What I have read today on this forum from some of you has really disappointed me - the type of topics and comments on varous threads are just out of order.

The C63 is a Mercedes, this is a Mercedes forum so what is your problem guys? I seriously couldn't imagine going onto the BMW forum and reading posts (even dedicated threads) from people commenting that there was too much talk about the M3. It wouldn't happen and shouldn't be happening on here.

Just think about it from an enthusiastic C63's owners point of view - they are obviously as proud of their car as anyone on here is of their own car yet they're being made to feel that they cannot or should not be talking about it (or at least need to refer to it in another way). How would that make you feel if a person (or group of people as in this case) basically told you they didn't want to hear about your car? I apprecate that this hasn't directly been said, but there have been enough 'hints' in this direction across the various posts. And as for the need to refer to the C63 as a C Class or W204....WTF?? Get a grip...the average person is more likely to know that a C63 is a C-Class than a W204 is a C63!

It's not often I take something seriously and if it was me posting about my Porsche on every other thread then I could understand people getting fed up, but the C63 is Mercedes and the exact kind of car and owner that this forum aims (or should aim) to attract. If you don't like reading about the C63 then bugger off to an Audi forum!

I'm really disappointed guys...I really enjoy this forum but some of you have been bloody idiots today and, because being part of active forum that relates to the car I own is something I thoroughly enjoy, I'm sorry to say I'm glad to not be one of the C63 owners anymore!

Well said andrew my good man hope you are well hopefully the numpties will see sense in your post and shut the you know what up and leave us alone - bloody idiots.

I thought so. I blame prprandall51.

 

[Palmball]

Isn't it all just a bit togue-in cheek?

Quite likely yes....but it's not really expected when coming to a Mercedes forum to be flamed (maybe flamed is a bit strong) for talking about a bloody Mercedes!

I've never seen anything like it....even on the Pistonheads marque-specific forums which are rammed full of numpties!

Umm, I read this whole C63 thing as being very tongue in cheek, thought everyone else had too!! Perhaps not.

 

[Howard]

Don Corleone , a trifle aggressive no ?

I suppose being the Don , you are used to speaking your mind ....

I also read it as a bit tongue in cheek , some people with C classes with 6.3 litre engines need to get some thicker skin.

 

[LTD]

I thought so. I blame prprandall51.

<tongue in cheek mode ON>

I blame all the C63 owners that have came into a thread not for them :bannana:

<tongue in cheek mode OFF>

PB...give it up. The only flaming happened at 6.35pm to-day. It was I, and many others, thought good natured up 'til then.

It may well have been good natured although I would guess it's not quite so amusing from the C63 owners POV. Of course I could be wrong and they can speak for themselves but if it was I that wanted to post about a C63 related subject I would certainly think twice about it now. I bet your bottom dollar that you now see less genuine threads relating to the C63 from now on...is that right or what people wanted on a Mercedes forum? Of course, I won't lose any sleep if I'm wrong and genuinely hope I am.

My point isn't even related specifically to C63's...I just happened to see this as I read anything to do with C63's as that's where my interest lies. I would feel the same confusion if reading similar about other models on a forum for those models!

 

[Howard]

Thats fair enough , but do you not find it a bit curious ....

If someone posts up with a problem with their CLK the thread usually is called ' Problem with CLK ' , rarely is it called 'Problem with CLK 55' ...

Same with any other model , unless it is an engine specific problem ..

'Problem with E class ' , 'Problem with SLK' ....

Personally i couldn't care less , but it's intriguing don't you think ? almost like wanting as many people as you can to know what you have ?

It's all been a bit of a giggle , there have just been so many 'C63' threads recently ... i don't read any malice in it ...

 

[wemorgan]

Personally I find it quite useful when the car details are given in the thread title. It makes it easier to find threads at a later date. I'd rather see C63 in the thread title than the less than specific title of 'help'

Yes, I agree with your POV...I actually think a lot of it us because the name C63 is short and easy to write and refer to. It's only one model, didn't have any predecessors and therefore is just easy to refer to both in writing about it and knowing what model is being written about. C class could be anything in the last 15 years, w204 not everyone understands...whenever I wrote it was either because it was model specific or just easier to refer to.

I'll pipe down now....but I do hope it doesn't put off the enthusiastic C63 crowd that the forum attracts!

In fairness though, if you had a problem with your C63, it doesn't really sound right to title the thread 'problem with C-class', does it? This whole thread is getting silly! Keep it tongue in cheek...

From my point of view, it was all good fun, tongue in cheek wind up! Don't be so sensitive guys! Yes, "C63" was mentioned a lot and one or two guys came over a bit precious about it and the veiled implication that jealousy and envy was the culprit was a bit unfair as I'm guessing most guys here could afford a C63 if wanted (£60K is not such a big deal these days!) - so, lets be grown ups and take the jesting as it was meant - just a laugh!

 

[A210AMG]

^ Most are not 'owned' either but leased and some cracking deals if your miles are low

Anyway I love reading the reports on peoples cars, picking them up from the factory, what mods they are doing, having them professionally cleaned etc.

Its peoples choice to click on a thread, if you don't want to read them don't click?

I'm not reading the 6 pages of this thread but it seems stupid on a Mercedes forum adults are moaning about people talking about a certain model of a Merdedes?

Lets Move on.... and in C63 Style.....QUICKLY.

 

[grober]

On a more serious note [involving no parrots!] of course any C63 owner is entitled to include the model designation in all his thread titles if he wishes. It makes a refreshing change from the opposite but infinitely more annoying "Clairvoyant Thread" Can anyone identify what this component is under the bonnet? Well-------- yes, if you would care to tell us the make, model, year, type of engine / transmission might help too? of your "horseless carriage". Most comments were I believe made in the way of friendly banter and I hope that this doesn't offend any C63 owners who should stick around. We all love our Mercs whatever they are.

Sorry I missed all the fun ... I just spent 3 hrs looking for my wife s 15k engagement ring she gave me last week to keep save ... Found it

Now do I title that as I've lost an engagement ring help c63 or do I exchange my wife for a c63
