Lush car man, with me being a 39.99 a month subscriber to planet of dreams I was lucky enough to win the s3 Quattro last month on the 5th of May, unfortunately I couldn't come pick up the car for insurance reasons but the prize money went a long way, ive managed to get a mk4 golf r32, put money away in daughter's savings and still sit comfy, just wanna say a big good luck to all you guys that have entered the competition and support the channel, when you buy a ticket for a car raffle or subscribe to a competition platform you never think it is gunna be your day winning anything but trust me them days can come 🍀👌💯🤠 big up calvin, binca and all team. Love from launceston xx
@@Brad8261 ahh cheers man 👌 so gutted I couldn't go up and meet calv and pick up the s3 but still awesome winning the prize its gone a long way, I big up the channel and planet of dreams, up most respect to calv and what he does, never thought id win a car i just entered because some lad from newquay near me won a s5 for 39.99 and I thought I need to get in on this 🤣 literally the next month I got a call saying I'd won 😳🥳 x
😂😂 got to be in it to win it bro 💯 glad you managed to get your r32…… amazing cars 👌🏻 and money in the daughters account is always a good result. Stay blessed bro, enjoy life 💪🏻
@@CalvinsCarDiary dont thank me calv honestly, its the least I can do i got back from the holiday on the friday as you no and just hearing your voice and telling me the news made my day! I am still gutted i couldnt come up to collect the car but im so thankful for the prize man honestly, what you and your team do to be able to give away prizes like that is inspiring! I will continue to be a subscriber and support your channels to show my support and because you never know what life holds luck wise, but as for entering, I would recommend becoming a dream catcher to anyone, if I didn't become one when I did I wouldn't have the r32 sat on the drive 😎 just a shame I never got to meet you man thats what haunts me, maybe when I wana sell it you could do a lil private sale 😉
You know what Cal, I was thinking the other day why I have been so addicted to your videos recently. And I realize it is because I love seeing you run your business. The site development, money and cars obviously, is so entertaining. Brilliant stuff mate.
Probably one of the most down to earth guys and genuinely takes the time out his day to also respond to his subscribers, one of a few real ones, good luck with your business mate hope it goes far beyond your imaginations. Time to take it to another level 💯
Had the facelift A45 and loved every second of it until I was smashed into head on (not too far from old BINCA) and it was written off! Whoever wins it will enjoy it.
"Not feeling so good in your Clio" 😂 i get that feeling everyday driving around in my old i30, but it's ok as hopefully I'll be winning that A45 on friday 🤞😃
Comparable to S3 and Golf R? Sir they wish they could compare, A45 has always been the full package, interior, exterior and performance, only competitor is the RS3
never had a problem with the gearbox, however i bought one similar age 2 years ago and two weeks after purchase the rear diff went (at 40,000 miles) also its running 430hp stage 1.5 - which is a tune and an airfilter.
Well done Calvin love the attitude ,when one door closes another opens and the new place looks brilliant even though it’s work in progress, smashing the content keep up the good work ..
I really like these car videos Calvin, it's as if I am sitting in the car with you directly talking to me. Nice job on the car, you could easily sell this but as ever, it's going to make someone really happy. Big up man!
Calvin on your trip down memory lane you forgot about the time you thought you where going to crash when the car nearly pulled out in front of you. I think he was leaving a golf club ? Can you remember ?
A45 for drift mode, 4wd and looks best M135i for tuneability & affordability Golf R would be the one I'd be most comfortable in as I have an Ed30 with 300hp and that is plenty of power for UK roads. If I lived near the Autobahn then A45 for sure 😂
Love all your content mate but I would like to see more vids of you buying cars and selling them and all the bits in the middle, it’s great seeing cars you are giving away on POD but I would like to see more sales 👍🏼
Glad calvin agrees on the build quality, but I wouldn't just go as far as "interior" the modern era of Mercedes are not Mercedes any more, comparable to renault, infact that's too kind, maybe dacia. 😅.
I have a 2014 mercedes a180 cdi automatic and sometimes when i drive an error message will show saying reverse not possible consult to workshop. After that the car will only drive in gear 2,4,6 but after i turn it off and back on its back to normal. Anyone know what the issue could be I’ve taken it to a few places and they couldn’t find the problem
I think when the cars cold it engages the power slower as a preventative measure in order to not overrev or put to much pressure on the engine while it’s not warm yet.. or it just performs better with a warmer engine like any other car, just an idea
Does anyone own one of these? I've been looking but heard they need a service every year and was wondering how much the servicing costs and stuff are. I had an m140 and the price of the servicing was daft despite the lack of miles I ever done.
