    MERCEDES E500 AVANTGARDE SPORT AMG ESTATE 7 SEATER 2004/53 5.0 V8 PETROL FOR SALE

    Had a viewing yesterday and a few offers so far. Not a million miles away from where I'd like to be. Just waiting for the viewer to work out some numbers and get back to me with his offer. I hadn't started or used it for a few weeks but started it yesterday only to find a battery...

    Alfa GTV 3.2V6 Q2

    Looks a peach Matt and good luck. I'll keep my ear out and put the word out to see if I know anyone looking. I know the feeling as have a couple that I could easily sell as just not using them much if at all. That Busso V6 is a wonderful thing and they just don't make much like this any more...

    Brooklands Auto Italia 4th May!!

    Very much likewise was looking forward to seeing you too. Maths tutor and haircut duties for me now :) I'm just the unpaid logistics not the Maths tutor nor the hairdresser for the record! I might be over your neck of the woods in the next week or two to visit a customer site so will drop you...

    Brooklands Auto Italia 4th May!!

    Due to changing children logistics I have to bail now and perform several dad duties to smaller ones instead. Well not so small any more but they still aren't self mobile just yet! Will look forward to catching up with all at the next event though. Would be nice to actually use the 4200...

    EV car driving phenomenon

    Yes. The I-Pace has two regen settings and needs 3 really I suspect. The MG ZS we had before was easier to drive smooth as had 3 regen settings. On the I-Pace with only these two settings, the more aggressive setting is too harsh IMHO and the less aggressive setting not aggressive enough. It...

    That must have been stored at Studio 434 I suspect in Potters Bar near me.

    MERCEDES E500 AVANTGARDE SPORT AMG ESTATE 7 SEATER 2004/53 5.0 V8 PETROL FOR SALE

    I bought this about a year ago to tide me over for occasional work use while I searched for an E55K AMG Estate. I've managed to find and buy an E55K recently so this is now surplus to requirements and no longer required. Great engine, gearbox and spec. It isn't the finest most expensive...

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    I actually think the 4.0 V8 is the best option. Much preferred my 400 to the 500 and 450 Supercharged. You can rev it out and enjoy it fully with it only half wanting to kill you.

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    LOL....nice. Been there a few times. Last one had nearly 500bhp and supercharged. Scary as **** [emoji1787] With a full chassis it would be 1060kg [emoji1]

    CAR TAX

    Just another example of price inflation and profiteering really. Captive market and no competition or alternative so easy for govt to just increase taxes and the peasants will pay. Taxes are increasing but services are reducing. You wouldn't be able to get away with that as a private business...

    Brooklands Auto Italia 4th May!!

    Fook me....price inflation. Last time I went the tickets were £17 & £8. Nearly 50% more now at £30 & £13. Inflation is under control though Jeremy See You Next Tuesday reckons :)

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    I can't expect I'll be able to spend £50k on a car any time soon so a little above my pay grade. Great car and concept. Just like most things that are all getting very expensive in real terms. The concept of simpler, smaller and lighter is the way forward for me. Not more complex, bigger and...

    Maserati Stolen In Less Than 60 Seconds.

    One of my old TVR's had a simple hidden little key you need to insert and turn 90 degrees that disconnected or connected power to the fuel pump. Simple but effective.
