I quite like those SL Blacks too, but if we're upping the ante then I'll have one of these instead please

This thread is timely; I am setting up to look at a C63 Black, but hadn't considered the CLK. It's £20k cheaper and rarer too. Although they'd undoubtedly be better on track, those seats in the CLK look a bit cheap, though, in the context of the rest of the car.

I suspect that the noise alone is enough to make all other considerations irrelevant when considering whether to buy. I disagree with Shim, though. The problem with any of these fast Mercs is that there is always the whiff of a taxi about them

Today I'm looking at a Gen 1 997 GT3 and then a Gen 2, as a back-to-back comparison. Price differential is £30k, so I would be surprised if the Gen 2 wins out (and £90k is at the top of what I can afford), but I will report back.

All this is my roundabout way of saying that my CSL will shortly be up for sale..

PS: Agree with Leins. That photo reminds me of this piece of hilarity:

As a lawyer working in the music industry, I cannot condone the activities of Kim Dotcom, but I confess that this video (that apparently he funded) never fails to make me smile.

Not seen that before

I recognise that "Dotcom" lad from a Ruby Wax documentary on the Gumball from the early 2000s, where he crashed his Brabus at the end

Nice position to be in Gregor, best of luck and let us know how you get on

there are many ifs......convincing wifey, right car and numbers working out but I am targeting this as my next purchase in first 6m of next year as stablemate to Csl. Struggling with alternatives.

My only concern is it might be too much like Csl....i.e I don't have another daily.

Porsche prices gave gone mad and are out for me but I do think this is a sleeper (in terms of being overlooked and holding value).