Yes, too much for the miles I do (4000 p/y). Around £300 for “A” service, £650 for “B” service that normally includes gearbox or rear diff service, and that’s at an independent! Let alone main dealer.
Isn't annual service the norm these days? VAG have the option for long life intervals but I'm not convinced they are good for the car in the long run, just a way of keeping costs down on a PCP and let the next buyer pick up the problems out of warranty. For the performance they offer the service costs aren't too crazy at an independent as smithy647 said, MB wanted £120 per month for a service pack though. In comparison Ford wanted £450 for a B service on a Mk8 Fiesta ST, just for oil, filter, cabin filter and 3 plugs - no rear diff or gearbox oil change involved in that, even the A service oil and filter is £270.
My ultimate dream is to be a car seller but I’m wondering how you start off and get cars for there trade prices could you do a video on that I understand if not because you don’t want other people taking your profits 😂
Love your video Calvin I watch every video legend off guy giving car away on planet dreams to people how loved to own nice cars like the a45 legend off a guy
Calvin why don't you employ someone to do draggy times so your viewers still get content like top gear I'd love to do it as a car fanatic and enthusiast like yourself I trade cars
That's the problem today people see a nice car and drive like a complete idiot and try to race, the moral of story is life is to important to die over a stupid race and just imagine how much after affects on your family when they have to tell your love ones that you are DIED and not forgetting the other people's family as well. Enjoy your life like Calvin said...
And I would choose a C63 (at least before 2022) over a 4-Banger Popcorn Maschine a Quadrillion Times....thats no AMG🩶 BUT still its a great Car and I'm really Happy for you...I, for myself, prepare "older" Benz's
No race Where are your challengers ?????? I have proof I am the big boss the director the generaal manager but olso the administrator the cleaner ........I have a stripbook store.😂😂😂😂

Hairs on point Calvin good to see a draggy run after all this time good to see ur smashing it man excellent content as usual too notch💪👊
You would be wicked on top gear 😎🤙🏼
Thanks mate, I’d love a shot at it 🚀
After the original trio, I actually stopped watching top gear. But this guy would make me a believer again

Nice video. I like to see these type of cars "budget performance" getting them prepped and showing the improvements. Keep going Calv 💪🏼
Well done Calvin love the attitude ,when one door closes another opens and the new place looks brilliant even though it’s work in progress, smashing the content keep up the good work ..
Brilliant content Calv, your pumping out videos recently and it’s so good to see, keep smashing it!
Absolute beast of a car
The past couple of months the content has been class
I really like these car videos Calvin, it's as if I am sitting in the car with you directly talking to me. Nice job on the car, you could easily sell this but as ever, it's going to make someone really happy. Big up man!
Love the AMG so much! I own one myself and have it tuned to 450bhp. This is an absolute care mate, love the videos
They’re so bloody quick. Such a great full package 🔥
Awesome content just what we needed
Pedal boxes can help with that gear delay / engagement
Calvin loves this car so much i wouldn't be surprised if he entered the competition himself 😂
Just back from Miami and seen a V10 Audi R8 accelerate.....What a flyer.
Loving the new content Calv, but a trip down memory lane once in a while is a treat 🤣
Lol no probs mate I’ll make sure we do it every now and then 😂👌
GREAT video nice to see how surprised you were with the times
Great video. Your personality and energy is why everyone comes back. You should do a Q&A for your 250k subs
“It’s a nice day. Don’t hurt yourself, yeah?” 😂😅
Calvin on your trip down memory lane you forgot about the time you thought you where going to crash when the car nearly pulled out in front of you. I think he was leaving a golf club ? Can you remember ?
Yea lol I’ll never forget that day! 😂
That was down another road on the other side of the village. Well remembered though mate
What brakes pads and brake disk do u use?
Why not start the timed in launch control??
Brill video and great to see the old stomping ground video car test 👍😁
The AMG 45 is my best mates dream car I’ve entered and if I win it I want to gift it to him 🤞🏻 awesome car bro
Good to see you having some fun in it before it gos to the winner sounds evil looks smart all the best
This
M135i
Golf R
Which do you prefer?
M135i for the way they drive.
Golf R is probably the most modern.
