I agree with what Tony and Colin have said. Enjoy your superb car ! Regards John

Background noise signalling the creation of the universe? Seriously, welcome and enjoy the contributions from some especially knowledgeable members. Regards John

Congratulations Giles and many thanks for sharing the successful outcome. There will be a number of members who will gladly buy you the proverbial pint for your perseverance and willingness to share the result and the method. Now if you can patent the process and lend it under licence to willing Indies, you look set to make a fortune and deservedly so! I hope that news of this gets to Tony Richa as he had to "give his 450h away" Regards and good luck. John

And it will still be bottom of all of the reliability surveys !! Dream on! Regards John

Just don't do it when you're driving! :) Anyone know a girl who can talk,drive,cook, wear headphones and text at the same time? Regards John Have you tried Ebay? Mike On one of my Mercedes Forums, they showed recently a photo of a girl cyclist in London traffic not wearing a helmet, nor holding her handlebars, but wearing headphones listening to her Ipod and texting!! And I have actually driven in a slow moving line of traffic on M6 and seen a lady drinking coffee, texting and reading a map whilst on her handheld phone. How or why they do these things is beyond me! Multi-tasking, my backside....it is just plain stupid! Regards John

I agree with you Mike re the front and rear foglights. I`m afraid that I do not understand anyone who says they didn`t see you coming when you had dipped beams on .......seems to me that they were driving without due care and attention! Regards John

In my view; The Highway code requires dipped headlights in low or poor visibility. Common sense suggests that if no DRL`S then side lights or dipped headlamps enable one to be seen more quickly than would otherwise be the case. Common sense also suggests that when driving; do not drink, smoke, wear headphones, read maps, use the phone, wear headphones etc. There is an offence of "Driving without due care and attention" and I wish that the Police would be more bold and apply it more often. Regards John

I get max of 40 on long run to Germany. Long run to Edinburgh,38 is typical. Driving around locally the most I get is 30. Acceptable for a 3.5 litre V6 automatic with Aircraft acceleration and first class cabin! Regards John

Been to Fallingbostal twice this year from Wirral through France, Belgium, Holland and Germany. Saw plenty of CT`S, one GS and not a single LS ! Regards John

Welcome, Ian. The boot on mine can take two sets of golf clubs inc bags and not much else! The car however is like I imagined Concorde to be (0-infinity in x seconds) !! Regards John

Welcome Roger. You will love driving the Hybrid, but take great care when by pedestrians in car parks etc as they are not aware of your presence. Regards John

That is a cracking car Adam....and a gift at 14k! Don`t take it to Cornwall as they might think that you are Doc Martin! Regards John

And will be for a while I guess. How are you getting on with yours Jonathan? I`ve not seen any updates since you picked it up from the Wirral. Regards John

How about something to keep the seats clean? Enjoy. Regards John

my view too! Most (if not all) journalists have never bought nor owned their own car. I STOPPED READING THEIR RUBBISH COMMENTS YEARS AGO. In my opinion the only Motoring Journalist that is worthy of noting is Honestjohn of the Daily Telegraph and honestjohn.co.uk Regards John oNLY hONEST JOHN

As one J Keats once implied......beauty does indeed lie in the eye of the beholder. Comparisons are inevitable but in my view are unnecessary. Regards John

A very nice example Jonathan. Very pleased for you as I know that you have been searching. I am on the Wirral but have not seen that one around. Hope it gives you many long and happy years service. Regards John

It works using Maxthon Cloud too! Many thanks bluenose. So IE is not what it`s cracked up to be. Regards John

Hi Geoff (Bluenose 1940), I too cannot cut and paste! Have you or anyone else solved the "how to" yet ? Regards John

Welcome Darren. Hope that you enjoy the 450H. Never BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYWHERE NEAR 44MPG AS 38 HAS BEEN MY BEST. Enjoy the forum. Regards John

Very pleased to hear that Mike. So there really is a God? Congratulations. Regards John

Does not cover the entire Hybrid system Steve......read the small print. And read the Tony Richa saga !! (do a search) Regards John

If you were not at fault Mike, then surely the onus is on the other driver or his insurance company to put you back into the position you were immediately prior to the other party causing the damage. The market value of your car is irrelevant. The other party is responsible for his/her actions and should be required to make good even if that means using parts from other vehicles if necessary. If needs be do consult a solicitor. Good luck Regards John
