He's a work colleague mate. Just one of his fleet, SLK, Ford Granada (V old), VW Golf, Seat and 5 old motor bikes. Oh, the Merc is scrapped.
There, fixed that for you Andy. What a big 'orrible barge !

Tony.

This is what it should look like, very similar to mine but the ex wife has still got all our non dig photos.

Not a big fan of any of these type of Autobhan stormer Mike, just to big and barge-like for me. The 2.3 190e Cosworth, now their's a Merc.

Yeah, mate of mine had two of them.
I have owned three 190's as well, petrol and diesel, bit of a Merc thing going on with us back in the 90's.
Funny thing is, you still see the odd old 190 out on the road but never an old Merc coupe?

I liked those little Cossies too Andy, don't particularly like Mercs in general, even the newer ones. Don't mind the new A class though.

Worth a few quid now mate. Yup, no doubt on the engineering but I'd take most Audi's over most Mercs and BMWs. Just look better, in my view.

A shame Audi never made a proper roadster though, with RWD.

This is true mate, the first TT was/is a bit feminine for me.
Got around to watching some of the Grand Tour now my Kodi is working and saw the one with Clarkson driving the TTRS. I have to say that looks great and sounds even better, love the pops and crackles from the exhaust. Takes you back to the original Quattro rally car sound.

And on a side note, my last Merc was a Mercedes C230 V6, could not be bothered to work out what all the bells & whistles did on the thing and traded it in for my Z.

Not quite as big as you think. Here's my big barge next to Jill's little Polo

Must be the colour then mate. No one can have asked if it's a**e looked big in brown.;)=)). Mind you even a Polo isn't what you used to call a small car.