A45 is the most aggressive looking.
A45 for drift mode, 4wd and looks best
M135i for tuneability & affordability
Golf R would be the one I'd be most comfortable in as I have an Ed30 with 300hp and that is plenty of power for UK roads.
If I lived near the Autobahn then A45 for sure 😂
I have a stage 2 A45 mostly standard running 437BHP tuned by MSL, so stage 3 should be making atleast 480?
Always enjoy the channel great content well done 👍👍
Another great video buddy 🔥
I love this car I was torn between it and my m135i and went with the latter top video as always big up Calvin
is this engine the m139?
Lovely car Calvin and another great video 👍
Love all your content mate but I would like to see more vids of you buying cars and selling them and all the bits in the middle, it’s great seeing cars you are giving away on POD but I would like to see more sales 👍🏼
A45 has a power distribution of 35 65 Or 60 40?
I set fastest lap time twice on timeattack events, idk what is better 50 50 or 35 65 for racing 😅
I’ve just done a 3.89 in my stage 1 mk7.5 golf r
Crazy speeds! What app is that out of curiosity ?
Good work buddy 👍 looks sweet
Top Bananna that Calvin awesome speed.
Glad calvin agrees on the build quality, but I wouldn't just go as far as "interior" the modern era of Mercedes are not Mercedes any more, comparable to renault, infact that's too kind, maybe dacia. 😅.
Love this channel calv followed from 500 subz 👌🏻👌🏻
Thanks mate 🙏🏼
You bringing this to the UK? Or you going to sell it out there
Lovely jubbly Calvin 👍🏻
Love watching your video bro
U need to do launch control bro
😂 much rather have a c63 v8, v4turbo😂
Here a question, why am I now unable to log in to planet of dreams website? Even reset password and it just takes me back to the log in page?
I have a 2014 mercedes a180 cdi automatic and sometimes when i drive an error message will show saying reverse not possible consult to workshop. After that the car will only drive in gear 2,4,6 but after i turn it off and back on its back to normal.
Anyone know what the issue could be I’ve taken it to a few places and they couldn’t find the problem
I think when the cars cold it engages the power slower as a preventative measure in order to not overrev or put to much pressure on the engine while it’s not warm yet.. or it just performs better with a warmer engine like any other car, just an idea
The power fogures youre quoting are wrong mate stage 2 os 440 bhp stage 3 is 460-500bhp
Nice car but that gearbox issue would always be in the back of my mind lol
sub 4 is impressive! Calvin do you prefer Golf R or A45?
Golf R personally. Only because of the size though, A45 is quite small. Golf R’s are good size 👌
Love the videos
Nice 👌 im impressed 😮
Amazing entrance 🎉
Stunning cars 🔥🔥🔥

Love Mercedes
Them sounds
Is it the one to replace me 2005 astra turbo tho I'd be sad to get rid of me old 270bhp girl 😢😂😂😂😂
Love your video Calvin I watch every video legend off guy giving car away on planet dreams to people how loved to own nice cars like the a45 legend off a guy
I support the channel, but if it was my clio I would try my hardest... 😂
Calvin why don't you employ someone to do draggy times so your viewers still get content like top gear I'd love to do it as a car fanatic and enthusiast like yourself I trade cars
great vid cal my got hope I win that car its a missile looks great too
Race nice
Sounds nasty 😎👌🏼
wow love it finger crossed one day might win a good car lol
but it doesn't have a v8 and sounds like my grandma farting ooOOps
If the Clio driver reads these comments, have a word with yourself
Epic car!! Want.
Canny wait to pick this up 😂
rather RS3
Nice car
That's the problem today people see a nice car and drive like a complete idiot and try to race, the moral of story is life is to important to die over a stupid race and just imagine how much after affects on your family when they have to tell your love ones that you are DIED and not forgetting the other people's family as well. Enjoy your life like Calvin said...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nice car but Renault inside
The A-class is a kid’s car! Mod it as much as you like but it’ll still be a chumpmobile!
Not bad for a Renault Mégane engine 😂
Not an renault engine, Its made from hand from AMG.
Think you’re getting mixed up with the diesel mate
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🚘
😂😂😂
1st comment
First ...hahaha
you talk too much words mate
Your car cost you 3 times a used c63🤣🤣
He said the car owes him £14-15k when a used c63 starts at about £15k for a pre facelift, not sure if you misheard him?
Come to dadda! 🫣
first
