I hope im not offending no one.

I went to paris a few weeks ago and i couldnt believe how many Merc's i saw, especially the E-class. Probably nearly 100. And i only saw about 2 or3 E60's.

Also there are not many french members on the forum?

I am sitting here thinking of all kinds of things to say but believe it or not, I've decided not to say anything.

Probably because they have the Renaults and the Citroens running wild there.Also they probably buy the MBs for the luxury and not for the performance.Then again who can ever understand the French.It's like trying to figure out women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just too tempting to leave it alone:

Maybe for the same reasons they love Jerry Lewis and mimes?

Guys,
I know that it's too tempting when it's the French but we should cut it out before it gets out of control.

Agreed! The post was about why there weren't many E60's in France and not many French members on the board. Let's try and be kind and not single anyone out here.

Agreed, otherwise we may make them mad and they will hire us to kick ourselves in the ass

This topic was the humor of my day!

Of course I should stop there but I will offer a little praise with a minor cut....

Granted they don't have a good war track record, and thier memories are quit short (World War What?), but they do have excellent tires (Michelin), Vodka (Grey Goose) and wine....and obviously poor taste in automobiles.
