A L 3 X Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 My full time job is a telecoms engineer.....BUT...I do love at home for free, work a fair bit of overtime, and do anything I'm offered money for( within reason obviously ☺️)I used to go to work for my basic hours, live for my days off and not be arsed to take any opportunities to work and earn money, but a bit of effort and determination gives me an opportunity to own a car I've dreamed of! Till I can win the lottery of course hahaha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zeldoz Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I love the look of these. But i feel they lack grunt! But the noise these makes is orgasmic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Thanks for the kind words chaps Tbh, I've not seen one grandad in one MPG, around 11 town driving, max of 27 on the motorway cruising at 70 ;)Tax is £550 a year! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devs313 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 A grandad would probably have a heart attack at the wheel of one of these! Very capable machine in the right hands. Awesome car bud. Major quantum leap going from a Glanza to one of these though. What made you want one of these....like others would have maybe gone for an evo, r35 or something Jap?

What made you want one of these....like others would have maybe gone for an evo, r35 or something Jap?To be honest, I'd love a GTR, I did drive one and fell in love but maintenance costs are more than these by a fair bit! I was also tempted by an evo, but the one I saw(forged 500bhp midnight purple) was £19k, and was double the insurance of the merc believe it or not!Granddads car?

Loving it in silver by the way, don't usually see silver onesAamirI've had to replace the tyres on the rear twice since buying, they aren't cheap One thing I love is how it can be such a comfyCruiser, flick the transmission to sport or manual and it's insane, and the sound, I'veGot plenty vids on Instagram I'll have to try upload some!

Spoon_tuned Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 was it expensive if you don't mind me asking i've just been looking at the c250 and c350's and there around 10k-15k mark atm for a decent low milage one.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A L 3 X Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 For what it is not so much, £26k I think I paid almost a year ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
