The dirty word is "MB"...? ?
no, the dirty word is "foglights" or "foklights" or "focklights" .

If it weren't for the lousy customer service in the UK on my last merc I'd be driving an E now..
i hope i won't have to say this the other way around in the m.benz forum next time when i change car. the services that i'm having so far are all suck !

I think everyone needs to own a Porsche at one point in thier life.
i thought about the boxster before i got my previous e39 and thought about the cayenne before i got my e60. so bmw knocked down porsche twice in a row !

Hhmm... OK, I have to add about 2500 to get up to 5000... ? ?
i have to add about 4500 to go over you :'(.

Big dilemma - went to the porsche dealer today, sat in and started up a 997 C2S.

wow - i want one - went through the numbers with the business manager and it seemed to work - then the killer blow- they want a ?3000 deposit - :'(

The car was beautiful, the interior high quality but what to do.

I am even considering selling my HiFi to fund the deposit.

I really have a problem

Thanks Jonboy, looks like a serious car.

Who needs a HiFi anyway?
