    Lovely that.

    You had any other performance cars? I keep looking at c63 coupe (shape before the latest ones) but ive never had much luck with cars and imagine they might need even more looking after.

    I had a couple of M135's before this and they were a good balance of performance v cost. Plenty quick enough and normal money to service.

    The C63 would be into low double digit mpg around town if not single figures and I'd imagine it would have a hunger for rear tyres. Merc servicing costs wouldn't be cheap either. They make a great sound though.

    Magic. I think you should be well-pleased with the colour - let alone every other aspect. I guess the Blade might be lying low for a while?:cool:

    The Blade is first choice at the moment, until the roads start looking iffy later in the year. The car will get a few occasional blasts but will be mostly on family duty.

    I'm looking forward to sticking it in sport+ in the Waitrose car park and scaring the pensioners (present company excluded of course) ;)

    DF that is a stunning car. Unfortunately my Long haired General wouldn’t let me get an Audi S3 to address my mid life crisis, it had to be an 18 plate Nissan Qashqai Tekna. Not quite the same but a lot better that our old fridge (a white Vauxhall Zafira) . We called it a fridge because it was boring, white and when you opened the door a light came on inside.

    We've gone through the "must have 4 doors" and come out the other side. The Mrs also has a Yeti she loves, so she can do the practical and I can be the adolescent. ;)

    great looking car.
    I would be scared taking it on the our crappy roads and get showered with crap from HGV's or disappear into one of those mega potholes;)
    be carefull with those low profile tyres & rims.
    Don't worry about OAP's; fright or excitment is good for the heart:)
