Hi, been here a while just never posted. Had an experience recently that I feel needs to be shared. So my 2012 C220 coupe B service came round recently along with the gearbox service. The mechanic who I have taken my cars to for years for MOT's owns his own C300. Last years MOT I spoke to...

Last year I made one of the riskiest purchases of my car owning life - buying an old smoker with no history. For a long time I had a desire to own an R129 ever since my friends older brother rocked up in one. It was a 1990 SL500 in red with beige leather. So last year I took the plunge...

1954 F1 Mercedes could fetch £5m at auction after it was abandoned in warehouse for 3 decades | Mail Online. What a find.

Well - sort of. On Saturday, I won some overly-expensive technical cold-weather gear (expensive - at least by my standards) that I wanted for a trek in the Artic circle I'm doing in December. RRP of the item is £400-something, and I won it for less than a quarter that. Oddly - the...
