Well - the renault has gone today - it Lisa 40th soon and she has been after a C30 for ages and i spotted one at bells so off i trotted and part exchanged the Rs200 and Lisa's old rover 25.
A sad day - am i growing up ? - i dont think so i still have the beast and the Volvo goes back at the end of the summer and i have just been down to Mercedes and picked up some info on the E63 - very nice and i really did love my E55 i had a while back.Growing up - definately not. Off now to thrash the nuts off the Renault.( it doesnt actually leave my posesion until Wednesday!!)
See you soon
Dave

That'll be you and me both Dave! Though I kept mind 6 months!

I really enjoyed mine, but it had to make way for another Ferrari (not a bad trade off I suppose!)

Only downside was the usual french residuals, which for saying they're to popular and there's a waiting list wasn't that good. One garage offered me £10k and were deadly serious.

Dave have you forgot already, the petrol, rear tyres and brakes, the poor Merc service - being told about this before

For the same price as an AMG you could almost afford to buy and run one of the classics I've had - or a really nice P5 or DS or more up your dain-saf street an old Jag

You've done AMG

If you really must how about an Alpina

20k a year would be no problem to a P5, DS, Jag and the like and probably a lot less cost overall

Remember the Big Man's J reg Daimler despite his ownership and driving style it must have lasted more than 20,000 miles

20,000 miles on a low mileage, or any, classic would do it good and mileage doesn't matter that much on a classic

You could if you really must get and excellent classic Merc see info here - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

You could even a pair and the expert that the factory refers to is on your door step

Fair enough. I hadn't checked the Northants thread for a while, so serves me right...
