What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[Wighty]

I forget how much better they look clean.

Instant feeling of job well done as well . ( insert smiley face here )

 

[LostKiwi]

Washed the E Class the other day, not had chance to use it since really.

Just looked at it now and, whilst it's under a car port, it's still covered in snow so it's not going anywhere. Four wheel drive or not...

Just 100 miles south and no snow at all

Yet...……..To-night doesn't look good here at all

 

[Gazwould]

Bit of sleet here .

 

[daveenty]

Not too bad here now but we had a good 3 - 4 inches this afternoon.

Hopefully it will carry on thawing out tonight but if it freezes again it should be amusing in the morning...

Has been snowing here in south Hampshire. Must have been all of a quarter of an inch on the dustbin when I went outside just now but not settled yet on the paths or roads!

Airport bound at 5.30 am so hope not ! (That said I’m not driving!)

I’ve just been up your way and back, through all of the clan. M62, ugh. People with DRLs only, no lights even. Retards. Anyway. 28 mpg across the day.

Reasonable indeed...

Totally agree Craig, the amount of numpties driving with just front DRL's on.
I followed (at a safe distance) a twat in a Black Seat Altea the other morning just after 6 a.m. and it's still bl**dy dark, not even dawn still dark, and said tit only has front DRL's on, Jeezus! the things you see when there are no cops about.

 

[Jimbo1959]

It's now snowing in my neck of the woods and I've had my first drive in my Merc with the snow tyres fitted. (Had to collect my lad from work).
Wow! what a difference, a great investment, the car felt great, planted, no issues!

What snow tyres do you have fitted?

I think the main reason for this is that the dash illuminates upon ignition, therefore said numpties assume that their lights are on, especially as a lot of DRLs are bright enough to look like headlamps from inside the car. I'm convinced that it would be safer to either not switch the dash lights on, or to put the rear lights on with ignition as well as the fronts.

Oh, and it's thick snow again here this morning, hopefully John got to the airport on time. I got my newspaper which is all I'm concerned about this morning as I'm working from home.

Just a dusting of snow here Jim, not too upset with that (Smiley emoji)

Happily ours is a lot less than that, not at all what I expected to wake up to. In view of what's around us we are happy with that (Smiley emoji)

The problem is they have their dash illumination on so forget.

IMO all cars should have auto lights by law to stop this, it is a massive problem
