Afternoon all
After a few years away from MB I'm back, and a fair bit of water has flowed under the bridge since then!
I sold my E55
and bought a XK Love the noise that made and boy it was a looker! ( I did have a C200 as a run around whilst I had this so was still in a MB I guess)
then after setting up my own business I traded that for a XFs needed the fuel economy Nice cat but a bit flimsy
which I sold back to Jaguar as at the time I needed the money out of cars for the business. I managed to pick up a bargain Audi A8 sport D. upon which I hammered a stack of miles in just under two years sold with 96K on the clock and still driving well without a rattle. Cracking car totally over engineered in every way and fitted with just about every extra you could imagine.
This week I bought an E350 CDI Sport Coupe! My mileage has dropped now and my eldest is now driving his own chariot so I fancied something smaller sportier. Despite the oil burner under the bonnet it goes well and reminds me of my E55 which is still the best car I have ever owned.
I picked this one up from MB retail with 20K on the clock and in very good nick with a nice spec as I love my toys. It has Command, Full Seat Memory pack , Upgraded leather, Rear Blind and Harmon Kardon in addition to the normal sport kit. And I must say it's nice to be back in a Mercedes as I just fit they fit me well During this period I have also managed to acquire a 96 XJ 4 litre Sport Jaguar from my Dad who has given up driving. I swapped the Westfield for a classic Triumph Stag which I am slowly restoring I do like the sound of a V8 in the family!! And I am also part way thropugh the restoration of a Classic Mini which also occupies the garage at the moment and should be finished this summer! All in all its been a busy few years. Glad to see some folks are still on here from when I was here before Always was a great forum.
Cheers Glyn
