There should be 5 or 6 from memory but I haven't noticed any activity from some as of late.
Next sunny weekend it is! Could be awhile given we're in Melb...

AFAIK I recal 5 of us on this C204 section from Melb. there's quite a few other Melbournians I've seen from the W204 section

However as noted above there seems to be only the 3 of us actively participating - maybe we should try a specific thread in case the others don't venture into this thread.

What I'll do is keep an ear out for the next good weather weekend which is rare at the moment and put up a thread for a Melb. meet during the week before, at least that way all who venture into the C204 section will see it.

If it ends up being only 3 attending, that'll be ok anyway - always nice to put a face to the name and find out what the real names are too LOL

I've jumped on the bandwagon for wanting to change the exhaust to a quad configuration and I've been making queries with Brabus, along with the Eco PowerXtra kit. I'm still waiting to hear back from MB but in the meantime do you have any insights on the implications for new car warranty?
By the way, this weekend is looking to be sunny. Any takers for a meet up?

I'm definitely one to change to quad exhaust, it's just a matter of someone bringing one out for the CDI. I'm ready to pull the trigger once I can find the right exhaust.

Warranty wise; if the changed modification affects the part in question then MB won't honor it otherwise everything else is fine.

Weekend does look good, I'm keen if u guys are.

I had the choice of petrol and diesel and diesel won hands down in every facet. Was easy choice for me.

Hello people from Melb.

I'm also (at this stage) free this Saturday afternoon - have a totally busy day lined up on Sunday.

Hopefully the weather will also hold up

So if all of you from Melb. (AFAIK 3 of us) want to meet up this Saturday afternoon, we'll lock in a time and place

I've always also been a petrol man, but after comparing the 2 and the CDI coming out on top in power, performance, economy and o/a running costs over the long run I couldn't resist the diesel for the same price as the petrol and now after 3 months of ownership I've gotten used to the sound and don't mind it, it actually emits a nice rumble from inside the cabin at certain throttle settings and speeds.

Each to their own, hope your enjoying yours regardless of that they are a great and desirable vehicle

Let's lock in Saturday 3pm? You guys can suggest a meeting place, I don't really mind but maybe we can do a drive together after we meet.
