Been looking through the forum for a while and have always owned a mercedes of some description (normally the larger ones) I must be on my 9th or 10th S-Class!

Here's a picture of my overcrowded drive:

I will have to figure out how to get pictures on here properly, is there a recommended site to do this through?

Photobucket is one, there are others and then just post the direct link.
They are all free to use :D

Set your album to private and then just paste the IMG tag of the image you want to share into your post.

Ok, I'll try the photos again, this time without showing any car logbooks etc!







I haven't set the album to private but have only put car pictures in there so feel free to have a look.

Yep it's the one thing I would spec/look for on my next one it is a bit scarey at first but awesome once your learn to trust it. It has the night vision as well but thats really only any good for impressing passengers I haven't really found it useful in any other way.

The distronic also removes the need for the parking sensors on the front and rear bumpers

The parking sensors on these car are behind the bumper, they are there but you cannot see them.

You should try driving on the night vision,,its soooo hard, it is useful in fog and tunnels;):D
