    Right place, right time - a landlord/tenant success story.

    Over the weekend I had two tenants move out of a two bed house they have been renting from me for the last three years (they are buying elsewhere). A great shame for me as they were model tenants, and I have to find new people. The next door neighbour (a 75 year old gent with a terminal...

    A "possibly" true story about why the SLK was conceived ....

    I dont know whether its true or not but I remember reading in a car mag years ago as to why Mercedes brought out the SLK and it didnt have anything to do with the new fangled trick tin top roof. Apparently the wife of one of the top cheeses at merc had a 129 and found it too much effort to...

    Shunt- The story of James Hunt

    To save you the trouble. Don't buy this book! Aside from the fact that it is called the story of James Hunt, 2 entire chapters are dedicated to Niki Lauda. With respect to Niki (and the interesting chapters they are) it has nothing to do with James. And it is also not "approved" by the...

    Another "about to go on holiday" story...

    While out and about yesterday afternoon, the brake warning comes on in the cluster - not the big, ominous red one but the brake wear one. Not usually a problem - book it in, get it done in a couple of weeks - but we're off to Spain on Wednesday so the timing could have been better. Phone...

    What's the story with W211 E55 wheels?

    Could someone tell me what the story with W211 E55 AMG wheels is? There seems to me to be 2 standard/no cost options and one 19 inch 2 piece rim cost option. What I want to know is: Did you have to specify that you wanted the solid 5 spoke 18 inch wheel or did you have to specify that you...

    Mini 140-series restoration/tidying up, plus its story

    I've never posted pictures of my parents' CL420 on here before, so I thought this would be a good opportunity. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to show you at the moment, as I'm yet to upload any photos to a host website. So I thought I would begin with a little information on the car...

    M5 Gearbox "story"

    Heard a strange tale from our local garage and in the vein of how something small as a bump to the from to a nissan gtr can lead to an £11k bill he told me the following. Apparently if you place a good sized magnet onto the M5 gearbox if it has a good magnetic field it can interfere with the...

    Lock bolts and Ball joints - A short story!

    Chapter 1 Heard the usual clonking noise, did the search and bought a couple of ball joints, so far so good. Saturday morning, leisurely start, wheel brace out, loosen nuts. Holy cow! or words to that effect, appears someone had torqued the buggers up [I actually broke out into a sweat just...
