DecemberSo, this brings us pretty much up to date. Last week I had a bit of fun monkeying about with the Mercedes-Benz press fleet; I drove the CLS Shooting Brake... DSC_6002 by dbizzle_, on Flickr ...the G-Wagen... DSC_6011 by dbizzle_, on Flickr ...the A45 AMG... DSC_6082 by dbizzle_, on Flickr ...the S500 Plug-In Hybrid... DSC_6060 by dbizzle_, on Flickr ...the slightly deranged S63 AMG... DSC_6040 by dbizzle_, on Flickr ...and my favourite of the bunch, the GLA45 AMG. With the optional AMG exhausts, full-bore flat upshifts are rewarded with crackling artillery fire. Astounding. DSC_6050 by dbizzle_, on Flickr

...and to round things off, I borrowed a V12 XJ-S last weekend, for the latest instalment of my 'Guide to Britain'. DSC_6103 by dbizzle_, on Flickr DSC_6088 by dbizzle_, on Flickr DSC_6112 by dbizzle_, on Flickr DSC_6115 by dbizzle_, on Flickr So, that was that. I also managed to get over 100 articles published this year across Retro Cars, Performance BMW, Banzai, Retro Ford, Classic Ford, GoCompare Covered, PetrolBlog and so on which, given that all of this car stuff is just a sideline for me (alongside my full-time day job in advertising, and being a dad to an excitable two year-old), isn't bad going at all. Roll on 2015!

Great thread. Bit jealous of some of these junkets you've been on, lol. Also serves to remind me just how slack I've been with doing show threads this year. I think I've got three I never finished and another three I never even started And about two weeks to get them done
