    Get it steam cleaned. Cover all the electrical terminals and intakes first, then remove the undertray so the water/oil mix won't sit on it.

    Took my C63 to Goodwood members meeting this weekend. The roads from mine to Goodwood really highlighted how different the C63 is to my C43. The balance is totally different and you can really feel it dig into corners whereas the C43 was always a little vague due to the 4WD. The C43 is 100% the...

    What is the best car you've ever owned and a brief reason why?

    C43 AMG. Been my daily for 3 years, never missed a beat. Transported my wife and kids on 3 x euro trips in comfort and speed. Hands down the best car I have ever owned, and may likely ever own as fast estates aren't a growing breed. I don't keep my cars for very long but this is the longest...

    Thanks. That reaffirms my decision to list my car on AT. It's the cheapest non Cat. car on there and in much better condition than some of the higher priced ones, so even if I take a couple of thousand less than the advertised price I'll get more than what's currently being offered.

    How likely is it that you will get paid more than the initial evaluation from companies like Motorway and Carwow?

    The C63 is a little older with 10k more miles than my C43, but as I won't use it as much, pricewise it will be an almost straight swap. I did consider putting another ~£14k down and getting a new C63S with less miles but as it's not my main car I know I won't use it much and it will be money wasted.

    Buying & selling vehicles

    Pretty much, yes. You need to register as a motor trader and there's quite a few steps involved. Not sure it warrants the effort for buying a bike/car and selling every now and then.

    Made a deal on the C63 mentioned earlier. Going to keep my C43 for a month because I am still on the fence as it's been such a great car.

    When are you going fully electric?

    I did, it's a great car for the money. My only criticism is the safety systems are far too intrusive.

    When are you going fully electric?

    To be fair, the town centre was quite nice as the buildings are very period and it was pretty clean.

    Its a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a new yellow CryptoClaren!

    Nice one, love the colour. Convertible FTW.

    When are you going fully electric?

    Currently sat in Honda Wolverhampton waiting for my car to charge before I can leave, and hopefully never return because this place is an absolute dump, on top of being called a c*** by some random white van man whilst walking along the side of the road from the station to the garage :cry:

    Can I buy yours when you change it, and can you change in the next month or so? :cry:

    The most annoying thing is the lack of S estates available. There's a handful and only a couple are worth looking at. There aren't even any through Mercedes. I haven't driven an S either so I probably should to see the difference, although I'm still not convinced that the additional outlay will...

    Been looking at a C63 (non S) that is owned by a doctor at my surgery. It has the right spec but the miles are high (85k) and it's 18 months older than my C43, but, it would be a straight swap within ~£1k if I can sell my car for what I think it's worth. Seems like a good deal and I will not be...

    Pic: Your desk...RIGHT NOW

    Great for gaming and media. Ok for Teams calls but they make people sound a little muffled. I only paid £60 from them directly from Creative and for the money I think they're great.

    Yeah, it was at least half the cost. Annoyingly, the gear changes are still a bit jerky so I will ask them to reset the adaptions to see if that makes a difference. Been actively looking for C63 estates and there is not very much on the market that is >2017, low miles and decent options...

    When are you going fully electric?

    If my car comes with an app that I can schedule charges with, presumably I don't need a charger that is compatible with Octopus Go or other ev tariffs? I can just get any tariff and any EV charger and schedule the car to charge during off peak times?

    Are you a top revenue earner?

    I would like to see medical professionals get paid much more than they currently do. The amount of abuse they take on a daily basis due to factors outside their control is unacceptable.
