Well yes i did say it was probably the cheapest. Have to say the paintwork and interior was immaculate, needs alloys refurbishing (but why bother) and has a number of toys. Bought as I was going cross country to work and wanted the 4x4 for winter. No likes an unreliable contractor. Or one that turns up in a better motor than the MD.

I thought every contractor had a Plan B

Milan.

Mine was to sell the parasites. Now that'll have to change given they're both over 16.

Yet you mention the MR2 Roadster

That car was a legend i drove it like i stole it... loved it to bits till I swapped it for my first SL

Merc CLS63 AMG. 5.5L Biturbo V8 with 557 BHP. Makes up for having such a tiny ****.

Awesome car, sh*t service from Merc. I wouldn't trust them to fix me a bath, let alone anything to do with my car....

MB dealer quality varies wildly. thankfully Bath is good. out of interest how do you find the Full AMG suspension on the roads?

What we all driving these days?

Audi Scandal A6 and a Kwak Z800 (the latter currently covered with several layers of garage dust).

Dunno about the latest model Audi A4 but the previous model was a shocker. Cheap non metal pedals, an indicator stalk that felt like it would break every time you used it, flimsy central buttons. Not at all a patch on the equivalent Merc or BMW

Manchester and Sheffield Merc dealers both crap.

Got the airmatic adjustable suspension so 3 modes, comfort, sport, and spine removal.

Comfort is spot on for when the old folks are in the car, soaks up the bumps. Sport is how I drive it most of the time and Sport + (spine removal) is for when it's really time to push it.

The most fun feature though is the "handling" mode on the traction control. Knocks it half off and lets you get the tail out without parking it in a hedge. Costing me a fecking fortune though, current set of rears has lasted just over 5000 miles and will need changing in the next 1000....

On the flip side, it's a joy getting up in the mornings knowing the fun you're going to have, and when the client asks what car you drive you just say a CLS which leaves them thinking it's a standard rep mobile
