Went for a Nice Drive Today

[whitenemesis]

Gentle 147 mile round trip...

Outward journey I managed

Homeward Just This... Actually Not Bad at All

 

[turbopete]

nice! swapped the 270 for a 63 at the mid point?

 

[paul hayward]

what did you drive back in then Peter

 

[huey]

Have you got another car Peter?

 

[Cole@MBS]

Did you get the first one or the second one then Pete?????

 

[Cole@MBS]

Just looked at the clock again, you didn't go for the 320 then!!!!!!!!

Looks like a CLS dial, surround.

55k or 63 Peter?

Congrats on the new car, is the 270cdi sold or being kept.

 

[whitenemesis]

Bade the 270 a fond farewell and brought home a CLS55 AMG

That man Jay does a mean deal, just couldn't say no!

I saw this car for sale when I got mine. It was lovely. Superb car.

Is "The shed" still there?

Whats the handling like in the CLS compared to your modded ex C270cdi?

First one was well gone by the time I called.

Spotted the 55 and all the desire for a light interior vanished! I think the black suits it much better.

Can't say I noticed Steve, was a little distracted!

Handling is sweet. Very compliant and controlled. 3 levels of firmness, not that I detected that much difference TBH.

I have such happy memories of a CLS55.

Its probably the best car I've driven, and will remain the best car I will probably ever drive.

Well done.

There is, on bumpy roads sport two can be too firm and the car be deflected, comfort allows more flow along the road and actually better progress on our worse tarmac.

Gently does it for sure... I needed to exit a junction bit sharpish (you know it Steve, T junction with mini roundabout one side and a humpback bridge the other?) Oh My Good Lord!!!! All hell broke loose Tyres protesting, dash lights flashing.. My God it's quick

Car adjusts the firmness automatically depending on speed and road surface
