Before anyone makes an obvious comment they've only ever been ornamental. The missus reckoned that they'd fit in in the new kitchen and they do, well she thinks so and that's all that matters.
We went for an ornamental plushed penis.

If it was a Geordie plumber one it'd have to go in the hold as it wouldn't fit in the overhead lockers.

Nearly lost the back of the Merc, it seems that when it says: 'ESP malfunction' it means ESP malfunction!

As an aside, why does it throw this warning up on the dash, but only when the battery is a bit low/lights/AC blower on full are on?

Low voltage with the all load & the alternator trying to recharge the battery too. Older car electrics are power heavy for those sort of systems & they can struggle to feed them properly with a low battery.

I think Ben compares everything with those he tests on a daily basis at Fiorano.
