Used to have a C63...
Just buy two MX-5’s so you have replacement parts to hand :) you’ll get change out of £6k as well!

Can't buy two... now Mrs RH has a 2-car garage! Quite like the new MX-5, was great fun.

Heard they upping the pony count to a whole 190 soon too... o_O

Forgot to ask when I was at the dealer :(.

Is it any good with the W204? Just need to know if it's worth me chasing them.

Works really well, nice toy to have

Fitted a replacement electric aerial on my SL320. Had to take most of the boot out to sort it but I now have radio again!

Meet and greet or self park?

I used meet and greet a few times but never again having seen where they put it and how it was parked... basically cars parked within inches of each other.... the joy of dashcam to find out what they do with your pride and joy....

This morning's news item is a reminder:

Not the last...


One advantage of flying Emirates or Virgin Business/Upper Class is there is a chauffeur service, so no need to worry about the car. Can be in the Emirates Gate Lounge at Heathrow inside an hour, or 75mins at Gatwick from home.

Just took an antiseptic wipe to my steering wheel. What a shock, never figured that it was that dirty, only cleaned it about a year ago :shock:

Not from me I don't think, can't speak for the previous owner though. I can't help thinking about the research done a while back when they found things like Bogies, excretia and lord knows what else !! :(

Painted the rear hubs on the E Class back to silver again.

I did the fronts a couple of weeks or so ago and hoped I could get away with the back ones but they annoyed me every time I looked at them.

No pictures unfortunately as I'm on a different computer but, let's face it, a hub's a hub. :)

I’ve stopped too Gordon - partly as I have the ghost fitted to the 63 which complicates things but even the XC90- last time they had it it was driven up the motorway somewhere to be parked totally off site in somewhere not listed as a Manchester Airport site (the inbuilt tracker told me where the car was, journeys, speeds and all....hmmmm)

Cut off the rusty front of the old Karcher trolley, added some stainless feet ( flange bolts and nuts ;))
Used up the last can of black hammerite.
And I now have a useful trolley for the race glaze filter.
It now Wont fall over, and can be moved whilst supporting the long hose, holster for the Spray Gun etc.

Paints still too soft to support the Race Glaze filter yet ...

Sometimes pays to be a squirrel :):)
Total cost £3.00 in stainless bolts, and the remainder of a can of paint. He he he

And it was earmarked for the skip lol

Looked at the S class on stands, waiting for parts (unusual that).

Replaced the Fuel pump and filter on a very special Brabus SL600, I do not wish to do that job again soon.

Realised I had been driving the C class without MOT for 2 weeks, booked that in!
