Near Blackpool..... But not TOO near !!
Car
2006 CLK320 CDi
Last weekend I went for a GTG on the other forum at The Haynes museum in Sparkford...
After the meetup I stayed overnight at a certain Mr developers house..
The following morning he accidentally had a page open on his laptop..
He not so subtly kept dropping hints and put temptation my way..
I said "oh it wont do any harm if I just go and look at the Mercedes dealership nearby"
A few hours later I was aware of a very light feeling in the wallet department ..
Could that be caused by the object on the image below?? :D

Oh and errr its only done just over 21k miles..

He's a rogue that Mr D.
Congratulations! That's the view most of us will get.
 
Clean those tailpipes!!
 
How do you compare a CLK63 to a Mondeo?:dk:
Totally different cars in both performance and looks.

Not in that picture...looks remarkably similar to the @rse of a Mk1 Mundano.
 
Hey Simon, Same model as Rash's motor, I wonder if you will ever get it as clean as his :)

Nice car, I am well Jel..

No one can compare with THE Rashman..
I wont even try...
But yes I will certainly polish the tailpipes in case they don't stand out enough..:D

Mark please don't be "jel"..
I can only afford it due to my Lovely mums death..
Would much rather have mum back..
The car is just a distraction to help stop me thinking too much.
 
Nice car Simon well done, you change your cars more frequent than I change my oil and I do that every 6k max :D

CAnt wait to see it in the flesh get TJ to sort out that curry night your way :thumb:
 
Can't fault your choice in AMG, Simon! :D:rock:
Awesome car.
Look after it.
And keep it clean!


To echo Sean, I'm sorry to hear of the passing of your mother :(

Thank you Rashman..
I am VERY mechanically sympathetic with all cars I have owned..
For example last week had the rear Diff oil changed on the CLK320 Cdi (sold to my Brother) at 47k
I don't think many bother. Yet the oil was Black !!
I NEVER EVER give more than about 25% power until the engine is thoroughly warmed up to operating temp. Even then its pretty rare!
I would imagine that the '63's are pretty much impossible to thrash for very long whilst staying alive and keeping ones license.
I shall certainly keep her clean but its not possible to your high standards.
 
A Mondeo with badges stuck on...

Errr it's Jaguars that are re-badged Mondeos... :D

Everypne knows Mercedes won't be caught dead with Ford parts. Instead they proudly use Renault engines.
 
Did you change cars because I spotted that small amount of damage to the drivers door while we were at Haynes?
