Show Us Your Motors!

F-40 - Truly one of the greats. Many congrats for owning such an legendary vehicle. I remember watching a video where Nigel Mansell test drove an F-40, wearing flat cap and all. :cool:

Talking of which, I will never forget attending the F1 Grand Prix at Hockenheim back in 1992 and after the race, we were walking back to our car and wondering why such a large crowd was standing around. Only an F-40 was parked next door to our car. :D

I will never forget seeing this F-40 coated in road muck leaving the car park onto the autobahn, seeing a road car spit fire and the noise... :eek:
 
F40, every pre millenniums dream car! pure unadulterated awesomeness.
I think i'm gonna have to switch off the internet now and figure out how to sort my life out into owning one of those!

The 355 has a Capristo on it so it sounds like an F1 car. Probably the most musical sound of all the cars. The CGT at full chat sounds like nothing else.

The Griffith is nice but it's just a Rover V8 with no cats. It doesn't really compare to the above.

Picked it up yesterday and dropped into Karspa in Lincoln for a coating and touch up today. Brand new 17 plate E220d, AMG and this time I delved a little deeper in my wallet for the LED headlights! Last time I posted my A-Class I got bashed for not having the LED's.

I got 9 grand knocked off the list price so it was just a smidge over £40,000 on the road. £300 a month for 36 months based on 10,000 miles a year. Its a lovely car to drive, got plenty of poke considering its almost 2 tons in weight. 9 speed auto gearbox, Premium Plus pack as well as the 12in Digital Dash display, keyless entry as well as keyless go, multi-beam LED lights, dual sun roofs. Electronic seat control plus 3 stage heating. Command system.

Mercedes Boston lent me a 350d saloon whilst my A was in for some work prior to taking it in part exchange and the power of the 3lt was intoxicating. I got cut up by a boy racer on the A46 roundabout at Newark, buried the loud pedal and left him for dust! Whilst it was fun to drive, the airbag suspension meant the ride was super smooth I don't think I'd have a 350 for a regular drive. Even driving like Miss Daisy I was struggling to get 45 MPG whilst the 220d got about 58-62 MPG in Lincolnshire's country roads!

Really is a good looking car - Merc have done very well with the design. Shame the C class looks like a pigs left bollock.
 
I was first looking at the C Class but after specing all the options that I wanted as the price was getting close to what an E Class was and most of the kit was standard anyway. The C's interior didn't look that much better than my A-Class whereas the E looks more refined. Had a sit in the S Class they had the show room. You could tell that was designed for people who too much money to drive the car themselves. Still, 17 plate, S350d "used" 17 miles on the clock. £67,000.
