Hello Everyone,

I looked for a new member thread to introduce myself and couldn’t find one.

I have recently bought a C220 CDi Coupe because I liked its looks and hatchback practicality. It’s my first MB and I’m enjoying the learning curve.

My job takes me all over and I love driving and have completed several advanced and skid courses. My hobbies are reading, computers and crosswords. Because of my interest in computers I discovered this forum and have been “reading the mail” for a while, and have been impressed at the help and advice so freely given. Once I’ve completed a few thousand miles in my C220 I’m sure I shall be back.

MM

Hello and welcome to the Forum. I am sure you will enjoy your new car - it is an excellent choice.

The most important advice for any Mercedes fan in Scotland is to keep an eye out for ST4 - once he gets you on his wavelength , there will be no escape!!

Hi & Welcome,

We don't have a new members thread as such most members either go straight into a technical question or post a "Hello" in the general section as you have done.

Welcome to the forum,
Curious about something, are you originally from South Africa?

Welcome to the forum, the C220 is a nice car, so hopefully, no problems and 100% enjoyment.

With the amount of new members that we take in,,it would be novel to have a section for them,,when the PM boxes were active, I got loads of new members asking this question

Hello again,

Thank you for making me feel welcome.

I was educated in South Africa hence the name Mercmeisie. Meisie = young girl.

The weather is lovely here in Scotland so I am off to Fort William and the Road to the Isles just for the pleasure of driving.

The best excuse possible, enjoy it.

Likewise, 10 years growing up in Springs (Edenvale) .... Maseru (Lesotho)!

Trouble is I cant remember who I am, so the likelyhood of me remembering Afrikaans or Sesotho is less than 0!!!!!

Enjoy the drive... just watch out for the Haggis.... apparently they come from England

Yarpie in Scotland !!-Hi and welcome to the forum - I will be up there myself shortly (for golf)--we always stay in the Meadows -Crieff for the golfing as its central for that-and Perthshire is so nice -will venture up to Taymouth castle and Killin too --I also love the solitude of the highlands and the west coast once youre past Fort William -usually stay in Portrree and climb the Cuillins- but not been much lately since old age has been kicking in .

Hello again,

Thanks for your welcome comments, sorry I haven’t any technical questions yet so I will tell you a bit about yesterday. I managed to burn off a full tank of fuel via Fort William to Mallaig and back, really enjoyed the drive with the sun roof and windows open, not so many tourists so could put foot - bliss! Didn’t see the Jacobite steam train, which was a disappointment.

Off now on my hols so will stop going on about girly things and think of serious things, like where can I find a dishy mega rich banker?

You could try the "Wanted" posts ?
I wonder- Do they still run the ferry from Mallaig to Skye?
