Nice merc, you have a suitable username

Awesome Merc. Quite a change from an MX5!

Were those photos taken in the 80s?

Couple of weeks ago i traded in my Focus S for a Seat Leon FR 184, a much better ride than the Focus, a lot more responsive and engaging drive, plus the extra grunt helps on some of the long motorway miles i am doing.

Only negative is the white gets dirty very quickly, but it just means i need to get it washed more often

MX5 and mates E30 at Vox's most recent attempt at a sunny Saturday meet

Took some pics of the Bimma to appease the ins co now it has its factory option wheels.

An excellent choice.

That Merc is ace.

Akagi · 12 Feb 2017 at 16:53

Yeah I do like the Merc.

Any more pictures of it?

It's a 'beemer', we're not Americans just yet

Eh? Why would you even bother declaring if they were a factory option?

I wasn't intending on fitting factory option wheels at first, and I paid for the insurance and cover for the mods before I bought them. I was originally going to buy my mates BBS replica split rims.

Beemer/Beamer refers to BMW motorbikes, Bimmer = BMW cars.

Some extra pics. Sorry no longer on gravel as I'm not posh. House isn't rented though so I got that going for me I guess.

Akagi · 12 Feb 2017 at 17:50

Excellent. I'm most amazed by the condition of the cream leather. Low mileage/use, or have the seats been restored?

Something odd going on with the rear numberplate letter spacing.

That Merc is a symphony in beige.

I think it looks awesome though

Akagi · 12 Feb 2017 at 17:54

I really like beige on old cars. Luxorbeige is one of my favourite colours on an E30 for example.

He gives the most honest description to insurance companies than anyone else in history

Akagi · 12 Feb 2017 at 19:58

Modified car insurance is cheaper for me as well. I got quoted less for an M50B25 swapped 320i, than for a stock 320i.

Lovely Merc, whats scary is that the plate on it is almost identical to my own plate which is F9 NSH !
