roads

Gentlemen, Took my E Class Estate four-up on a run yesterday and couldn't help but thinking that the ride had got firmer since I bought it 3 years ago. 149,000 miles and by the look of the full MB history it's never had any suspension needed. Tyres are all good and balanced. Should I...

left early sunday morning from stoke heading to barmouth n.wales wow made me realise what the 63 can do it was made for the roads i encountered i found no cars at all, the power and torque is relentless around thw twisty roads one of my best ever drives....what a car.

Hi, My cars tuned so making more HP than stock. Its a 2013+ C63 sedan and the ESP seems generally very good at controlling the rear end in the dry warm months of summer. However, its not so great now its colder and wetter so have to drive carefully especially from junctions. To make things...

As a newbe just reading people struggling with lots of power and damp or wet conditions,I've recently just swooped my CLS250 shooting brake and got a C63,loving it at the moment,but like a few have said these cars are tricky in these conditions,you have to alter the way you drive or that's what...

Thousands of drivers using illegal 'James Bond-style rotating number plate covers' to avoid traffic fines. The number plate concealing devices can be bought on ebay and the DVLA reckon it's not for them to deal with. Thousands of drivers using illegal 'James Bond-style rotating numberplate...

We drove back from the South of Germany yesterday ... today the temperature has hit 40C, and they have a blanket 80 kph (50 mph) speed restriction in force due to the effect on the road surfaces. A narrow escape!

I heard about this incident on my car radio yesterday morning . Tragically , a driver stopped on the hard shoulder to change a wheel and was struck and killed by a passing vehicle . BBC News - Man dies after car and van crash on M74 in Lanarkshire While these incidents happen quite regularly...

Hi I'm looking for a rolling road to test my c63, it's supposed to be remapped to 495bhp (Quantum remap) but I have never drove any other c63 so I would never know the difference. Just want it rolling roadbed to see what sort of figures it makes, and if it's not as good as I expected, get a...

I pulled up outside a house yesterday and was greeted by a hissing sound, the result of which is a deformed tyre bead where it meets the inner rim :devil:. I'm not aware of any thuds and try my best to avoid potholes etc, however, the upshot is 2 new tyres (I always change both on one axle if...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at all this dithering; one minute there's talk of a higher 80mph limit, now this... BBC News - 60mph speed limit proposal for stretch of M1 motorway

For New Year my wife and I drove 3173klm from Sydney to Cameron Corner and back. Cameron Corner is where New South Wales, South Australia & Queensland meets so you have 3 different time zones in one New Year's eve! Roughly 1,000klm involved very poorly maintained roads, bulldust (talcum...

Cleaned the SL today and took her out for a spirited bimble on the local roads, loved it, but...... ......couldn't get any decent space to really stretch her legs, the trouble is with this much torque and speed, you just seem to catch up anything else on the road really quickly and have to...

In the interests of being aware of flooded roads this Christmas, could people list the road sections here and the day/time they encountered them?

Hit a bloody pothole in my old 1998 CL now cannot get my ABS light out on dashboard, been told by garage that the sensor has split on the driveshaft ( think he said that - he did take a photo to show me ) . More investigations required - has this happened to anyone ? ( I am a new Merc owner...

ok, so this evening, i saw the new s class on the road. it was dark, so the headlamps were on full illumination. I must say, it was a very complicated affair with the led eye row and the pair of led projectors. the rear looked very sharp and exciting, but the front headlamp design was...

Not sure if this is correct place to post. Looking to take the c63 into Europe an not sure which roads are best to go to. Anybody on here ever done good routes from the uk?. Cheers folks

In the her article, Greer observes It's worth reading the rest of the article as it raises some interesting points about accountability and performance of the HA. So, rather than just post a rant about the state of the roads, the number of potholes, etc., what constructive suggestions can we...
