    Quickest car washing session.

    IMO car wash, Boston, Lincs. The two Eastern European workers (a couple?) spent about 2 minutes on each front wheel, rolled me forwards a foot or so to do the bits they couldn't get to previously, did the windows and mirrors properly before I went through the machine. Sparkling clean, £4...

    W211 Dependability

    I opted for my W211 over a CLS because it had 3 seats in the back and we needed a taxi for similar journeys for similar reasons but with seating for 5. Vascular Demetia is a cruel disease, after 8 years the funeral is this Friday. The best things in life aren't things.

    I don't care how souped up it is.. £150k for a 8 year old E Class!?

    The moggy is the only one he has kept in a heated garage from new. On a B road it's way more fun than the 911 which just seems like it's going to kill you. He uses the landy to tow his caravan around Europe so, yeah, he's a bit odd but in a good way.

    Android Head Unit

    You're welcome. At least you've been in a darkroom, unlike most modern click n chimp 'professional' photographers ;) I can still taste the fixative and I haven't been in a pro darkroom since the late 90's.

    Anyone heard of Oponeo tyre supplier? Are they a scam company?

    Used them twice, no problems, initially cheaper than the local sheds. I find the cheapest available online price and take it to my local who price matches.

    Misfuel/Merc Specialist Needed

    Oh dear, I chose a policy which had that and free replacement key cover which I've yet to try. The policy wording doesn't explicitly exclude Mercedes and Mercedes want £300 because the spare can't simply be be recoded (£100) which is why I got £300 off the screen price because I was warned that...
