As someone with a temperamental stomach at the best of times, I always get anxiety on collections from the unknown and stress. Even though this should be inheritanly good proven car I still get it. So doesn't make sense but then never does. Hence I'm not doing a poo count like others as I don't want to set an unofficial record 🤣 (I think I'm about on six already...)

SiC Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 I definitely prefer the trains down the South West. Brunel certainly knew how to plan a smooth route with a view in comparison! I usually stare out the window but there isn't much to see apart from retail parks and industrial estates on this midlands train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 Even closer to me, but if he’s buying what I think he has then it’s a proper grown-ups car that’s hewn from granite and he could drive to Cape Town for lunch on Sunday without any issues. rantingYoof, Six-cylinder and SiC 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honey Badger Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 RantingYoofs Merc seems to be the car here. Unless I've agreed to sell SiC my Legend, I forget why I go into rooms these days so it's possible that I've sold a car and forgotten about it. privatewire, Coprolalia and stripped fred 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shite Ron Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 That is a lovely car and exactly what I was looking for when I bought my S210. It is the best colour on these too with a lovely interior. I am glad it sold quickly as I was very tempted, a perfect modern daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk More accurately it falls in between the aforementioned pile of particles era and the subsequent rotting rear subframe period. MOT’d the 2012 Cabriolet yesterday and I was more nervous about it failing on the back axle falling out than when I last put a Series 1 XJ6 in about 35 years ago. Luckily it hasn’t got any sign ( yet) of rust. Also they’re nice and compact, here’s mine parked next to a Mini rantingYoof, barefoot, Snake Charmer and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted November 3, 2023 Author Share Posted November 3, 2023 Currently pitstopped at in-laws in Newbury. Zero trouble and lovely to drive. Reminds me a lot of my Saab and I see why people love them. Makes me a calm driver who's happy bumbling along at 60/70mph. I'll write up more later as have a few questions to the Merc experts.

After the R56 they're just getting silly sized. My wife's R55 is not that much smaller that the Ovlov 940 - it's taller, slightly narrower and if the 940 didn't have a boot like a hearse and a nose like Jimmy Durante then there'd be little dimensional difference there either.
