5D300AA6-DC28-4FDD-A37C-006D2137EDAC.jpeg Drove 300 miles to Luxembourg Centre-ville... what a horrid day’s drive! Torrential rain, massive road spray, miles of solid nose to tail HGVs, high winds, then 45 miles of traffic jams from north of Bruxelles to south of Liege. Set off 1120 and arrived 1930.

Here we are parked up safely.

Drove down to Hursley (Winchester) and back. Nightmare traffic on the way down, pretty good on the way back. Those big 285 tyres don't like standing water much...

Not on 230. Can't get them in that size.
Try those Hankooks. I have em in 275 and they were superb in the goop we had to hack through yesterday. The car was just totally planted.

Tinting from the front windows on the W211 removed today.

The film was easy to remove with the help of a heat gun. The glue took a bit more elbow grease, and some Angelwax Vision to get rid of it.

I was going to install some H2Go, but the rain came down :(

Just so glad that mine's tucked away out of this awful weather. I'm happy to let my old Peugeot 206 do the dirty work.

I’ll be interested to see that Andy , to be honest my jury has been out since the Panamerican grill appeared but I recently saw it on a new C43 and I’m warming a bit...
Is that like a George Foreman grill? Why would you wabarbeques maybe? :D

Not to my Merc per se, however - who said blown bulbs are useless and should be discarded?
