New car. I couldn't resist the offer. SL350

[Peter DLM]

So after borrowing a '62 reg white SL a couple of times this year and really liking it, an opportunity arose for me to have a 12 month lease on a new '13 reg car that I just couldn't refuse.

I hope to have it early next week, it'll look exactly the same as the one I used earlier in the year.

So I have two hire cars now :fail

About bloody time you got something with a bit of poke!

 

[Peter DLM]

I'm still keeping the Smart for my daily commute and trips within MK. :fail

The SL is for everything else

 

[zach1810]

Great ride Peter. I'm sure i'll see you around MK sometime soon!

 

[bpsorrel]

I'm often in MK so will look out for your beautiful ride!

If you see a grey '13 SLK flashing (lights!!) at you, you'll know who it is!

Was this a mates rate deal, or one that any customers could have if they knew about it?

hazard/breakdown lights?

 

[bpsorrel]
