    Anyone want to swap C63 AMG Black 19" alloys for the standard 19" alloys?

    Hi All, Looks like I am taking delivery of a C63 AMG which has the optional 19" black painted alloy wheels, however I prefer the standard silver colour 19" alloys (as my car is black anyway). If anyone wants to swap their silver 19" alloys for a black 19" set let me know. My black set are...

    Hi All, Unfortunately the McLaren has not arrived yet due to delays at the factory, so I will be there in the CLK DTM and the GTO. I've just been to Silverstone in the GTO on another track day, so no time to wash it so excuse the dirty car!! If anyone wants a passenger ride in the DTM...

    Yes, that was his, but it was a brand new V12 Virage not a DBS - I thought it was a DBS too until I saw the badge on the back. He said it was two days old.

    Oh, and I forgot to add I spent 10 minutes talking to James Martin from Saturday Kitchen Live on BBC1, did any of you see him in the paddock in his Aston Martin? Really nice bloke and was very interested in the cars, although he said he reckoned he was safer off in the air in his helicopter...

    Firstly a big thank you to Ricky for organizing such a great day! What more could you ask for - great people, great cars, great weather and great food! :thumb: Had a whale of a time with the GTO on its first track day, even with the noise police meaning I had to lift off and coast at a number...

    Talking of slow cars, how about slow drivers... To apologise in advance, my father and his friend are coming and regardless of what car they will be driving they *will* be the slowest, so I'll say sorry now... just overtake them!! :o

    Looking forward to this now, only days to go now!! :bannana: Ricky mentioned to me that a 599 did not pass the noise test at goodwood recently, and the DTM was touch and go last time I was there as well :doh: I'm going to bring two reserve cars just incase I don't make it through the noise...

    Unfortunately McLaren are currently telling me my car will be ready on 15th August, two days after the trackday :doh: :( Wonder if the unions will let the McLaren boys do a bit of overtime between now and then!!!

    Help with a potential Purchase

    Hi Gareth, Some of the very first CL65's did come with the standard CL600 dash board, which is what that is. The later ones had the proper CL65 speedo's as per mine. As long as the VIN number's check out then you don't need to worry. Other than the dashboard there were no other changes...

    Help with a potential Purchase

    Well its got all the options then. Check under the bonnet to make sure it has the right engine. Very strange why they would sell the alloys :confused: Here are a few pics of my CL65 if it helps: Munson.me :: CL65 AMG

    Help with a potential Purchase

    I had a CL65 and it was a great car. At its time when it came out it was the most powerful production engine in the world, in terms of torque output. I had an issue with the turbo on one cylinder bank that after a number of trips to the dealer was fixed, during the meantime it was running on...

    Track use for a new C63

    As long as you dont over do it during the first 1000 miles and get the LSD oil changed at the 1000 mile mark you will be fine to take it on a track day after the first 1000 miles, and nothing else needs to be done by MB until the next service (1 year or 12k miles, depending when ASSIST tells you).

    Clarkson on UKplc
