I've recently bought myself a 997 for weekends, euro road trips & occasional track days - I think I bought the cheapest one in the country (at the time) so it's very much a work in progress situation. Always wanted one :cool:

Absolutely squire - no problems assuming I get to BOTG this year

Forgot to mention it has the revised blue-ish timing chain fitted & the JCR plate will be removed & I assume it will revert back to BW12 CBX

Thanks, having watched that I've now listed my E63 for sale on the forum & will check down the back of the sofa tonight in the hope I find the money to buy a W213 E63s :) :) - may even consider a saloon...

Decided to post my long term E63 estate up for sale. I've owned this car for over 5 years & it's been epic but I fancy a change.. 2012 E63 5.5ltr Biturbo Estate in Cobalt White. 121,500 miles - will rise as it's my daily drive. FSH - main dealer until 48,000 then independent (Star-Tech in...

I have to agree, living 12 miles from the nearest town with fantastic local A & B roads rarely policed I certainly get the chance to drive my car properly, yes I rarely use all the power on tap but I of kind like having in "reserve" if needed. Sorry if this isn't PC but why have the cars if...

Thanks, I will definitely look into a Brooklands experience - like you I love my w212 & it's been 100% reliable & an epic car to own & drive for the past 5 years but I either need to get some cream or address the itch ASAP - if nothing else to stop Mrs Cooke tutting at me for spending hours...

maybe they've had it so long the leather has faded ;)

They’ve still got it…..

YES, 100% an estate - that grey one I posted last night is now £42k - they're getting closer..

Funny enough I was planning to speak to Project AMG about looking into a suspension refresh to sharpen up the handling & steering etc…. Knowing me I’ll do some mods & end up keeping until the W213 come down under £40k Cheapest one I can find is just shy of £43k

Yeah, I’ve been looking at these this evening - they’re sensibly priced and they have the 4.0 biturbo - just need to test one

Unfortunately, they’re still out of my price range - maybe in a year or so they’ll be affordable….considering moving away from Mercedes until the W213 are closer to my budget. Need to sell the car first so I’d better take some photos & get it listed on the forum..

Thanks Phil, not looking for a track car just something more dynamic so i'd better get out there & try some other cars...

Morning all, been here for a while now & have owned my fantastic E63 wagon for 5 years - i'm seriously thinking of changing it as i want something more driver focused & let's be honest, more dynamic as my daily driver - i love the car, it's a hoot but 99% of the time it's just little old me in...
