I'm 50 years young but have been driving a Mercedes since I was 44, before the Mercs I drove anything that would get me about... I've since learnt that as you get older certain things are worth paying that bit extra for :cool:

27, bought my first merc last week, an s class 320 from 2000.

I love it, I really look forward to driving it.

Previous cars were 2 Lexus GS 300s, one was great (Japanese import), one was horrid. A GS 300 sport which I still have as a second car, has a fantastic engine that's very loud. The worst car I had which I owned very briefly was a 1999 bmw 523. It was small, cramped, under powered,the steering was heavy and the throttle response was rubbish.

The s class is by far the best and most luxurious car I've owned. It's not as sporty as the GS300 but the power delivery on the s class feels so effortless.

Thinking of getting rid of the GS 300 and maybe adding an S430 instead

Just as I turned 20 I bought my 2001 CLK 320. Being a 3.2 v6 there a very few people that don't show surprise and proceed to ask how much my insurance is!

It's good fun asking people how much I paid for it too, guesses are almost always around triple the actual value :D

Just hit 40 too.... And for my midlife crisis new car gift, I plumped for a new 2013 SL 350 which I love and has sweetened the 40 pill somewhat...

First car was a 'slab-sided' (as they were known) Mark 1 Ford Consul - KDP 269Column gear change (3) and bench seat. I knew nothing about cars but went to night school for a Car Maintenance course. Within weeks, I had taken the head off, reground the valves (in front of the living room fire on a pale blue carpet!), put new shell bearings in the crank shaft and re-ringed the pistons with Hepolite Oilmaster rings.
That car was used daily for three years and went down to Cornwall from north Lancashire two years on the trot and the engine was still good when the body rotted away.
Today, I open the bonnet of the 320 CDi and it looks like a plumber's nightmare!!
