Nice little top down drive down the coast this morning, quite warm for the time of year and nice to be out

Just wondered John, who was number 1? DC's my favourite Bond.
It was just a wind up really Jim, I do like him- between him and Pierce Brosnan so far...
Seems like the fella from ‘bodyguard’ on BBC recently is down to be the next one

Got a quote of £100.20 off Dronsfields for a second hand unit, need the part number really as there are different ones

£99 for a new one (aftermarket) off ECP
Aaaagh. I feel your pain. I recently tagged my rear light unit taking some wood out of the boot. Put a hairline crack in the lense; no water ingress or anything like that but I am OCD. I just bought one off EBay - perfect clean, unmarked, looks like new - for 80 quid delivered (offer made and accepted :) ) so keeping that handy for a time in the future when I feel the need to change it round.

Let's have some details buddy
Oh go on - I thought you would never ask! ;)

GLC 43 AMG. Scary performance - it was wet and there was a lot of traffic today (and I had SWMBO and a lady sales person with me) so I had to behave but it was very responsive with only a gentle throttle. Likely to go for Premium Plus, proper leather, ILS and a few other bits but it is generally very well specked especially compared to the Porsche Macan I have also tried. Will be a new factory order so not before January/February. I couldn't wait around for them to do some figures but I know what their Car Wow offer is so we'll start with that.

Probably going to do mine middle of next month, still going over 10' regularly and we all know they melt at 10.5'...:rolleyes:

Exactly they disintegrate in a horrible black sticky heap don’t they?
Yeah I think I’m the middle of next month too looking at my diary...:)

It does depend a little on how far and how fast you press the right pedal...

Drove it 113 miles, which doesn't happen often.
It was rather enjoyable, despite A14 cr@pworks ...

I know it's only a small car, but it's a nice place to be in, nonetheless :)
