Well after a mere 7 years and 3 very lovely MB's, my ownership is coming to an end. The CLS400 'Malcolm spec' is being returned next week to be replaced by a British built car (afraid it's a Brexit thing), I'm taking delivery of a new RRS Autobiography this morning.
I think I have covered around 180,000 trouble free miles, no breakdowns and no bad back - the cars have come damned close to the Volvo for seat comfort and the driving experience has been great.
I'll miss this forum, despite being a occasional / sporadic visitor, the selfless help and advice always offered sets it apart. I'm saddened that M is no longer here and feel almost ashamed that I missed learning of his passing until so recently.
Given I won't be needing the MB accessories any more, should anybody want any of the following for their personal use, please let me know and I'll gladly pass them on in return for a small donation to a charity of your choice (no limit, just do something small and meaningful). I travel the country so can maybe drop off to you or you are welcome to collect from My house in the North West.
* 4 x 18" AMG type alloys with Vredistein winter tyres. CLS size and spec. They have been amazing and from memory have 6-8mm on the tread.
* set of Mercedes roof bars for a CLS. I think they fit both the current and pre facelift vehicle. Pretty neat- from memory I've used them once so what a waste that was!
* black AMG floor mats for CLS. My car is going back with the new ones that I popped into the loft when it arrived. If anyone is short of a set of black ones, they are used but in pretty good nick..
So anyway- thanks for the help and friendship along the way, perhaps I'll be back again in future.
All the best to MB club members.
