Just bought a Merc

Two sorts of people buy Mercedes. Middling old farts who play golf in Spain, and Asians.

That's why Merc make the boring stuff (for old farts) and the hugely expensive AMG stuff (for the well heeled Asians, 'innit?)

Actally, my business partner reckons it's a porn king car.

Now then, must find some chrome spinning wheel covers and get the front wings monogrammed.

Nah. Porn kings have large willies so buy small cars or go by train.

Seriously though I really don't understand why anyone buys the massively expensive German brands when you can have disposable, fun cars for next to nothing like the MPS.

Good stuff. Ideally a Range Rover should be inherited, not bought, but if you do buy one, make sure it's second hand and a bit smelly.
