Jim Bell Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 Well MPGs are not going to seduce any other halves. 23 in SPORTFUCK mode round the doors.Raising to 26-7 in CAREFULLECONOMYBENTGAY setting. Never done a lengthy run, but I would thing that 30 would be hard to attain unless you were going a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 It's a pillarless six-cylinder Mercedes coupe for goodness' sake, in a shitey yet very fashionable shade of brown. There's so much more to life than MPGs, people Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 that's the downside of those earlier ones (230 is 4 cylinder though isn't it?). my 320 does 27 round town and I've seen 32 up the motorway for 200miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Well, the Merc "sold" on ebay and is due to be collected on Thursday. I don't think English is the proposed purchasers first tongue, but he seems quite excited. Ebay being Ebay, and Ebay buyers being Ebay buyers, I'm giving odds of 9/4 that he fails to attend.

Jim Bell Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 It did. It was such a bargain, he drove from Essex, wasnt bothered looking at it or test driving it, paid up and drove home. Hes going to slam it and put 18s on and sell it in London. So no doubt it'll be back for sale at 2k plus reasonably soon. He sold one recently for £2700. Shame, but he had cash money and nobody else even made a derogatory offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lord Sward Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 My last one went to that there Essex. Again, rocked-up, handed over cash and fucked off. No hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
