Greetings all,
As a wary ex SL55 owner, (£110k from new, 41 non scheduled dealer visits - air suspension, electrics, hood etc), I was put off the brand for some time - even if the folks at MB did try and persuade me to get back behind the wheel with a significant head office funded discount.
I almost, (almost!) crossed back into BMW territory recently, tempted by the Gran Coupe, but not tempted by the hideous first year depreciation.
So here I am today, wounds almost healed and ready to take the plunge again.
Not sure what to get yet, although I find myself increasingly attracted to older cars - I was recently chauffeured to JFK in an immaculate W126 and fell in love with the build quality, space and simplicity.
Not sure this would be practical for central London, although great for European runs, assuming one is prepared not to eat and spend all remaining cash on fuel.
So, please excuse me whilst I poke around and have a look at members' cars. You probably won't find me commenting on anything recent, but you never know. And excuse any silly questions, remember, it's been a while )
Thanks for letting me in.
Chris
