Re: Cheap diesel purchase
No good, I occasionally need to carry my family of 4, a friend for each of us plus my mother-in-law. By occasionally, I mean it hasn’t happened yet but I can envisage a time where it might be true. Also, I need to do 3000 miles without stopping, even for a second.

Only just spotted this, one of the smartest looking cars on the road IMO. Very nice
Re: Cheap diesel purchase
I’m enjoying it so far. Doesn’t feel as wide as the Volvo. It does feel like it has a longer wheelbase; bumps seem to take a long time between feeling them at the front wheels and the back
The boot is long. I’ve just taken an old tumble dryer to the tip in it, and thought I’d check how well it accommodates my stepladder. That only fits in the Volvo if the bottom rung goes round one of the front seats; not a problem in the Merc:
Have discovered that virtually all the online part of COMAND is pretty much dead now; I can access the weather Because it has the online traffic it doesn’t have TMC, so far as I can tell; I think a retrofit CarPlay interface is the way to go so I can get Google Maps.

I don’t have any tins of custard in the cupboard, but I did find three packets of Birds’ Dream Topping. Which ideally illustrates that there are 3 rear seats

How big is the stepladder precisely
Wonder what the CLS is rated to tow, always liked the first gen one!
Re: Cheap diesel purchase
Tim’s got a whole lotta love for the CLS.

I like big boots and I cannot lie.

Living the dream. Topping.
Re: Cheap diesel purchase
So it your car a 5-seater or a 2+3 Simon?
Re: Cheap diesel purchase
I've just checked - one of them is, and the other two were best before end of Feb 2020 so perfectly usable
Mik, that sounds the sort of wanky description which is ideal for an estate version of a 4-dr coupe, so yes, why not Merc designate the Shooting Brake the X218; the normal CLS is a W218 but estate versions are usually S-prefix so fuck knows what they were trying to call it.

Fucking pleased I didn’t leave it longer to get my new car
