After 25 years of blowing a Trumpet about how good MB was , I finally found out they were a pile of Junk in recent years.

I have bought Porche as replacements and so far I am really pleased with everything about the Marque, and glad I made the changes. :)
 
I saw your letter in the MBOC Gazette Tony - no response in print.

Just have to learn how to spell Porsche now huh ;)

Here's hoping you get to enjoy many miles of uninterrupted motoring.

Yep me too. They've lost a big customer.

I believe you still need to change your avatar ;) - or has the SL55 gone now ? Shame - such a fabulous car. I'd love to know what the final straw was that broke the relationship, and what triggered it to go south.....

Here's the Cayenne S

This is a 911 TurboS Cabriolet. 450 BHP and 0-60 in under 4 seconds. this is a stop-gap untill the 997 Turbo S Cab is launched as per this weeks Autocar.

As a footnote, my Daughter is delighted with her Cayenne which replaced her 2004 ML270 and my Son is delighted with his 911 S which replaced his SL500.

Very nice Tony. Nice garage to keep them in too!


Well, I may as well be a proper 'Defector' if I show the complete garage !

I've had the other non Mercedes for nearly 5 years now.

1 1/2 of those cars are worth more than mine ...... :(
 
I also saw your article in the Gazette Tony and have been following your trials and tribulations since you wen't to Germany and picked the SL and before. I am surprised you held out so long. The new fleet looks great. I hope they go as well as they look.
