    The Worst Thing About Returning From Holiday...

    ...when you take your car, is usually clearing all the sand out of all the nooks and crannies. For me, this time it's having to get an estimate for the repairs to my car after it was hit in a car park in Croyde. Of course, the culprit didn't own up and there was no CCTV... After a bit...

    The only thing my wife dislikes about my car..

    Is that she now gets cold feet when sat in the back (she likes to sit next to the baby). Should the rear footwells have heaters?

    I don't remember a thing

    Last night was the annual BT Christmas meal/drink. All I know was there were huge amounts of beer sampling going on from 7pm last night and the next thing I know, I awoke at 7.30 this morning, fully dressed, on the sofa, with a stone cold cuppa next to me wearing one shoe! :crazy: I know at some...

    Taste is an individual thing

    It looks like one of those Chinese copies that have been posted on the internet. But no, this is a real W210 butchered by some idiot somewhere on t'internet. /edit: Actually, its not a W210 at all. Please ban me for thinking such filth.

    Probably The Most Stupid Thing One Can Do To The Instrument Cluster.

    The turn signal assembly of my car came loose and wobbly and I had to remove the steering wheel in order to check and tighten the assembly mounting screws. Since I have taken off the steering wheel, I thought I might as well take out the instrument cluster and clean up the coolant tank warning...

    It's an age thing ...

    Anyone have one or driven one of these? http://www.volkswagen-vans.co.uk/california/index.php If so, would be very grateful for your impressions and thoughts. Incredibly, there are no dealers in London for the VW California. Also, anyone know how to get a discount on these? Thanks mucho.

    a funny thing sailed by my house today

    I have posted the odd picture of views from our rear garden of Lyme Bay, but this morning this is what I saw from our bedroom window when I looked across Torbay! Sorry about the haze, but there is a slight sea mist, plus it is roasting hot. The picture for those that are interested was taken...

    USA-Every thing is a 500

    Just got back from Florida, and more or less every E,SL and S Class out there was a 500. Even every W202 was a 280 or bigger. In two weeks I only spotted one C220. Mind you, at 35p a litre I suppose they can afford to run the V8 500's.....Lucky sods-I'm emigrating :)

    The last thing I remember [ joke]

    :) We were watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" in bed last night. I turned to her and said, "Do you want to make love?" "No." She answered. I then said, "Is that your final answer?" Yes." She replied. So I said, " I'd like to phone a friend." That's the last thing I...

    CLS - a thing of beauty

    I was at a small motor show in Glasgow last weekend and was able to sit in and have a good look around the cls. It is really impressive. Best looking car for years from MB. Anybody got one. Are they as good to drive? Be smug and tell all. I thought the £50k price tag was a touch high.

    Harry doing the right thing.

    It looks like Harry is joining the blues and royals (wasn't his father also in them ;)), I honestly thought he was really into the infantry and was going to be a man. I think we all knew he was going to guards the idea of him joining the infantry was absurd, but I for one held out hopes for...

    spare wheel plastic basin thing

    Anyone got an idea what this bit is called? I had a puncture today & found that it was cracked (it seems to sheild some pump) and a bit had dropped out (the bit that holds the screw that holds the wheel) so I need a new one. I really don't fancy a 2 hour conversation with my stealership (which...

    weird thing happening with batteries...

    ....I'm pretty thick when it comes to electrics - but My Dad has come up with something rather weird with two duracell batteries. Imagine if you will - you have a normal 1.5v battery, you put the probes on each end from a volt reader and it reads 1.5v as you would expect. You then do exactly...
