What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

Washed the old girl, then took her for a nice drive out down the country lanes. Got a lovely wave from another Mercedes driver in a white stretch limo, looked like a 124. Then stopped to get some fuel and got chatting to a guy at the pump, complimenting me on the old girl. Drove home on a real high

Sounds like a nice guy? Did he say anything about your car ? "just asking"

Get the wine open Sarah, yes that is two glasses. I will bring the waterless wash and wax and will have you looking all mint and shiny in no time at all.

Sounds like they were checking you out

I do love chatting to people when about cars when I’m out and about. I completely understand what you mean, it peps you u for the day.

I had that kind of day last Saturday. Chatted to a lovely gent at Starbucks on the M40, who has an Aston Martin DB9 as his main car. He street parks it in London on weekdays and drives to Birmingham and Gloucester every weekend. It’s only washed when it’s serviced.

It needs a blooming good wash and a bit of a zhuzh but I loved it’s story, it’s battle scars, and it’s colour combination so I handed him my number to keep ready for the day he decides to move it on. I love chance meetings like that.

Both children have been with us on Saturday and Sunday this week - a rare thing as they grow up - so both days we went out in the car we used as our family car when they were children. A wonderful car, bringing back wonderful memories.

I took the E500 to London and back yesterday (round trip from Nottingham ~250 miles). Annoyingly I had a bit of a wheel wobble above about 65mph with my newly fitted winter wheels - first time I'd had them up to speed, and of course I'll be visiting the tyre fitters today to get them re-balanced. But it meant I chose to use the speed limiter to stay at about 63mph - just below the point where the wobble would start - and that, plus interminable stretches of the M1 being restricted to 50mph, meant that I got the best fuel economy I'm ever likely to get from this car.

33mpg on the way there, and 32 mpg on the way back. Check my working, but I make that 65mpg

Rachel Reeves for the maths, but I thought he must be a farmer going for the demo.
