If so, I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. Do you have Indemnity and Libel insurance? Are you taxed on the cars you review? i.e. Are they classed as a "perk" like a company car?

A tip that I got from Verytalldave on here years ago. Like a fool and his money, a wiper and its rubber are soon parted, so if it's icy in the morning, check that your wipers are in the '0' position before turning the ignition key.

Hi I was killing time yesterday prior to a flight and took a few motoring related pic from in and around Brooklyn. Happy New Year

Firstly Happy Christmas and New Year to one and all. :thumb: So, my annual subscription for Car magazine expired last year and I didn't bother to renew it. I'm unsure why I didn't as I've been purchasing the magazine since 1981/82. Anyway, I purchased both December and January's editions for...

Oh, and cracked my Mercedes duck too! Picking up my new (to me) S500L W221 on Monday. Slightly scary with the mpg, car tax and sheer value on the road, but it had to be done, and with an 8 mile commute I'm persuading myself that a petrol engine is better for the environment too :bannana:

C43 AMG :D Picked up from a fellow member (who was really accomodating - THANKS ;)) last week after a quick trip by flight and then the 4.5 hour road trip to the ferry port at Cairnryan back to Belfast I am in awe of the car - no other words can describe my delight. It has exceeded every...

Having had my SLK for a few weeks I was curious to remind myself what journalists also thought of it. So I went back and read the various reviews online. It was funny to read so many opinions that I didn't recognise. Obviously the journalists drive so many cars that their point of reference is...

I was just reading about the E300 Hybrid and it mentions about the optional wheels making a difference to mpg. i was aware of this, but seeing it pointed out made me think more about it. So going up 1" in diameter makes 2mpg difference. It would be interesting to have some comparative...

Hi One of my best friends has been involved in a motoring accident and though I don't know all the details, I am a little worried and think he should consult a specialist motoring solicitor, as it sounds as though it could get messy. Can anyone recommend a good solicitor or firm that...

The Sunday Times has launched a new motoring website. Sunday Times Driving | Find premium used cars for sale in the UK

Just back from a terrific holiday in the US where the Car (and in particular the V8) is very much still the King. So what I have come back to? Petrol at £1.42 a litre ( or £6.43 a UK Gallon) as opposed to $1.39 (a smaller) US Gallon (about 3.78 litres) for Premium Gas. At an exchange rate of...

Hi All, Posted this in another thread and was suggested that I include it here too, by way of an introduction: A few weeks ago I visited my local MB dealership to explore the dog-compatibility of recent E class saloons (I’d rather not have an estate), and concluded that I’d need split/fold...

Does anyone on here specialise in motoring/criminal/personal injury legal issues and would be prepared to give some advice, if so I'd like to discuss an issue via PM. I already have a general understanding, but would like specialist advice.

To quote the late great Douglas Adams most stories that have passed into folklore are either apocryphal or at least wildly innacurate, but does anyone have any motoring anecdotes they have heard over the years? I'll start us with the story of the man who had just bought a brand new Rolls...

Sand and deliver My nephew had his car damaged by a Middle Eastern Gentleman driving a McClaren Mercedes. The incident happened on a Saturday afternoon outside Harrods in Knightsbridge. The MIG reversed into my nephew’s Audi, clipping the wing as my nephew drove past. My nephew stopped, and...

Howdo all, I go to this each year and have decided to take the trusty Merc and show it in the 'one make only' section - this is the section where anyone can show their cars (non-concours/non-club). It's the biggest one day classic car show event in the world and is well worth a look if you've...

Looking for a good motoring solicitor - if anyone has direct experience of one please post. Done the searches via usual channels including Law Soc, but looking for more concrete recommendation.
