Hi, my name is Stephen and I'm from Co Wicklow in Ireland.
A lot of people have said I was mad to buy a 5L v8. I may regret it at some stage, hence the title, but for now I'm absolutely loving it!
I had the urge to be the owner of a CL500 after watching numerous online video's of the CL taking off with ridiculous straight/catback exhaust systems. The closest thing I'll get to a super-car at the ripe age of 23. The car isn't used for work commutes, only the evenings and weekends so running costs didn't cross my mind!
The car isn't running 100% but for the price it was still a steal.
It's going into the garage at the end of the month for a service, after which, catback will be fabricated. I'm now on the look out for a nice set of alloys.
Upgraded air intake will follow shortly after that and then a remap.
Grand spec as standard for the year.
-Sunroof
-Cruise Control
-Full electric seats
-Heated Leather Seats
-Auto Lights


Anyway, here are a few pictures. The car may be washed tomorrow depending on calaber of hangover.

So Stephen, 23 in Wicklow...the road tax and insurance must have cost more than the car??

I tried to open the pictures of your CL500, but unable to do so. Maybe you might put some up online again. I have a 2002 CL500.
