planning

I got my C63 last weekend, and it's phenomenal! Really pleased with it. I moved to it from an Alfa 156 GTA which I'd owned for 10 years, and it's about the only choice I could find that had the practicality (both cars are estates) and sounded even better than that Alfa V6. Anyway, I've heard...

Going out? Staying in? Here at 110rry towers, we will be having lamb chops (just the one each), mashed potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower, Bisto and mint sauce. This will be at about 4pm as we have a late breakfast on the weekend and an early evening meal. That's it for me but the other half...

To cut a long story short, my small swimming pool's drain discharges into the motorway drainage ditch next to my fence line. It is only used to pump off excess water, so it does not discharge very often. It has been like that since the pool was installed in 1976. The ditch is inspected and...

I'm starting to plan a road trip to Scotland in mid June this year. The pretext being my friend Tom Cannavan's Glasgow Festival of Wine the weekend of the 11th June, but I'd like to combine it with a chance to drive my W114 coupe (or if still not ready something else) around the east coast of...

Hi all, I've stumbled across what looks to be a very friendly and helpful forum :). I'm currently driving a Nissan 350Z which I'm planning to put up for sale in the next few weeks to help fund a W211 E63. The Nissan forum I'm currently a member of has been really helpful over the past 6 years...

We applied to the Council for Planning Permission for an alteration to the front of the house, similar to what other properties in our street have done. The application was rejected because it is a conservation area and the Planners felt that the proposed alteration is not in the character of...

A query for the knowledge... I've been looking at building a conservatory, and am missing one bit of information... What classes a conservatory as a conservatory? I.E. I want to build a rectangular conservatory - but of the 4 walls: 1 is shared with the house over the conservatories...

I read that MB is planning to launch a rival to the X6, which will be based on the new ML. Few could see the point of the X6 and it looks gross (IMHO) - but it has sold. (I think BMW can sell anything to their aficionados!) I wonder if MB fans will go for it...!
