Epping 4.15am
It's still dark, car was loaded yesterday and I only hope I haven't forgot something.
1,2,3,4 all in and we are ready to go. Sat nav estimates 1h45min to Folkestone and there are no reported accidents. Perfect. A406 A13 M25 M20 should be a nice ride at this time of a day...
As much as it pains me to do this i'm putting my 2017 Bianchi Freccia Celeste up for sale as not being the fittest guy I find the race geometry a little too aggressive for me, I need a more racing endurance setup like my old Via Nirone was.
Full info on this model can be found here if you're...

Thoroughly recommended. 2,200 miles in seven days. Zero problems with either car (CLK and a 911).
Enjoy!
4 x 225-65-17 General Grabber All Terrain tyres.
Knobbly off road tyres, nearly new so tons of tread, no damage whatsoever, these were on a Honda CRV I purchased but they were too noisy for my liking and I don't count school runs or going to the office as "off roading" so they have to go...
my Bianchi Via Nirone Sora up for sale. This is the first 'proper' bike before I bought my Freccia Celeste earlier in the year.
2016 model and size 55cm. In really good condition as can be seen in the photos. Hasn't had much use, for the past six months is it's been at my brothers house on...
I've always noticed at motorway speeds that there was more a little more road noise coming from the rear on the near side compared to the off side.
After 2 years of ownership I decided to investigate by removing the rear seat squab to see if there was anything obvious that could be rectified...
...so during a 3 month stay in Provence last summer I purchased the aforementioned sl320...with a tight brief ( original Saco design, cream interior and low miles) I identified a 56k mile car which following much discussion I bought unseen in the flesh...collecting it on return to the UK...
Took my C63 AMG PP down to Surrey Rolling Road in Farnborough this morning to check its power output prior to getting a remap done.
The factory figures are 487bhp for my model but it showed 528bhp on the dyno, which according to Charlie the operator, indicates that it has already been...
So on 9th June I'm off on a nice little road trip.
It's my 40th Birthday this year so me and my best buddy are meeting up and doing a convoy roadtrip of the "Alpenstrasse" or "German Alpine Road". It runs from Lake Constance in SW Germany right across through the Bavarian Alps to Austria...
Greetings, Citizens.
I love the MOT history checker & use it all the time. It's got to be one of the most useful things for checking out "potential purchases", how did we live without it?
But it has other uses as well, such as amusement. For some reason today I was reminded of a car I used to...
Hi,
Now that I have my car running well again I thought I'd address an long standing issue that I've ignored.
When travelling over a bumpy road I can hear a chirping / squeaking noise from the central dash area.
Has anyone experienced something similar and know what it might be...
Hi All, When I got my C63 I done a video of the exhaust whilst driving, finally got out today with the E63 to do the same. Surprising how very quite it is until its under load.
Please excuse the pretty rough editing.

Road trip season is approaching, and as the calendar ticked over into March I realised I had been a bit tardy with the planning for a road trip this year.
We normally have a European tour of some description, but this year we're whizzing down to the South of France, with just one stopover in...
