Just a little snap from the Ace Cafe meet today!

Just to say also, the project is by no means "finished"!
I'm constantly looking out for what can be improved/replaced/made better.
Already looking at options to tidy up the cam cover and...
The wheel colour is a matter of opinion. A darker colour wouldn't look better IN MY OPINION, and it's my car. And how the hell do you know what the original colour of the wheels were? Anthracite...
I can honestly say the car will never be for sale.... unless someone had INCREDIBLY deep pockets!!

Not long after I got it back from Tim, I noticed a small drip of fluid under the car, plus the air con had packed up again. I took it to my local specialist (Just Volvo, highly recommended), and he...
It was Mercedes Benz of Edinburgh, via eBay! They quoted me £1,319, for a full set of fronts and rears.
It is nowhere near as twitchy as the old mans jag. I do take a lot of liberties with the traction, you just can't ££££ it up! Full throttle in the wet, straight, bends, whatever it just sorts it...
I'll try and dig it out and let you know
Yeah you can get a flat badge. I did buy one of those too. But I
Like the sticky upy one
Steady my nerves??? Eeeer.... No!!!
Swede Sport dyno day today, took the Merc. ££££ting myself!!

M59's have a viscous coupling. Not even in the same ballpark even as a Quaife, let alone a Gripper. I've had all 3. Personally, IMO an M59 with a viscous coupling is barely even noticeable. I...

Nothing major to report, just enjoying the car.
Last week the car went to PTA Valeting for a couple of days for a full interior/exterior/engine bay detail and Williams ceramic coat. ££££ty phone...
Can't believe it's been nearly 6 months. But still loving every minute of it, and without spending £50k on something, there's literally nothing I would replace it with.
Resisted the urge to...
Well done mate, glad it went back to a good home!
I've got a whole kit in my garage, was gonna put it in my S60 but never got round to it.
It came out of John's car.
Looking lovely Mikey
Well, i've had it a month or so now, and I am as happy with it as the day I bought it, maybe even more so!
The noise from the thing is like the gift that never stops giving! :hilarious I still...
I considered an m5, but only the 4.4 turbo really. The v10 is possibly one of the best engines ever made, but like you say the gearbox is toss, and the car itself is a bit dated now. The 4.4 is a...
Yeah they are, when you consider what they cost new. I just hope it never goes wrong!
My knowledge is somewhat limited when it comes to Merc's, so only know what I've picked up on in the last few weeks, so I think I'm right in saying...
The W/S212 (W being saloon, S being estate)...
