I haven't bought it, I traded it for some stuff and I'm not entirely sure I want it, but I'm definitely curious... It's green. It was made in Britain in 2004. It's got 12 months MoT. It does about 25mpg as far as I can tell. It has four doors. It has leather seats. It's got a CD player.

I know I have not posted on here for a long time, but I thought that I would share my new daily wheels... it’s a 2003, 53 (Facelift) S500 L (long wheel base) just ticked over to 180,364 miles (I got it at 179,220 miles) What a car, it is NOT greedy on fuel despite everyone telling me before I got it that it would be, it’s not. 5.0 V8, 306bhp 7 speed Auto. its seriously lovely, riding on the airmatic suspension. barely above idle speed at 80mph & for it’s size, it’s seriously quick when it is needed. Also, the silence inside is amazing, you can barely hear any noise, it’s so silent & insulated from the outside world. Yes, I know that most people will tell me about the horrors of the W220 Mercedes-Benz S Class, but this is a good one, no rust or rot (early examples up until 2002 were notoriously bad for rot everywhere) the 2003 facelift model onwards were not as bad. & my one is not blighted with any rot. Here it is, after being fully valeted today.

WAHOO!!!!!!! Vendor of one of my all time favourite 'must haves' just rang me back after a week of waiting thinking I'd missed the boat. It's a tank, one of the residents on this very site finally nabbed one recently, although I may have hit the V8 manual jackpot! Face it - I'm a shiter - so if it's not needing to be swept up to move it I'm buying the fekker! Wanted to go tonight but it's a fair distance away and I'm still in the office......... Anyone interested or wanting to guess.... knock yourselves out.
