Hi All
Following my introduction (just arrived) i thought i would post a couple of pictures of the ride.
I bought the CLK as a replacement for my company car and high on the agenda was reliability with reasonable fuel consumption, i also had a wish list of extras.
I trawled the adds for the right car and thought i had found it in Inverness (i think it is still on ebay) only 28k with one owner, so i booked the easyjet and was due to fly up for a viewing (not much room for negosiations once you have flow one end of the contry to the other to view a car!! the day before the flight another on came up in London (40 mile aways) so i drove straight down there and 24 hours later i was the proud owner of my very first Mercedes WHAT A JOY TO DRIVE
The car had everything i put on my wish list and it's only got 22,000 miles with full MB service history, the guy i bought it off only drove it 543 mile in the last 18 months, the only thing missing was a phone so in the 10 days since i bought it i have already fitted a retro phone loom (purchased from Command online, Mark certainly has my vote for the most helpful person i spoke to when deciding if i should tackle the job myself, and i also bought and a private plate from DVLA, bought it on the Monday it was on the car by Thursday, those boys at DVLA certainly know how to make a profit in a recession.
Anyways hope you like the photos.
.......and yes, the phone works perfectly, 10 hours to fit whole system mainly coz i was checking, double checking and then rechecking before committed to anything, i bet most people could do it in half the time.
