Has bought me, a Mercedes-Benz,
for cutting up Porsches,
I won't make amends,
the Merc will work hard on the motorway slogs,
no distance too far for the 4 cylinders,
Oh the Lord has bought me a Mercedes-Benz......

hehe Yep, got a sorted C class Merc off that ne're-do-well FUBAR and a ferkin bargain to boot. Time to slice some of my currently horrendous annual mileage off the Cerb and waft around in a Merc for the daily hack.

Upside: I can hear the stereo without having it so loud my teeth rattle while cruising on the mway, it used next to no fuel for a 70 mile odd trip, was warm, comfy and the lights actually lit up the road ahead.

Downside: No-one gave it a second look and it was very well behaved. Slightly boring but hey, means when I DO go out in the Cerb it'll be even more of an occasion.
