    Maserati 4200/GS Unsilenced X-Pipe Wanted

    Has anyone got a 4200 or GS unsilenced X-Pipe? Could be new or used. Just would like to give my 4200 a little more sound. Without going for full the bananas straight through rear sections to replace the back boxes that I have in the garage!

    W213 Mercedes E43 AMG Estate Premium Plus 9G 4Matic 2017/17 For Sale

    I bought this in October 2022 and as some might have seen in another thread never really got on 100% with it. Maybe I have bought the wrong car or are getting old but just finding it a little too sporty for my needs. It seems a perfectly good and capable car to me, drives really well so does so...

    Anyone found a good interesting to drive but still comfortable practical daily?

    I bought a 2017 E43 AMG Estate towards the end of last year aiming for a comfortable practical daily that was still interesting to drive. I cannot fault how well it drives as a drivers car and MB have achieved a great deal in this regard. Just finding it a little less comfortable than I was...

    FINALLY DECIDED TO SELL THE 4200..........ADVICE ON WHERE/HOW TO SELL & PRICE?

    I've been wobbling and dithering for a couple of years now about whether to keep the 4200 or not. However, I have decided that it should be sold now as just not getting much if any opportunity to drive it. I've had it for just over 7 years and the last couple of years the mileage has really...

    Potential 4200 Sell Price?

    I decided to do a new dedicated thread for this one. Any thoughts on what I should be looking to sell my 4200 for? It is pretty impossible to find anything equivalent for sale now and have not seen anything like it since I bought it nearly 7 years ago so quite hard to ascertain what it would be...

    Govt Reducing EV Grants.....increase adoption by lowering/removing grants......of course!!

    https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry-news/government-cuts-electric-car-grant-£3000-£2500 Is this not an odd way to try to encourage people to adopt EV's and increase take up? Reduce the grant for the bulk of sales and remove for all EV's over £35k. Seems a bit odd to me. Means I...

    You Tube Car Channels in Lockdown

    I'm confused. Maybe someone can clarify. I'm always watching car You Tube channels from the usual suspects. I was expecting in the current Covid climate and with lockdown restrictions for these to be lacking new content. However this doesn't seem to be the case. Should many of these channels...

    ONWARDS & UPWARDS - THE POSITIVITY & HAPPINESS THREAD

    I am not sure if we have a thread like this already but I thought I would kick one off if not. Many have had a terrible year and I fear that 2021 won't be much better just a different set of issues to deal with. So I thought we should use this thread to come together more and try to lift some...

    Motorway 60mph Air Quality Trial

    So Highways England will be trialling a permanent 24/7 60mph speed limit on some sections of the M1, M5, M6 and M602. These sections highlighted have NO2 levels exceeding the legal limits. The idea is that cars travelling at 60mph is better than cars travelling at 70mph for emissions. Surely...
