Ermm..

Okay... welp it's been a while hasn't it? Sorry for not posting this beautifully handcrafted ranting content for like a million years!! But today, I shall be talking about the fact that Mercedes decided o just completely AXE the E Class cabriolet AND the C Class cabriolet and just think they can get away with combining them into one car (the CLE), well today people I will not let them get away with it!!!

Now yes, I do know that the CLE has been out for a while now but so what. What im mainly gonna focus on is the cabriolet, so what Mercedes have done is basically tease us with 14 WHOLE YEARS of absolutely great cars, THEN JUST KILL THEM OFF LIKE THEY DONT MATTER!!!!!!!!!, im sorry I need to take a breather... Like what??? Now from personally owning a p-f w213 cabriolet, I can tell you right now it is one of the most comfortable cars ever (the Range Rover is still number 1) and when you're going at speed down a nice country lane or B road it is just beautiful, and the immense power from even the E300 (which isn't much its only 242hp but its enough), which might I mention IS A FOUR CYLINDER sounds absolutely perfect and has an almost devilish roar under acceleration.

Okay now onto the CLE, don't get me wrong this is a good car but it just isn't enough to cover for the E Class, and yes there is a possibility that there will be a CLE 63 AMG but personally from me it just won't live up to the E Class EVER and the E Class is a one and only sort of situation.

Hello, tonight I shall be talking about... Interiors (Yay, nobody said), mainly from the 60s and 70s from both sides of the pond, focusing more on the cities Stuttgart and Detroit.

First of all can we take a minute to admire the absolute timeless designs both cars have, like the 6/70s were mental for pioneering designs but Mercedes and Cadillac were ahead of every single other manufacturer, partially due to the quality and aestheticness of their interiors, from the leather to the wood both of these manufacturers knew what they were doing.

second of tall these two companies effectively are THE luxury cars of their time and even now Mercedes are still pioneering new technologies, but the interiors have sort of been lacking mainly because their idea of luxury now is to basically be driving around in what is effectively and iPad, same with Cadillac to be honest, but can we not just go back to the days when luxury wasn't just about the amount of screens you have in your car but the days where luxury was quality materials and a relaxing place to be.

Lastly, back in the days of velour and real wood and leather, you had so much customisation of what your car could be and you could make it whatever you wanted, now I know you still can but options are currently quite limited to choice and personally I don't think that is we should be aiming for, we should be aiming for whatever you want not just a world of plain black and white cars that all look exactly the same even when put beside each other (looking at you Mercedes), we need more choice in our lives and especially with these mechanical masterpieces that we call our cars.

So tonight, I shall be dedicating this post to someone and you know who you are...

Well tonight I will be talking about mainly 60s American muscle cars, these beasts are so incredibly mental, that could possibly be due to the fact that the designers of this car were definitely on something whilst making these, because what do you mean Cadillac made an 8.2 V8 with less than 200hp???

Also the amount of films and tv shows these cars just show up in such as Supernatural and even Fast and Furious, because of these movies these cars in recent years have absolutely skyrocketed in value AND the worst part is, the never sold them in the uk or Ireland:(

Now I know you're thinking this is a short post but that is because im tooo sleepy to write more but just know I would if I could.

okay now I know I didn't post yesterday...(I was mostly sleeping) But today im writing about this MONSTER right here which happens to be the pre-facelift W212 E63 estate WITH the 6.2 NA V8, not the tiny 5.5 Bi-turbo V8.

Well this car right here is probably one of the most practical estate muscle cars EVER mainly because, you could option this baby with 7 SEATS, although they were in the boot rear facing, all that means is you can put the in-laws in them... But the boot has an astonishing 1950L of boot space with the seats down, thanks to it being an absolute land yacht at just under 5m long.

Next of all the immense power that this beast beholds, 518hp, 630nm of torque and 0-60 IN 4.5 SECONDS!!!! In an almost 2 tonne car, of course all this power is sent to the rear wheels giving you the ability to participate in some "spirited driving" as Mat Armstrong would say.

Moving on, just the vibe within this car is one of the most calming places to be (even though you're getting whipped round corners at mach jesus) thanks to the beautiful leather massaging, hugging, heated and cooled seats, another thing to add Mercedes have always been pioneers of excellence but for a car from 2009, THIS THING HAS AMBIENT LIGHTING!!! Now granted it is one colour (a soothing warm white) but that's still cool shit right there.

Lastly this car has one thing you can't find in any new AMG, and that isn't just a soul but a passion for what it is a professional at, driving to be exact, now I know all the new AMG models are more high tech and safer but you just can't beat this right here!!

Okay tonight Im going to be talking mainly about this right here which happens to be the Pagani Huayra (no specific iteration), the main reason for choosing this car is due to the amount of detail and craftsmanship that went into this car.

For starters this car, at the heart of it, its an AMG with a beautiful and powerful 6.0L Twin-Turbo AMG hand built V12 sending all 700-900hp to the rear wheels with an astonishing 1000nm of torque, not to mention the fact that you could buy this with a MANUAL gearbox (in a hypercar...) or an automated manual, but for a car of this generation, that is CRAZY!!!

Moving onto the next topic, Horacio Pagani put so much effort and love and care into this one car so much so the wing mirrors on the Huayra were sculpted and inspired by his own wife's eyes, now if you don't call that devotion I don't know what it is, nobody anymore would take one chance to create something with so much passion as this man right here and I admire that so very much.

Lastly, even just looking at this car you can tell how original this is by the amount of detail throughout the entire design, wether that be with the gull wing doors or the individual headlight placements, so much care and love put into this car.

So this one may be a little bit boring due to the fact that im going to ramble about some tiny engine for way way too long...

So the engine in question happens to be the cute, powerful and monstrous... Mercedes OM651, to be more specific the 2.1L diesel engine you could find in most Mercedes models in the 2010s, now you may ask, why have I chosen this engine in particular, well let me tell you.

firstly this engine is SO I mean so economical, even with the Mercedes 5G-Tronic it is very economical, but if you manage to get it with the 7G-Tronic, that's even more economical like im talking about 45-60 mpg from this engine, even if your hoking the shit out of it you'll still get good mpg.

Secondly this engine is so powerful for what it is, if you happen to pick up a W212 E250 CDI, you can expect to get 201hp sent to the rear wheels from this, with 500nm of torque thanks to it being a diesel.

Lastly this engine will run for decades, genuinely it will these things will hit 400k miles easily, but the only real problems they suffer from (in my experience) is water pumps and DPF clogging but those are two very easy fixes, personally the water pump only takes around 20 minutes to replace.

Okay well electric cars in general are actually quite good because they're cheap to run and easy to maintain but on the other side of that they aren't very cheap to buy and when something does go wrong, it goes catastrophically wrong which frankly is the reason why there ins one on my driveway right now...

haha got me there...

Well actually this is a grey area for me because I find them quite cool for the fact that their electric and can make so much power, but and its a big but(haha) they just aren't ready even today they aren't because in reality you can get combustion engined cars that do make the same power and go longer distances, granted they are a bit more expensive but they still exist.

In reality I don't really like them due to their cheap build quality and questionable assembly, but they're cool for trying to really reach for the stars but they just aren't really there yet.
