Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.
Since its founding in late 2008, 500Eboard has become the leading resource on the Internet for all things related to the Mercedes-Benz 500E and E500. In recent years, we have also expanded to include the 400E and E420 models, which are directly related to the 500E/E500.
We invite you to browse and take advantage of the information and resources here on the site.

Feel free to ask questions, and make liberal use of the "Search" function to find answers.
We hope you will become an active contributor to the community!

Pedro,
You have been here. Well there are lots of twists and turns and can be fun, also many other road users whom anything to do with tarmac and whitelines is a novelty. Nightime here and whitelines is a different story. To be honest the car is not suited to the island and cannot be exercised properly. Plus you cannot park here without watching the car. There is no respect for any type of vehicle and I have seen euro100k plus cars with horrendous scrapes bumps and kerbed wheels only a few months old. Watching french spanish and italians squeezing into parking spaces is painful. If any of you guys are interested in Gwagens, well there are some really Hi spec expensive top of any range vehicles here. Mostly Black or white. The Russians really like them. Horrible Hummers proliferate but PDiddy likes them. For everyday, me I make do with a 22 year old Range Rover 3.5 Classic. Perfect all rounder except for the fuel at 15.5 mpg.
At the weekend I watched a round of the Spanish Hillclimb Championship. Closed Mountain roads in the North of the Island. Very spectacular. You never see anything like this in the UK as it is not possible to close public roads for speed competitions.
