    Opinion time please!

    exactly, a Mustang is FAR better for tinkering with than a Merc plus you can't get much for a Merc anyway, except new rims and a remap. i'm looking for another car too, well i keep thinking about it anyway but i'm more likely to start by buying an engine first and find something to put it in...

    What have you done to your car today?

    the trouble is you're changing your car away from OEM specs which means unless you change it back when you sell it, it won't be worth nearly as much, same with my car too, i can't mod it or add Carbon kits etc. it's the wrong car to mess around with

    yes i wonder about the noise with mine too but it's only really loud if you floor it, i'm getting new rims and tyres too, i bought a set of OZs but they won't be here for ages yet, the front bumper has to resprayed in two weeks as well which is MEGA expensive simply because it's a nightmare to...

    What does your car say about you?

    The Evo looks rust free which is rare for an Evo, the STI is excellent

    Opinion time please!

    yes you can't beat a V8 sound and mine isn't quite as loud as this but it's close, the only drawback is a copper will hear me from miles away so i have to let rip out in the New Forest. There's loads of Ferraris around her and others too because the Ferrari dealer is in Lyndhurst, so do you dear...

    Opinion time please!

    my car didn't break loose at the rear end today but i'm still going to buy new wheels. the AMG has manual too but i've never used it, just sport or sport plus.

    i love auto and it makes a great change from a manual which gets very annoying in stop start driving

    Mercedes Benz and AMG Owners

    it's the bloody warnings on the dash which are screwed but i ignore them, a Merc isn't user friendly like the Jazz, it has way too many sensors but the JAG XJR is the same.

    Opinion time please!

    the SK 500 and i viewed quite a few, has a great interior and very fast too, it has loads of torque and when remapped loads more, it has more torque potential than my C63AMG because it's bi-turbo. BUT the engine is quiet and doesn't sound muscly at all, the one to go for is the SL63 AMG, it's a...

    Mercedes Benz and AMG Owners

    Yes the OEM wheels have a bad reputation for cracking, ok this is good enough for me, i'll order BBS CH-R wheels tomorrow. the main suspicion being, far too many pot holes around here

    Mercedes Benz and AMG Owners

    i had a problem with my AMG today, i researched and found out that the OEM rear wheels might be slightly bent (potholes) and i've noticed a rumbling all the time that sounds like a wheel bearing on the right hand rear side, this noise started two weeks after i bought the car. i accelerated at...

    I get why people want them, because they make great commuters but they are not a fun car and most definitely are not a weekend fun car, they are absolutely a tool, a means of going from A to B, albeit very fast if one needs too and also the ability to more or less self drive, but fun am sorry I...

    What does your car say about you?

    yes the EVO is a brilliant car and the one i like looked fantastic, it still looks great today but it will be a money pit if you buy one, by God it handles well.

    Is a 10 second car considered fast by 2021 standards?

    there's nothing you can do if it loses control, i would say the skill is having the bottle to drive it in the 1st place. but this will be learnt years ago from bracket drag racing, i.e working your way up through the classes until you're wearing big pants. I could never drive one i'd be scared...

    What does your car say about you?

    i would say that's more of an obsession you can't help to be honest, because i almost did the same thing years ago with an Evo 5. i was too slow to buy it but the guy who did blew the engine a week later, but that car looked really good !!!

    2022 Subaru WRX

    yes exactly, but it still looks better than the 2022 Type R, i expect the STI will look similar to that though. it looks like Subaru can't afford to design something totally new, because they said the ``Final Edition`` was the last of its breed, if you can remember, but they're returned with the...
