Hard to see what it looks like from that shot, I am a bit clueless about all the different models so look forward to seeing some more pics :D:D:D

You have a good memory Blobcat, thats right he did :D

Yes, I remember that too. They certainly have a presence on the road. Funnily enough saw a CL500 216 in Newbury today. Lovely. Never liked the 215 version as I think the C pillar doesn't look quite right in relation to the rear screen. Personal opinion though, as many like them

Were you not tempted by a cabrio version?

Not one familiar with all the models but thought there was one.

That is too new for me, and I could not afford it, we are enjoying the silence even this one is double glazed.

No chance to post much yet as I am still playing :D:D

How much more rewarding when you clean it if it looks dirtier than it is. My current car is dark grey and I know when it is dirty because I clean it , granted it still looks clean but I know that it's not and I do find that after an hour of washing it only looks slightly better than it was before! My wifes car is black and I don't find that it looks especially dirty and she does many more miles between washes than I do. Suffice to say I have just ordered an Obsidian Black C220 so I'll let you know if it's a nightmare. I suspect not though and it WILL look fabulous when shiny and just cleaned, far better than my current grey one.
