It's with a heavy heart that I have decided it's time to think seriously about letting my CLS63 SB go and to replace it with something a bit more down to earth for everyday use.
The car has been absolutely fantastic to own over the past 18months and has made me smile every single time I have got into it. We've had some great adventures together on fantastic road trips throughout the UK and overseas, ripped up the runaway at VMAX on numerous occasions and blasted around the TopGear test track with four people on board and frightening the life out of Ferraris and Lambos in the process
Best of all the car has enabled me to meet some terrific people - I've had work done on the car by the guys at MSL, Rebellion and Eurocharged all of whom I have the highest regard for and any of whom I would recommend. Commercial relationships aside together we've also met some fantastic people all with a common interest in all things petrol powered and specifically AMG - Justin, Bruno, Don, Chris, Lee, John and most recently Peter to name but a few.
The process has begun and on Saturday the lovely sounding Rado downpipes are off to a new home in the shape of Peter's very handsome E63 wagon. Whilst I'll be sad at the least the neighbours will be happier I'm going to hold on to her for a couple of months but the search for a replacement has begun in earnest and I'm going to be semi-sensible. I'm lucky enough to have my Aston for weekend use, I have a little share in the AMG GTS which arrives in October and Mrs RSK's motor does the practical duties and so want something fun and engaging for everyday use which consists of not much more than driving to either the station or the airport. Current favourite is a Mini Cooper JCW but am also considering an Audi S1 and have this morning asked my dealer to price a revised A45. I convinced myself I wasn't going to go down this last route and then I saw Acid's new A45 thread !! I wonder where I'll end up .........
