Over to the dark side!

Here's an interesting look for an S212....

Personally, I like it... ?

Barry, thats awful. Sorry, the stuff of nightmares

 

[Charles Morgan]

Nice looking Honda, why the MB badge on it?

 

[bpsorrel]

Must have had too much wine tonight.... hick!

 

[Charles Morgan]

Not enough....

 

[bpsorrel]

Well, funny you should say that, a fine burgundy is finding it's way out of the garage tonight to celebrate the last but one evening by myself! (Yes, I'm off on friday to meet up with SWMBO in Russia for a couple of weeks!)

I've a bottle of "Old Git" red heading my way tonight. It was a gift from a thoughtful friend.

 

[bpsorrel]

Only problem is, I feel a bit of a sado drinking by myself, but what can you do when all your mates are busy and your other half is away...

Which Burgundy?

 

[bpsorrel]

Sorry!! I meant bordeaux!!

Reading from the label, it's a:
Chateau Maucru 2008. Any good?

We get our wines delivered from Laithwaites.

Young claret makes me very ill.

 

[bpsorrel]

Oh no!! No good inviting you round then!

Just found deep in the fridge, the first bottle of champagne given to me by MB Ipswich when I bought my first MB! (skillful "back on topic" eh! )

 

[Charles Morgan]

Past it complimentary champoo makes me very ill too....

I'd rather have a tenner off myself.

 

[bpsorrel]

Maybe one day we'll open it just to see what it's like! Funny thing is, I've got three other bottles! Two more from MB dealers and one from the Saab dealer! (saab dealer gave my wife flowers too!)

 

[Charles Morgan]

You could use the Merc ones for topping up your Merc battery, and the SAAB one for scrubbing the loo.

 

[bpsorrel]

LOL!!! What a great idea Charles! Save me nipping over to Tesco to buy some bleach!

 

[Mercedease]

back on topic, lol, gmk666 - i haven't got that sort of cash to spunk on some alloys, I know what you mean about OEM, I would never use aftermarket, but if they are replicas of genuine oem I don't see a problem?

bpsorrel - was that from a posh fast and furious film? It's horrendous! however thanks for the pics of the models, the elegance silver trim does add to the look, the drl's are so much better, shame no one knows how to retrofit them...

 

[Mercedease]

also, please can someone explain the difference between s212 and w212?

 

[st4]

S =estate (station wagon) w=saloon (wagon)
