....and on my may home was lucky enough to see my old forum mate, owner of my former downpipes and all round good bloke Peter DLM 
As for the car it was hilarious, huge, fast with pops and bangs, incredible luxury, ludicrously high gadget count and impressively taut for something so big and missing a roof. Only downside was that the gearbox felt woefully slow and I think I've become too used to DCT and PDK in other cars. That said the car isnt really meant for manual shifting I suppose which I supect means that the non AMG cars in the S Cabrio range are really more fit for purpose. As for the depreciation curve at £140k as specced I suspect it would be catastrophic in the first year or so.
Despite the downsides it made me feel all warm towards MB and AMG all over again so much so that I'm going to put in a speculative enquiry about a C63S cabrio and see if I can get a drive in one of those
