Another silver C43 in my street!

[benno]

Hey All! This had to be worth a new thread.

I was minding my own business walking back from breakfast in Balham this morning when I heard a most distinctive / delightful rumble. I turned my head to witness a guy driving a silver C43. After suffering a momentary brown trouser moment (thinking it may have been my own), I followed the car to find that he was visiting his daughter who lives a few houses down. Long story short, he’s a nice bloke who dropped bye for a chat and a few photos.

Very nice, thanks for the post! Both of you have beautiful cars, drive safe and take care.

 

[pammy]

nice one!! Did you introduce him to the wonders of MBClub UK?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Which is yours?

Seeing them together certainly makes it easier to make your mind up which is the more appealing.

I.ve seen that one B4 Pity you didnt give me a call and we could have a mini meet as i live only 100yds away.

 

[crockers]

Did they mate? Any little A classes ??

 

[Kompressor_Dude]

Is yours the one with the monoblocks? That one looks lower

Mine's got the 18's and rear spoiler. I see what you mean about the W plate appearing lower which just prompted me to go outside and take a close look at the ride height which I believe is perfect if not practical for London. We didn't attract a new member today as he's not technology friendly unfortunately.

Here's the old (reconditioned and stuffed into a cupboard) wheels vrs new (which I'm rather in favour of);

Oh yeah, and hey Crockers, I believe we're expecting, so hoping to find out it's an A210 in the 22 week scan ;-)

Great to see them side by side.

Your brown trouser moment made me smile - thinking it may have been yours. We went to the garden centre today - as we walked towards the car, I thought "the offside rear tyre looks under-inflated", and "bu66er, how'd that scratch get there?!". Turns out I was looking at another silver ML parked next to ours!!

Cool cars,

I searched a A210 Evo LWB when my wife was expecting, swapped her MX5 for it.

Its a great car, goes well, huge inside, 40 mpg, very rare

Monoblocks always. Avery rare brace. Two very well kept C43's.
