After selling my E250 (Diesel) convertible and buying a Range Rover Sport, I’m now coming back into the Mercedes fold.

I’ve just bought an E63 AMG W212 - picking up Monday. It comforts me that there’s a huge source of (mostly) good information on here, and I’m glad to be back to this brand.

I met a bunch of you years ago at the Jamaican Inn - TV still here?

Mike

Welcome back Mike- I have an E63 212 and just love it....known as the Panzer!
Awesome machines
I don’t know if you have joined the Mercedes AMG Private lounge yet but if not it’s worth doing
There is a meeting at Mallory next Saturday with 59 AMGs of various flavours at the Speed Ministry there who are specialist tuners . 5 additional AMGs there from MB Coventry.....
Bit of a hike for you but thought I’d mention it ‘just in case’

Well that’s a crying shame - he was a mine of information.

Opinionated, feisty, sometimes cantankerous - but just a really good egg.

Amazing how many ex Range Rover owners on here, seems a well trodden ownership path!

When you’ve had something as unreliable as a Range Rover even the worst R230 with ABC and SBC is nothing in comparison
