cradle afforded this view , cropped from the top right...

38mph in a 30mph resulted in me being offered the chance to trade points for a 4 hour speed awareness course. (Thames Valley). Overall I thought the morning to be positve, considering that none of the 24 delegates wanted to be there............. Here are a few things that were a surprise...

An Enfield Electric car from the early 70's still pottering along.

Hello all. I have just collected my 2007 SLK 55 AMG on Monday 6k on the clock, and paid late £30ks for it. Apologies about dirt, but had a very long drive back to London and valet guy not coming around till the weekend. oh well.. looks like the Work horse now hehe This really is an Excellent...

Went out to the Merc this morning and lent in and switched the ignition on, waited about 10secs and started her up. She came to life and after about 10secs she stalled. then it took several goes to get her started again, but once started she was fine abeit was only ticking over at normal revs -...

First job was to remove and replace the radiator which after 18 years was past its best and had been weeping for a while (2 years :) ) from various pin sized holes. Less than an hour to drain off all the coolant, flush the sytem through with plain water a few times and then swap rads before...
