Hi Guys, Take a look at this vid of us taking part in the Valencia 2009 Ramshackle Rally in a heavily decorated Merc 230E. We found it rusting and rotting behind a garage, hadn't been started for 3 years. We managed to get her running and then did 1500 miles across Europe. The decorating job...

Bit of a distress call here! I've come into possession (legally and in line with the DVLA's rules) of an abandoned 1980V 450 SLC. It was left in the underground car park beneath my flat for about two years and is covered in dust. It was left open and was full of various receipts etc showing...

Guys, What is the speed ratio on a S280 diff and is it different to a S600 limited slip diff? Check out the pics, The car shown is actually a S280 which we propose to drive to S Korea for charity. I re-built the old girl to cope with the roads in Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia. Gonna post a...

Just testing the water, does anybody fancy taking part in either a 'treasure hunt' or a 'scatter rally' around East Sussex in the spring? ie once the weather gets a bit warmer If there's less than 13 cars ( a very poor turnout) it can be run as a treasure hunt with a set route. If there's...

Looks like a Evo II! Kind of fulfilled what Merc had for the 190E 2.5 in the first place!

Came across this EXCELLENT set of colour pictures of the SLC in rallye action on the Mercedes-Benz Clubs Australia & Pacific website. :rock: Scroll down towards the end of thread to see them. You dont need to be a member to see them despite what it says...

Anyone going? I know a few of us are fairly close... I'm trying to find a contact to enter my car, having a spot of bother this year though....but should be a good day all the same!:) ETA: (managed to spell the title wrong, oh dear!)

Not a Merc but still quite something special and rare. It must shift with all that power: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RS200-RS-200-FORD-GROUP-B-SUPERCAR-WRC_W0QQitemZ330247579448QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item330247579448&_trkparms=39%3A1%7C65%3A3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Eco-friendly motor rally planned Chip fat and cooking oil will fuel an environmentally friendly "Grease to Greece" motor rally later this summer. The 30 diesel-engined vehicles - hopefully including an old burger van - will set off from a "greasy spoon" cafe in London and head for Greece...

Hello.. just a heads up on an event down here in the South West... Its on Sunday 3rd August at Mount Edgecombe Country House.. very close to Plymouth. Lots of vintage and classic cars along with American cars etc... I enetered a few years with a mk1 golf gti cabriolet as it saves on paying the...

Hi Just home from the WRC Rally Ireland. Went this morning for the Donegal Bay stage. Great fun good to see Loeb in action even if he was cruising. Pity Gronholm crashed out. Great to have the WRC come to Ireland. No pics just video (non digital) soz, but this might set the scene. Gronholm...

What car would you take and why?

Our Peugeot Rally car runs "F2" tyres for some of our events. Question is are they road legal ? OK they don't exactly look 100% legal now do they ! They are E approved. Do have wear indicators within the tread patterns. They DO NOT say "not for road use" or anything motorsport. They are...

Well, I heard about this the other day and thought why not go down! So, i'm off in December. The problem i've got is there's only 2 of us going down to Cardiff from Sheffield but there will be 7 of us going onto the stages to view. I thought that it would be better if we all went in one...
