  • Transcontinental road trip 30 Nov 2003 (Forum)
    Only open by prior appointment after 1 November, this is a popular venue for individuals and clubs in the summer but be sure to check their website http://www.offroadpark-langenaltheim.de as manufacturers such as Audi sometimes book the entire site for their prototype testing. Now we started climbing into the Alps toward Graz in Austria for our pre-arranged tour of the Mercedes-Benz G-wagen production line at the huge Magna Steyr assembly plant. During our leisurely stroll down the full length of the production line we could see why G-wagens are so different and so expensive.

  • Why are no small city cars available with a decent automatic transmission? 3 Aug 2010 (Ask HJ)

  • The car you drive.. 21 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    Mostly staid boring with no image and less imagination. Lots of retired people drive Mazdas. You're in the way and should get off the road. Mercedes-Benz Responsible, immaculate and conservative. Boring CEO clones with too much money, or the office super-geek who can't remember what it's like to have fun. Definitely not dating material. Nissan Good, solid, responsible, loyal office-fodder.
  • A popular car in Iraq... 24 Sep 2003 (Forum)
    The armouring company has sold 60 Fieldmissions to Iraq in the last 3 months out of around an estimated 200 total sales. Compare the price with a factory armoured Mercedes Benz G-500 of similar specification which costs Euro 70,000 to Euro 100,000 more. What ever you do, don't lock your keys inside! Other issues to worry about? Petrol at 70 to 77 octane, leaded only of course, although 95 octane unleaded is now being imported in large quantities from Kuwait by the Americans.
  • More on Hydrogen. 17 Jan 2002 (Forum)
    Fuel cell-powered prototype buses are already running in some cities. DaimlerChrysler aims to be the first to the market with a fuel cell car based on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, which is expected to go on sale in 2004. Other manufacturers also have fuel cell vehicles in the pipeline. Although a fuel cell now costs about 100 times more than a comparable conventional engine, the cost should fall as fuel cells enter mass production.
