What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[John Laidlaw]

He will do if she starts sounding like my other half, she has just decided that the Ferrari California is the car for her using that half smile!

They are rather nice, just a bit slow....

That is the colour she saw in the garage apparently similar performance to the SL65 on paper using a V8 but the service costs not exactly ideal for retirement!

Polished windscreen inside & out. RainXed side windows and rear screen. You just have to do something on a sunny Sunday morning.

Nice cars no doubt but, just not my cup of tea, however, if we were discussing the vehicle in the background that would be a different matter. It just needs to be red to float my boat completely.

Hey Sub, how long have you been married sir?

And you still haven't learned the self (read wallet) preservation thing?

Yeah I slipped up there big time!
In fairness, I have to say she is exceptionally low maintenance!
Luckily she was born with an outrageously beautiful face and body (absolute Yougoslav Euro Babe), with probably the best glossy hair I have ever seen. So doesnt go to these expensive gyms, doesnt use make up, or these uber over-priced wonder cremes, or expensive hair treatments like her friends.
... but she does like shoes! But dont they all!

She’s completely unpretentious, and just doesnt care about cars, as long as they start!, she is quite happy tooteling along in the A Class... or was till she saw this parking gizmo.

So I got lulled into a false sense of complacancy lol!

But she does deserve a newer car, I just dont want to do it till we get the new house with a decent double garage.
I was thinking something like a 3 or 4 year old C Class Coupe ... We both think they are really pretty cars, and drive jolly well.

It's all part of her cunning plan!

Definitely looks as though you landed on your feet there sir, just don't let it go to your head, because these slip ups can be expensive, lol.

Today I mainly polished the trusty old A Class - think there are a few tiny rust spots which need attn this summer, and bits of touch up on the front bumper

 

[Brizzle]

A new set of boots all-round and 4-wheel alignment - not what I wanted to be doing this morning

Spent two hours fiddling with canbus to try to get the Cabriolet Module (German Smart Top) Malcolm gave me to work before deciding it's just not worth it.

 

[noonboots]

New discs and pads all round on the SL.
Cleaned up and painted the calipers while I was in there and also did some preventive work on the rear arches.

Looks absolutely lovely
I know its silly but rusty old calipers really spoil the overall look especially with open style = /> 19” wheels.

Totally agree. I'm currently waiting for my wheels to come back from refurb. I couldn't have stood looking at rusty discs and faded calipers behind the fresh finish on the wheels.

Was it not designed for your model?

Yes it was but it just doesn't want to play. To be honest I'm not all that bothered and was only doing it because it was there.

I actually love a Ferrari's in Yellow

I see R230 and SLK only which is why it did not come up in my search. Think the install is different to R231, with Smartop you get LEDs on the relay unit which show if the connections are correct so you can test it as you go..
