The central console looks like that from a Vauxhall.

I actually totally agree, I've thought this about the new C Class and also the new E Class. I dont know why, but it just reminds me of the Astra every single time. I think its the radio that does it? Whatever, it really puts me off which is a shame as externally in Sport form they look fantastic.

The interior does look a bit rental. I was expecting loads of toys like Sat Nav screens etc on a big Merc.

A big Merc? It's a C Class, the smallest saloon car Mercedes make.

My 2.2 SRI Vectra

Mate that's a really tidy motor. I've a 2001 2.2 DTi SRi 130. Nowhere near as clean as yours though.

He means he thought that the interior would be similar to the big mercs hes seen featured on top gear

Beginning of the new season saw the ST being used properly this morning;

You can even just about see it cocking the rear wheel

Cool, I've had a go at this twice and got frustrated because I wasn't in a Caterham or the like. How did the Focus do overall?

What is there to be confused about there? C's are low rent and i do not like them. I'd have a C63 for giggles but it maintains the low rent interior. Nothing has changed though, the C has never been much good on this front.

My "new" BMW 330ci M Sport - 53 plate with 59,000 on the clock

A much different drive to my remapped passat 1.8t, but still fun. It appears to be more economical too!

Is there a specific reason for the electronic folding wing mirrors facing slightly forwards at the rest position? Or is that 'just how they did it'?

Its the point upon which they pivot around, they naturally seem to end up like that when they swivel upwards.

short answer ^^^^^

long answer: it's a disused gun point/lookout thing in gibraltar. the hills in the background are spain, and the land in the distance on the left is morroco.

How do!

I've not posted around these parts for many years but here are my current motors.

Daily drive is a BMW Z4M Coupe, pictured here with some friends in Wales.

And for some weekend fun I've got a Clio Williams 2, it's been off the road since November, but should be back very soon

Unfortunately one, either or maybe both may be off soon

Cheers
