The new boy

[Harrisongs]

Hello
My names Steven. Just bough my first Mercedes. It's only a baby one, 97 c200 sport. So far I'm loving it. I've gone from an mg zt so it's a big leap. Especially in build quality. Loving it so far but I am worried I'm gonna crash soon as I can't stop looking at the ****** badge as I'm driving along lol

Hi,

Welcome to the forum! Yes it's nice to have a "sight" to aim with

Assume it's a bonnet star, use it like a gunsight to aim yourself down the road.... (or pretend that it is a gunsight while you mentally mow down the proles )

Know the feeling, when I had my first one I remember it did not matter where you looked you could see a badge and it made you smileeeeee !

Hello and welcome, none of my cars have a gun sight.

 

[Craiglxviii]

Nor mine, but I'd happily fit some machine guns a la Aston Martin DB5! They'd come in handy on the A34 in rush hour!!!

Welcome to the forum. I'm a big big fan of the 202. I've had 4 of them and still own 2. Vastly under rated by some but get a good one, look after it and it will last. Lots of helpful advice on here.

Ilove my star too. 6 months now and loving it

Another 202 fan here. Had 2 of them (both C240s) and now have an SL - but disappointingly the SL has no gunsight.... I really miss that smug feeling peering down the bonnet and seeing it there...
