So Last Lightening bought his E-280 to look flash !!! Where did he say that in his thread. You really are a venomous Norbert, one day, we can hope you will post something meaningful, without having a snipe.

Hello Mr Kettle. You really are rather black, aren’t you. Love, Mr Pot…:rolleyes: Sticks and stones.
My girlfriends brother has something similar, but with a manual gearbox, in silver; I think it was 5 years old with nearly 200,000 in the clock. Nothing but trouble and yes – he did buy his to appear ‘flash’ (and added darkened windows, extra speakers, cruising lights, leather bucket seats, tasteful red trim [go faster stripes], etc. Trying to be a real chav-mobile without the fluffy dice). Even with a Merc dealers ‘assistance’ – for the price of a small kings ransom – it took an age for each fault to get sorted (I think the last problem was with the electrics or timing, but I’m long past caring). – Nermal

Try a reputable Mercedes garage – anyone who buys a marque car just to look flash but without getting it properly serviced is asking for trouble – Nermal

Hilarious guys! I looked wondering how long the mods would take to comment in red…

So you were also thinking that this was going to be the kind of thread that drags this forum further down? Oh dear. – Nermal

Religion, said Karl Marx, is the opium of the people (um, and/or Lenin?).
Sigmund Freud said religion is nothing but the result of a neurosis.
Unknown – religion is at the source of nearly all the worlds problems. – Nermal

Not talking Harriers then…;) – Nermal

Thank God! 😀

BTW: It’s not the incident I take exception to, it’s certain people’s willingness to discredit Bush at every turn (or fall).
If an American want’s to make a smarta** comment, go ahead, but when a people from other countries keep griping about him, I say “give it a rest”….we’ve heard it too often before.

But if Bush didn’t go out of his way at every opportunity to give everyone a way to discredit him…;) – Nermal

we all no where I stand and what I BELEIVE SHOULD BE DONE.

Horribly mutilate and dismember all first born sons so that they don’t do it again, or force them to watch every episode of Friends, back to back, with no toilet breaks?
How inhuman! – Nermal

So visionary in fact, that the Earth still hasn’t been invaded by aliens. 😀

It hasn’t?:confused::confused::confused: – Nermal
