Hello. Just ordered my first Mercedes.

[John Laidlaw]

Good call. I picked up my new E63S yesterday and spotted an imperfection on the bonnet (it’s selenite grey magno colour). I’m having a detail done at the end of the week anyway so can live with it as you can hardly see it (OCD is my middle name). Additionally I don’t want to wait another 9 months (actually, waiting for the car to arrive was just like having a baby!)

Stunning....let’s see it in May.....

Yeah if it’s 19th I can make it

 

[E63S]

Scratch my previous post. It’s currently undergoing further QC checks in Zeebrugge. ETA unknown. Unbelievable.

you would think painting a car in modern times would 99% perfect everytime but apparently not

 

[John Laidlaw]

Potentially had a paint scuff in transit ? Won’t be the first I guess - hope it all gets over the line for you....

Enjoy the wait will soon be forgotten,

 

[John Laidlaw]

And.......breathe! Live it!

It is forgotten already. It had really spoiled the excitement, as it was supposed to be here in March, but as soon as I saw it today I couldn’t wait to get behind the wheel. Even at 4500 rpm it’s still jolly good fun.

I’ll take some more pics tomorrow. Bit too tired tonight, as I drove from Oxfordshire to Grimsby at 5am on 1 hours sleep, then drove in to control London to a meeting, then back to Ox. ZzzZ

Feel free to let me know what you want to see.

Lovely car. Well worth the wait.
Congrats

Let's hope it's still there then buddy !

Hope so! I’ve pressed the keys twice and put them in a faraday pouch on the other side of the house. I don’t think we have too much riffraff around here, but you can never be too careful.

Cough! Ghost....

Wow , that is one nice looking piece of machinery . I've just cut my hand with a dagger to form a blood oath that I'm the next owner

Thanks. I am really pleased with the colour. I changed my mind several times, but think I made the correct choice.

Now I just need to get 1000 miles out the way, so I can change the C to a S+ or chequered flag.
