    W124 back to the road....

    Hi all, Been given a 95n e220 coupe by the wife's uncle. It's a non starter but I fully intend to get it back on the road.. Just run in at 115k but it's only done 3k in the last 7 years! Been standing for a year so it's going to be a bit of a project. Will need 2 wings and the laquer is...

    UK Road Deaths Up - So What's Gone Wrong?

    Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. After years of focusing UK road safety on what can be easily measured automatically (i.e. speed) instead of what's important (driver quality, education, training, engineering, etc.) we seem to be hitting the buffers. We've got "Twenty's Plenty" and "Speed Kills...

    E350 CDI Road noise

    I Guys, I'm a new member to the club so this is my first post. I recently bought my car and love it to bits! It had really bad cheap tyres on it so thought the road noise I was hearing was caused by said tyres. I had a set of Pirelli's fitted and the noise is still in my opinion unacceptable...

    New road tax system

    Could not see if the existing threads covered this: If I am reading the new road tax system correctly, you can effectively tax for a month at a time? I.e. I have SORN'd Big Gertie (my MH) from the 1st November. But lets say in January I decided to go on a jaunt - I could tax it then for...

    Road Tax

    Hi, just taxed my CLK 320 petrol and had to pay £266.75 for six months. When I last taxed the car six months ago the cost was £156.75, has this increase been due to the new tax system as I did not see any notification of the price difference.

    Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

    I'm not sure it this has been done before - but I thought it may be fun to do again, even if it's a resurrect. Similar to Scott's scrapyard thread, but with the cars/bikes not quite so dead. The only rule being that it must be something that you've seen on the road or out and about, and not...

    Does your AMG induce hatred on the road?

    I have noticed something about my SL55... people (non petrol heads) seem to dislike it. Yes it's loud, but then so is my 911 turbo. My 911 is 2008 and I have had it since new, and my SL55 is 2003 and I've had it for a few months, so it's worth less than a new BMW 320d. Yet I've had people...

    Comand NTG 2.5 shows me as 'Off Road'

    When using the satnav every now and then it suddenly show the car as ‘off road’ or running along a parallel 'road' to my real location. This first appeared in my wife's car in which I retrofitted the unit. At first I thought that it could be that I had not positioned the antenna in the best...
