CLS CLC E220
Hi
Currently have x3 Merc’s in the household
E220 / clc and as of 2 wwwks ago a CLS

I also compete in Motorsport - Sprints and speed trials in my 1970 Mini Cooper S Goodwood is my next scheduled event - The Bailey Sprint.

I love 2 wheels too and have a 1962 BSA Rocket Gold Star 650cc

Finally a 1982 VW Camper into which I have transplanted a Subaru Impreza engine

Though retired I am a car mechanic x2 or so days a week at a friends

Looking forward to enjoying my Merc’s with this fine community of owners who care for and appreciate engineering excellence

Hello and welcome . Living in Brighton where do you park them all ?! :) My mother in law used to live in Hove and my brother in law lives in Brighton every visit was/is a game of 'musical cars' juggling them around for parking space .

Like the Subaru engine thing , my brother had one with a Toyota HiLux engine in the back...not quite the same , but much better than what was in there before it.

Hi Pete
I migrated to the outskirts nr Ovingdean/Rottingdean - to accommodate my collection - I forgot to mention my other vehicle is a Pure Air electric scooter (controversial I know !! ) but it’s liberating and makes city travel a pleasure-
 
Thanks all for the warm welcome - I look forward to sharing and contributing to the forum.

Although as a mechanic in a local garage I work on all sorts of and marques of car with diagnostics and general repair procedures- there is no substitute for make and model specific knowledge.

Enjoying my new (to me) CLS - it’s a facelift 2011 and packed full of optional features - I am ploughing through the owners manual to get the most from its facilities like command - linguatronic etc …. I just installed a media interface Bluetooth adapter so I can enjoy my Spotify playlists from my phone and for a cheap Amazon prime unit it works great
 
Welcome and more details and photos on the camper / i love that. I always had a soft spot for a beetle with a transplant.
😎
 
Hi

I am rubbish with media but it’s a 1982 T25 Devon conversion with a subaru 2.0 flat 4 engine

The photos I have are too large to upload - I am better with spanners than I am tech but suffice to say it flies for a camper and has surprised a few aggressive drivers on the road who try to bully me en route to Cornwall camping trips 😄

I resisted the urge to give any external clues of what is under the hood except for a pair of exhaust as I made the system from a fast Ford focus ST
 
You will probably now the guy I bought my c63 from he also racers classic mini's he owns play mini Horsham called nick ,very nice guy
 
Thanks - enjoying my new addition to my “fleet “ and off to an auto jumblesouth of en gland show ground at Ardingly Later on today.
