Congrats mate, bet you can't wait! Is that colour Palladium Silver? Looks very smart

[ghibbett]

Hi HH.

Yes it is Palladium Silver. Roll in Friday!!

How are you getting along with yours?

[HammyHamster]

9 days and counting!

[ghibbett]

Great stuff!! When does it arrive at the dealership? Also, what colour/spec did you go for?

Apparently it's arriving at the dealership on the 20th, but not sure if they need a day or so to prep the car.

Spec-wise I went a bit overboard...

Magnetite Black
19" alloys
PPP
LSD
AMG Performance Suspension
Lane Tracking Package
Harmon Kardon Sound
Black Ash trim

That'll be a monster! Did you try the AMG suspension before ordering?

[whoami]

Looks fantastic in that colour.

No... there were no demo cars available with it. Let's just call it a leap of faith

I'll let you know what it's like when I get it!

[ghibbett]

Yes please do

[HammyHamster]

Did the beast arrive ghibbett? What's it like?

[ghibbett]

Yes it certainly did! Collection was fantastic - all credit to the dealership.

Have done 175 miles so far. It's already getting noticeable louder and the noise is just brilliant. Way better than I remember from my test drive(s). Made good use of the ILS system too, including high beam assist. I couldn't fault the system and was very impressed.

The only thing is my car, as with many other facelift C-Classes, has the dreaded rattle from the centre console / centre stack interface. Otherwise the car is solid as a rock! Am loving it!

Wow. I'd love THAT! Looks like the perfect autostrada and autobahn rocket. As I do all my driving in the car-hating UK I can't think where I'd be able to unleash all its glory on our third-world camera-policed tracks that are called roads.
