You are a busy little bunny buddy . Cars looking great

Thanks.....

Yes, and today I had 2 Front Tyres fitted as there was quite a bit of wear on the inside shoulders.... Are these cars prone to this because I see on previous MOT's going back 10-12 years that this type of wear was noted as an advisory quite often - and this being done at Mercedes??

Maybe worth getting the alignment checked on the fronts, I paid £45 the other day for it .

Yes, I plan to...... But I'm just wondering why it wasn't done on previous occasions when the car was tested at Mercedes.... Confused...??
Because MB would want a lot more than £45 ? The owner turned down their kind offer to add loads of money to the bill for two tyres ?:rolleyes:

I had over 37mpg average from mine until I was caught in the early Creamfields traffic and then parked on’t M62 coming home :(. So I’ve decided to eat out for a change :D

I got a decent mpg today going to Manchester and back. The ****** traffic was horrible. Pulled up and the service station to get the kids a bacon butty and there was 100s of half naked young women in bright coloured clothing dotted about the place going to some pride thing. I just didn't know where to look I was disgusted . :D:D:D:D:D

Yawn....and not even Efficient apparently - how dare they?

6.9miles per kwh!!

Our ze40 zoe does 4.5ish on a combined run of country lanes and 20miles dual carriageway. That is much better.

Here it is charging from a diesel generator:
