I've just ordered a C63 AMG from Mercedes which inevitably means that my email address is now on their mailing list. The first email-shot I have received from them is for "driving lessons". I opened it thinking that it might be an advanced driving course, maybe even with some track tuition, but no, its for 16 year olds to get a head start by learning to drive at a private facility prior to legally being allowed on the roads.

They must be doing a roaring trade if they have so many C63 orders being placed by 16 year olds who haven't yet considered how they might learn to drive! My first car was a Vauxhall Chevette...

I'm guessing they're thinking / hoping you have teenage kids or nephews / nieces that you might want to treat.

Or maybe that you'll post about it on an internet motoring forum to get them some free publicity.
If its the latter then I guess it worked. No kids, nephews or nieces of any kind, let alone of driving age. I'm far too young for that! whistle
