Credit Crunch hits Blackpool

[Ian B Walker]

Yes folks, the Credit Crunch has finally hit the Mercedes Owner. Gone are the days of going to your local dealer and buying a set of Mb Club Pedals. The below was seen yesterday. Comments are welcome

Is that not so Aandy

 

[pammy]

required - a tin of silver paint and a tin of black paint. Paint all over with silver and allow to dry. Then using the black paint - drop a few blobs on - done

 

[AANDYY]

It works for me

Ewww, my carpets look minging.

Now hold on a moment. Its soft wood not teak or mahogany. Not even planed or varnished. As I said, Credit Crunch

 

[AANDYY]

Yes with it being softwood it will wear quicker, I will have to scrable around in about 100,000 miles and change it to another piece:bannana:

 

[Corrado]

That looks like part of a dodgy BEM kit off fleabay.

Alternatively, the owner may have had this accomanying upgrade applied to the dashboard switches

 

[AANDYY]

No, thanks, there just dust collectors

As with leather and COMAND, could add to re-saleability and would be a detailing opportunity

Nice touch Maybe he'd like his brake callipers painted like this too?

 

[Dieselman]

Cheaper than a Sprintbooster..

I think I'm getting away with it quiet gently Ian

Best not mention the cruise control I made for the old Maestro van I drove about 20 years ago, yes it was wood again , wedged between pedal and seat Ooopssss......

Ian are you working on the car that kid ( Shorty ) in the old Indiana Jones movie had!!:bannana::bannana:

 

[del320]

...funny, I have the block of wood on the other side of the pedal - does wonders for the fuel consumption...

 

[grober]

I had a Maestro van about 10 years ago. In BT Grey. Bl**dy awful.

Yes they were Poo!
I think the engine was based on the A series engines from the old style minis and Allegros! 1960's Tech. Great!

I thought they were B series engines from the Montego. The best ones were 2.0 perkins Prima powered. An easy 60mpg, but you could hear them coming.

Of course they do - Ian Walker was involved...
