Sl500amgsport. Forums wouldnt be forums without a bit of friendly banter. Hence little winking emoji.

Everybody has their own taste.

Hi AJD.

Good evening "the director". I was going to go for silver.....but just thought it looked terribly boring. So went for white....its a little less "old man". Dont you agree.

Know what you mean about silver but, I’d have said that white was more “old man” than any other colour. Not me that’s driving them though so, enjoy your new rides.

Interesting fact, up until the 1960s in UK most production cars were only available in either black or white, for this reason my father (who remembers this) would not buy a black or white car "as it makes them appear old fashioned)"!

Funny how things change from generation to generation...

And despite what people say it doesn't shoe the dirt, not like my Obsidian black anyway

Agreed- my Obsidians have been awful to keep clean Andy, I really don’t know what possessed me to get another but hey. As for white I happen to know a member on here who has a 213 E63s 4 matic white, hardly old man territory!
And for the Op - yours both look great!

Our 2012 SLK AMG Line was white and our 2013 C220 AMG Line was white too. Its not a particularly imaginative selection tbh.

Just found the Sports ecu setting today. Makes it much more responsive drive......

I left him a cheap hooker, a £50 note and a viagra......

 

[nicholas15]

out of my league. Do you think he would he settle for a well thumbed copy of the Beano?

 

[2mercs]

If he accepts an out of date mince pie and a bit of nasty sherry......then a beano should get you several services? Lol

Everyone needs a Mercedes convertible of some type....

Well in my defence I do have a 5.0 TVR Chimaera in the garage...... Just can't take the baby out in that so was hoping a four seater........ Sadly I think the wife is wanting to spend rather more on a new house than I would like, that'll kill my convertible budget....

 

[2mercs]

Hello Jasandjules.

Houses do ruin car budget.....

To be fair though a TVR is a nice toy though. My friend has a Cerbera 4.5AJP. Rocket.....!!!!!!

Fair point.

I would rather have an SL63 than a Cerbera 4.5 AJP. Different price tag though.

But then again id prefer a Sagaris over both.

Followed by a black BMW M4 yesterday. That looked good too.

Now that IS a garage queen..!! Had experience of one of those, not personally though thank god

 

[2mercs]

I dont think i could buy a car like that now. I just wouldnt use it. It would be more sat there doing nothing. The wife couldnt drive it because it has a clutch like kicking a medicine ball and shes 5'5 and couldnt see over the dash.
Tbh......she couldnt open the door.......

SL63 would outperform an M4 and much rarer too..
