mrs

Afternoon, My Mrs has a 2 year old Toyota Aygo - it's a great car but she's paying well over the odds for it (it's leased through the NHS) so she's now looking for a new (used) car. Whilst the Aygo has been great, she wants something slightly bigger. I've shown her several makes and models...

Picked up the wife's 2009 slk to replace her much loved 2003 slk earlier today,behaved well for the 95 mile trip home!

The boss is not usually too car fussed, safe, reliable etc but has now expressed interest in a Lexus RX, does anyone have experience of one of these? Looking at a RX300 54 or 55 reg with a budget of up to £8k. Is the RX350 a better bet or do we stretch a bit further and consider a RX400 hybrid...

Hi, sorry if this should have been in The bodywork section but the app on my phone won't let me post it there! Just wondering if anyone has used Brydens Garage in Leeds for body repairs and if so what you thought of them? Unfortunately the Mrs pranged the ML tonight and the insurance company...

Leaving the M6 yesterday evening a lady in a Hyundai i10 pulled straight out in front of me on the roundabout. There was nothing on my nearside so I just lifted off the throttle and straightened the steering and then pulled back in line behind her with plenty of room to spare. No harm done, no...

So I have bought front end suspension parts-upper and lower control arms (or thrust arms/wishbones) tie rod ends and drop links. What is the rear suspension made up of, if I wanted to buy the same for the rear? Thanks

Anyone know of a decent bodyshop in Solihull or Birmingham please? Mrs P caught the rear offside wheel arch , bumper and side step on our wall this morning! Four feet to spare on the left!! I'll take it to our local Toyota garage for a quote this morning. Anyone want to hazard a guess...

This is a big debate in my family. My bro in laws say no way as it's asking for trouble?!? Yet my brother happily let's his mrs drive his SLK 55. Whats the views?

Mrs had to go to Standtead Airport to pick up her friend today. I had to do with her Ferrari (aka Fiat 500). Feedback; "the steering is so stiff, my back is sore because I felt every hump, we could not hear each other on the motorway because its so loud, it tramlines, people kept starring at and...

Mrs D got the wrong end of the stick when I said some members of MBClub refer to 63 AMGs as "hire cars". She thinks this must be the highest of all the AMGs!! ;) So for now at least we have two silver AMGs, and two silver MLs. :thumb: We were super close to pulling the trigger on a...

As much as I would love her to have a Merc like me, it isn't going to happen. She currently has a cream 2009 mini but it's 3 years old and I get the impression she is a little bored of it. I know this isn't a volvo forum but she has been looking at the 2.0L Diesel C30 R Design or the 1.6...

Mrs Tigris got a brand new 2012 Citroen. Having said that, the car was never cleaned (she is not a motor fanatic like the rest of us here) and therefore I decided to dedicate my free time this Sunday to give it a good clean. Took me a good 3 hours for just the interior.... Here are the...

Hello all, Here's one for all the armchair lawyers on here. Among the many buzzes at our gates today, one was from a representative of Nottinghamshire Police, who had come to discuss a recent traffic violation with my wife. She was spotted in the course of a minor indiscretion, and has...

Some may know that we have had a little A class for some time now, I thought just over 3 years. Turns out we actually owned it 4 years and 4 months. Its been a great car and I know its sad but a little emotional to see it go. It collected our first born from the Hospital and has been such a...

Peter, just wondered how the missus is doing. Also, how is the written off loan car being delt with by the dealer? Have you had to pay any excesses ? This is a situation we could all find ourselves in one day and it would be useful to know what the process is. I have 150k's worth of Bentley...

Hi All As many of you know we have been toying the the possibilty of changing Mrs F's car currently a Ford Racing Puma. However after consideration and due to the fact these cars were a limited edition run of only 500 and not all have survived. We have now decided to keep it and spend on it to...
