A sleek, curved vintage Bugatti has become the most expensive car in the world after being sold at an auction in California for about $30m (£20m), easily smashing previous...
Yesterday I thought stupidly that as I had a car in the garage I could maybe take it out after a week locked away. How wrong I was. To cut a long story short I got stranded 4ft off the end of my own drive and had to be rescued by a Jeep. My car isn't just bad in the snow it is the absolute worst...
So, it's been an interesting week or so for my poor car. Firstly I blew out a rear tyre somehow so it's been on the steel spare as I haven't had the chance to get a new tyre on it.
So I was feeling sorry for it so I popped into a hand car wash on the way home one day and they made it look all...
Here is what has been the best recorded mileage returned in my 55 plate C180K Sports Coupe,petrol and driven in 'c' comfort mode.The journey was about 40 miles to Harrogate,on a warmish day,which will help.The actual mileage was actually 48.3mpg - but by the time swmbo,had figured out how to...
Advertised my car Sunday evening.....sold Tuesday evening! Never have I sold a car so quickly....recession; what recession!!
It was a 2000 CLK 320 Cab.
Perhaps I undersold it (I don't think so looking at autotrader), but I got a lot more than the trade in values I had been quoted.
Those really observant ones amongst us will have spotted a huge decrease in fuel prices recently. That means we can actually get to fill up the ML without the pump shutting off at £100:eek:
This morning it was running pretty low on fuel and I put 98 litres in. :crazy: That's in a tank with...
Refurbed AMG's back on the car Sunday.
Hit a pot and 'kerbed' the front driver side today.
Is this a record?
P.S. The pot was on an unadopted street. Is it permissable to go along putting out residents windows?

I was appalled to read this, a driver of a Porche has admitted speeding.
At 172 Mph
He denies a further charge of aggravated vehicle taking though so it looks like it was probably stolen
And while were on about speeding a warning to all you clever dicks always looking for the way out...
Earlier tonight while driving back from my folks in the Cottswolds my Orange fuel warning light came on, mile after mile, Closed petrol station after another I was starting to get worried.
As I went on I decided to slow down to 40-50Mph (60 Mph roads) I ended up outside Coventy & found an...
Hi all,
Just wondering if you people have read about the record achivement of 100K miles in 30 days by 3 E320 CDi's in the states. Read seems impressive, but does it tally with our day to day usage of ordinary motoring, from a reliability and durability point of view.
