OV9

Hi all, I’ve finally been able to login. I’ve not been on the new forum since the Evo one died but I’ve been keeping up on the FB page.
Tbh cars took a back seat in my life what with getting married and a little one arriving. Anyway I sold my Z4C and bought a Merc GLC 250 diesel to transport the family around and also have a fiesta titanium petrol to knock about in. I’ve got another car coming soon which is not a normal car and once it’s in my garage I’ll post some pics.

Hey Ben, welcome back.

I just picked up a GLC300 for the same family hack duties - Pretty happy with it so far but it's a heavy beast isn't it...

It certainly is! I thought the brakes needed looking at at first. I do love it for the motorway cruises. Nearly silent and we can get 50mpg on a good run. Ours is on the 20” wheels and I was very sceptical before the test drive but it’s absolutely fine for ride comfort.

Hey Ben!

Nope, you can't come sloping back here just to show off your new flashy toy. We've all had to endure years of us all whining Away on countless threads to keep this forum going! We Don't even know your views on Brexit, Covid or Miks tippexed tyre writing FFS!!

Welcome back, I'm intrigued!

Brexit is a no no from me. Voted remain given up talking to leavers about it

Covid, had it. Messed me up for nearly two weeks, after 8 days phoned the doctors and asked for help. Got antibiotics and they sorted me out as it had gone to my chest so couldn’t breath.

I quite like white letters on tyres

Ah! Of course. Should have known from the Z4.

Are you from Jamaica and speak Russian?

Can you confirm if your Fiesta is the TIT X or just the standard TIT model - [mention]Beany[/mention] Has a vested interest.

losers have TITs.

TIT X owners go home and fuck the prom queen.

Welcome back, Ben/Ron!

I've only been back a few months and have recently acquired a 1987 Porsche 928 S4 with an X-Pipe exhaust.

I haven't yet. I'll get one done this week.

Hi Ben

I like the GLC. I particularly like the fact Merc sell a 6-cyl GLC350 diesel. Shame they don’t bother with the W205 C-class when it would clearly fit.

Standard TIT unfortunately, but will be for sale in the coming months if anyone is interested.
