The day has come, time for her to go into her cozy garage with her float charger on. The little Greenie is to come off the road today for a little rest. She'll be "putting her feet up" and having a pedicure (aka having her wheels done) as soon as I can get my young friend to either take her to...
The other day whilst driving through a McDonalds car park after getting my morning cup of coffee, there was a small incident.
A chap reversed quickly out of a parking space and continued reversing down the 'aisle' toward me. I stopped sharpish and have him a toot.
He ranted, gesticulated and...
Just wanted to share with you the following gem !
Servicing prices can differ greatly between dealers shop around !
Buy your own oil / filter you will save a lot doing this !
I just had my car serviced at merc today for £180 instead of £380 I had initially been quoted !

So this morning on the way into work (literally the last 40m) I clipped a rabbit which has cracked my passenger side LED DRL. I was expecting it to be expensive as its a Mercedes but didn't expect it to be £144!!
The DRL still works however as you can appreciate I would rather replace it now...
Just received 4 Vredestein 205/70 R14 V rated Sprint Classic's for my R107 from Camskill for 85 quid each! A little more than half the price advertised elsewhere as far as I can see ...
Lyonheart K British Sports Car Goes On Sale
We’re glad to report that the deliciously retro Lyonheart K sports car we first told you about in February of last year hasn’t turned out to be vaporware.
The people at Lyonheart, a startup based in Coventry, England, have continued to develop...
Drove this last week in the red rock canyon, Las Vegas as part of my 40th birthday present. Acceeleration was amazing and noise was un-describable. Also drove Jag xkr-s, 458 Italia, R8 v10 and Lambo LP560. Ferrari was best to drive but Merc was best experience.
this is about a 1991 230TE, that I'm learning to respect, she was poor, though getting there.. So today's question is about grinding.
When I start her up in the morning, the first 10 meter's of driving she makes a grinding noise that is coming from the from of the car, it definitely sounds...
FORD MK1 ESCORT VAN on eBay (end time 20-Oct-10 16:14:46 BST)
As someone whose first car was a MK1 Escort in the 70's, this really is lovely, if a little expensire.
Very clean and sweet, and not a boy racer machine.
Not to all tastes I know but a nice concept i think...

Finally got chance to debadge the new E, and while I was removing some chrome - I thought I'd try adding a bit - strips along the bottom of the side windows - trying to make my lowly SE look a bit more like an Avantgarde. Pretty sure I'm the first person in the world to accessorise their new...
Once my car is good and hot, if I pull up at a junction and open the window I get a sweet warm waft, just like an oil breather or hot transmission oil.
If I open the bonnet, nothing. There are no leaks and all breather pipes are connected.
Yesterday I put the car up on ramps, removed the...
mama I'm comin' home to you...
