New car musing

[GransportFan1]

Also the g wagon.....very nice.....

Dem, you suggesting a Merc, think i will get a doctor, surely not true. G Wagon is a beast, especially with a 5.5 under the bonnet, love them, one of the coolest cars in the world.

Dan I have two words for you Bowler Wildcat! OOOHH yes.

What a vehicle, they will do any speed on any terrain no problem, immense piece of engineering.

 

[GransportFan1]

Pity about the wood trim but apart from that, what a beast.

LHD, wrong colour and the glovebox lock looks kn4ckered. Otherwise Nice car. IMO, they look so much better in silver

Yeah Silver with Black leather does probably look nicer, less "gangster".

Apart from an SL55 it's just about the only Merc I would buy

 

[GransportFan1]

SL55, arguably the best AMG car ever built.

 

[dem maser]

The 63 is the best......

My next door but one neighbour would tend to agree with you Dem , he works for Mercedes HQ in MK and manages the workshop that preps all the specials for Top gear/5th gear and the journo's etc he's alway bring home the odd special and loves the AMG 63 Black , its parked outside his house tonite ,so looks like he's got it for the weekend again ( except ths ones white, )

regards loz

 

[dem maser]

Not a fan of mercs loz but the 63 is the best.....good engines, fast but lack soul....maseratii gives you more...

Very nearly bought one, did you know that the sound of each engine is individually tuned by Satan himself?

Passed an SLS near Ashton Gate last night, that didn't sound too bad either.

It isn't though, read the review's and they will say the 55 is the more rewarding car.

For me it was a toss up between an SL55 and a 4200 spyder. I am glad to say I made the right choice.

 

[dem maser]

You made the right choice.....the merc is faster but who cares

 

[BennyD]

If I had got a Merc I wouldn't have ended up on here. I would have been p!ssing of the spanners over there instead!

 

[dem maser]

You wouldnt have lasted on the merc forum....they got no sense of humour.....

WHat colour was it Pat......Chris Harris from EVO mag has a dark blue one...Saw him yesterday on Chepstow about 5ish....Very nice looking car.

 

[dem maser]

Its a 200k merc......not sure....458 for me....
I do like the looks though......

I dont like the SLS, for a 200k car it has the same center console you get on a C Class, the quality is not there which lets it down. Think i would go for a 458 or used LP640.
