I've just bought my first Merc, a 2006 R320 CDI.
I've always had VAG or BMW before so this is all new to me.
It has 20" alloys which seem to give it a bit of a bumpy ride on poor roads, is it worth changing them for something. Bit smaller?
I believe it shares a lot with the MLs of that era...
Few of us heading down to MSL on Wednesday the 8th just an opportunity for a catch up, probably a few Dyno runs and whatever Mods Acid has on special offer LOL.

Just a shameless plug for my Choir and Orchestra Concert this Sat, 18th May at Eton College School Hall at 19.30. Ideal for that short run out from town if your AMG or Skoda needs another few miles of running in, or for a long run from north of Birmingham to show off your lovely wheels in...

I quite like this for the money but would prefer a SEL to be honest, still it's BIG enough I suppose.

Just booked a day at Silverstone "drift-tuition" in a Caterham 7. Fairly pricey at £225 but may get the driving like a vandal out of my system for a bit and am keen to try a Caterham.
Haven't been on a track since the (free) Vauxhall day at Brands a few years ago now.

We stayed at the Noir d'Ivoire...

Not sure on the wheels, interior looks clean, exterior looks fresh after resto (so it should!)... wondering if this is the original colour though, sure does set it off well IMO.....
