What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[Rotorhead500]

In a....?

In a..... Hoon-Dye!

It really was a surprise, despite all the positive press. I'd say the interior was on a par with current Fords (perhaps not quite the new Fiesta), felt solid. Hugely entertaining.

One of those cars that just puts a smile on your face within a few seconds.

And although not my first choice colour, it has been ceramic coated already!

Don’t forget the 7 year warranty. Kia-Hyundai are ones to watch.

Only 5 on the Hoon-Dyes, but still pretty good. Includes AA uber breakdown thingy too apparently.

Trying to line up test drives on Sunday for new Fiesta ST and a Leon Cupra 300.

Got the 190 out of the garage this morning after "reconditioning" the battery. 16 hours on the charger.

Fuelled it up and was pleasantly surprised that it's averaged 29mpg in the last 340 miles from the last fuel up back in early May. This includes a lot of shunting and messing about, though was probably helped by a good 200+ mile motorway trip.

I've now thrown a case in the back of it and we're off to N Wales in the next half hour or so. A leisurely trip hopefully though that's traffic dependent I suppose. Just hoping that all the rest of my area haven't got the same idea.

Leon 300 would be my choice out of those. And I’d take it to Revo.

Don't worry... if I go Cupra 300 route, it will be Revo'd.

It'll have to go some to beat the Hoon though...

Mercedes ME Adapter fitted this morning, all working

Forgot to ask when I was at the dealer .

Is it any good with the W204? Just need to know if it's worth me chasing them.

 

[AnthonyUK]

I had the rear liners and sill covers off the S203 to see how bad it was underneath.
It wasn’t too bad. This was the worst of it.

All done for now.

 

[Uncle Benz]

Ordered a pair of tyres for the C63. Managed 2600 miles from the last pair. Nothing has changed in that department from AMG

 

[bembo449]

so roughly how many smiles per mile pal ??

 

[Capra]

Just cleaned inside and out.

Ooo, quite a few! About 1500 in the Scottish highlands, on some quite abrasive road surfaces

Blimey, my rears have done 26,000 miles with about 4mm left !!

 

[bembo449]

wow , that's rather remarkable on a car with that sort of power

 

[LostKiwi]

Washed, SRPed and waxed the 129.
Then took it out for a drive and a damned pigeon shat on it!

I blame my stepfather. He has a heavy right foot for a seventy year old !!

Very strange ...my P Zeros are still ‘ok’ after 6k miles ( at least, not sure how much many miles they’d done before I got the car)...in fairness the other 6k I’ve done during my 16 month ownership is in winters)
