Nice drive home in our V class, 190 miles along the south coast
Fairly quiet roads, don’t think we stopped for traffic once.
Pleasant change from the normal journey

Was that price a special promotion ?

They did the same thing last year too. It applies to Mercs over 8 yrs old. I don't know if it's a national offer or a local thing. Brilliant idea because it keeps us in touch with the brand. MBS Southampton serviced the car only a couple of weeks ago, but I'm happy for a Merc technician to look it over too.

I don't suppose you have any more photos of your car, not seen many sl's in white. Looks amazing.

Thanks. I have some - not sure where I'd post them without boring too many people.....I have a boot lip spoiler that I will install as soon at it is a bit warmer. Plan on doing some before/after shots when I do the job and can legitimately publish them in this thread.

I've got the Meguiar's version - used it a couple of times, and quite impressed with it so far.

I've been using (3 years now) Carlack 68 and Carlack Longlife (nano synthetic sealant) and have been impressed with how well it lasts but always felt that the gloss wasn't there and it did not seem any good at reducing how much dirt clings. I'll do a second coat of TW today (needed 24 hours curing) as TW say this gives 12 months protection. Given how little is used, the bottle will last 10 years. I have a shelf full of different products - I do like trying stuff out.(3 are empty (rear left - just keepig them for decanting other products into).

Took the 230 out for a run to the supermarket as it's impossible to get a delivery slot for online shopping.
Was pleasantly surprised the local Waitrose had less than 20 people in it (including staff) and aside from the usual suspects there was a reasonable amount of stock on the shelves.
It was nice to get the 230 out roof down . Superb day for it.

Not too many like white cars as much as I do. :) WOuld be a one post thread.......:confused:

I like white cars but it does depend on the type of car. I am about to upgrade to a W205 but they do not look good in white :)

Took it for a drive, the first time in over two weeks as we have been away. Given the bad publicity about beaches etc over the weekend, we decided to avoid the coast and had a very nice, and totally socially isolated, walk in the New Forest. The roads were pleasant with noticeably less traffic than usual.

I also got it washed on the way home, the first time in weeks (or perhaps months :oops:). It hadn’t been done for a while because of all the wet and miserable we have had this year.

On the way home, a Live Traffic report was announced by SatNag with details of delays on the M27. She mentioned the “Cubic Meters Junction” and it took a while to work out she meant the “M3 Junction”! Ten minutes later we got there and the traffic was free flowing!

I don't see the problem with beaches Steve, ours are quite quiet and at least it is 'fresh, clean' air :)

It’s been more of an issue on the South Coast, Andy, with significant overcrowding at the weekend. We might try a coastal walk tomorrow depending on any further restrictions that Boris announces this evening.

Started my list of pointless jobs to pass the time for 12 weeks . Changed the hydraulic oil reservoir for the CLK folding roof .
It’s in the boot space , about 200ml ? I bourght a Litre of the oil last year , this is the 3rd change now . There is maybe one change left to have used up the bottle .
Dark oil out , clean oil in what’s not to like :D
