I know that feeling. The answer is obviously to move somewhere with more room!

Or swap the SL500 for an SL55

I've been on Autotrader and know what i don't want but not exactly what i do want. I know i don't want a "modern" AMG and have been looking at C55's and CLK55/63's but true to form both are rare cars on the for sale sites.

You will need a search term for both of them and to keep an eye out. They do come up but you will have to wait a few months.

We are thinking of moving and I have seen a few nice houses with 3 car garages.

No way! I don't want another ABC/SBC potential headache. :confused:

I might surprise my wife and replace her Corsa with an AMG! :shock:

So that leaves you with only a CLK55/C55 as you say. Has to be post 04 or may have hidden rust issues.

I suppose i could always sell the Audi but performance wise i wouldn't be gaining much if at all and i would lose all the bells and whistles.

Yes you would have to go with something supercharged, which leaves you SBC, ABC or AIRMATIC.

Or a CLK63 which would be my preference.

Sorry for butting in ,,, I looked at a w211 E320 , 07 model and on start up screen it comes up with AMG logo ,
It’s a avantgarde sport , fully loaded. Is this amg logo right or has someone uploaded it to appear
When switched on.
Thanks

There was a ‘secret menu’ to change from MB Logo on start up to AMG which was already embedded on some older models, guess this was one of the models
