summer

Just a nudge of a reminder.:crazy: In the UK, clocks go back one hour today.:doh:

Well, after my abortive attempts to buy an SLK, I still fancied a convertible for the summer. Cheap and cheerful was the order of the day, but nothing has ticked all the boxes until I spied this little beauty on Saturday.. OK, the steering wheel is on the wrong side but that's...

Those that know me also know my crazy ideas.... Here's my latest.... Step 1: Dig up the lawn, making a 2m x 2m hole, to a depth of... 2.5m... Step 2: Lay a gravel base and compact it, then pour concrete to a depth of 2m (so using up half a meter at the bottom) Step 3: Brick the sides, to...

Shortly to collect my w208 CLK and have been reading with interest the debate over trad grilles vs star grilles I have ordered via e-bay the star grill ( see inset) and a flat badge. I believe it lifts the front of the car from staid to sporty in one easy and economical swoop. Ok, Merc...

I have been thinking about buying 1 of the MB SL models. I dont know too much about them however there are some crackers on the Classic car web sites. £10k budget available and it would be for summer use only . So what should I look out for I hear the SL 500 is fast. Any particular faults to...

Since fitting a new driver's seat controller, the summer opening/closing feature now works all the time instead of sporadically, as it did before. Except now the driver's seat air conditioning does not turn on when you activate the opening feature. Is this a wiring thing or something that...

Hi all, Is there a such thing as winter and summer mode on W210 E55's? What would be the outcome of driving with it in summer mode, in the winter? Thanks

I see Silestanix has been at work on his Beemer.. my VeeDub got the treatement today as well. Although I've had it a couple of months now, it's been covered in a layer of filth most of that time.. it's nice to find out what colour it is again. It's a bit of a step down after the C43, but it'll...

Bon Soir All, Now that I have finished building works on the site, I have a large area that would be great for a Midlands GTG... (Unless ive filled it all with cars by then!) Im getting married in April and wont be back from honeymoon until May, so im thinking June or July? Would have...

Mercedes-Benz Summer Drive I've just returned from the Mercedes-Benz ride and drive summer event at Loseley Park, Guildford. It was an oportunity to drive the new E-class and a selection of models from the range, in all they had about 30 cars of which 50% were new E's. I must say that they...

Subject: What I did on my summer holiday By Theo Walcott aged 8 1/2 I went to a place called Germany with my Uncle Sven and some other grown up's. It is a country in Europe where a bad man called Adolf used to live with his nazties, he does not live there anymore, Uncle Owen does live there, and...

Hi Does anyone know how to reset the Auto opening and closing feature. I have tryed to hold down the lock button on the remote whilst pointing it at the driver door but it don't close the windows. Any ideas

OK people - here's the start for the Summer 06 Clumber Park gtg. The poll is to set gather preferences for the date and also for overnight stay choice. We'll look to make it an overnighter for those that want it - you'll see the poll includes dates and overnight. :D I'll allow the poll to...

Does anyone have any info on what's planned for this summer's E-class facelift? The pages on the web suggest that the changes will be very minor (and largely cosmetic)...but if anyone knows any more (e.g. spec changes?) I'd be keen to hear it, as I'm planning to buy an e-class estate (280CDI)...

My car still has the flaking, kerb-damaged 16" sport wheels on it wearing Pirelli snow sport tyres. Winter is probably just about over now (fractional increase in temperature apparently) so it's time for some new tyres and wheels to go with them, preferably 17". I had a look through the OEM...
