    The Dad Wagon...

    Thanks chaps, it definitely has a certain coolness to it I must admit. Thing is for wafting on the motorway, it's ideal. 6th gear, cruise control set to just under 70 and it wafts along brilliantly! It's got a couple of niggles, think it needs new glow plugs and it's leaked some power...

    I've gone all German....

    Why thank you! It's probably the only car I've owned where everyone who's seen it has liked it. Whether it be for the overall looks, luxury element or just the mental engine under the bonnet.

    The Dad Wagon...

    Ok, so I ended up buying a fourth car! Some would say overkill, I would call it bangernomics. Basically my little girl lives 130 miles away so I do a round trip to pick her up every other weekend. Well as you can imagine a 133 isn't really ideal for the trip and as comfy as my CLS is, 25mpg...

    I've gone all German....

    Well since I'm lurking back on here, I thought I'd pop a little update on here with some fresh pics. Not many changes made to the car, found a neat little tweak to the Command system that changes the splash screen from this - To what it should read Also decided to treat the...

    Which battery and spec?

    Hi guys, I've not been on here in a while, been a bit distracted with various other things and a change in car marque. But, I still have my 133 Gordini which shamefully hasn't been driven in about 2 years. :shock: I know, I know, I should have driven it and even more shamefully it's only...

    I've gone all German....

    Yeah I must agree. I mean don't get me wrong, it's not like this hasn't been given proper care but until you go over it yourself you don't get an appreciation for the car. Even going over the interior you appreciate the attention to detail and in a car like this, there really is a lot of that...

    I've gone all German....

    Part the reason I bought it. I've seen the detailing thread my friend put up on the car on a Merc forum and he went to town on it. Engine bay, lights, grilles off, wheels off, corrected, protected the lot. I'm just itching to give it a once over with my own hands though. You get more familiar...

    I've gone all German....

    I had a result with this bad boy, it was owned by a good friend of mine's father in law. This friend of mine (who I believe has been on here) is a professional detailer so has looked after the car from the moment he bought it. Had only done 12k up until 2013, then the chap I bought from put 5k...

    I've gone all German....

    Well at 33 I decided I needed a bit of luxury in my life haha Something to be said about wafting around in something so luxurious but still has something that marks it as a bit mental and out there. So it's got marmite looks and a huge engine. That'll do nicely. Plus it's probably one of the...

    I've gone all German....

    Well I was looking for a replacement for my Megane 225 Trophy. I wanted something faster, bigger, comfier and more luxurious. After considering and doing my homework on M cars I was advised that The CLS AMG was within my price bracket. I stretched the budget a little as this particular example...

    Megane 225 Trophy (48k)

    Here we have my 2005 RenaultSport Megane 225 Trophy. I have owned this car since February 2014 but have known the car since it was brand new and bought it from the family who bought it new. The car has 48,000 miles and is excellent condition. I know the term mint is overused in terms of car...

    ***FREE*** Car Covers

    Hi guys, I have a selection of car covers (from Coveryourcar.co.uk) which I have used at various points through my Twingos life but which are now redundant. I have recently bought a new cover and having a clearout so have a selection of used covers available which are going FREE! 2x Voyager...
