'02 C230 Kompressor Sports Coupe in Citron Green
Pics of Two Citron Green Cars

This past weekend while driving my 2002 C230 in Columbus, Ohio I saw another Citron Green C230!

In 23 1/2 months of having the car I've seen a Citron Green car twice on the other side of the interstate. For the first time ever I got to meet the owner of another Citron Green car, and to take pictures of our cars togehter.

My car is the beat 70,000 mile car on the left, the one on the right is a 2002 from Columbus, OH and has "only a few thousand miles on it".

Is your left rear wheel different from the rest? The other three looks like the C7 wheels, and the driver rear looks like the older wheel? Or are my eyes deceiving me?

You are correct, I had a flat on my way from Philly, PA to Columbus, OH. Luckily I always carry a full sized spare/wheel whenever I travel more then 100 miles!

C320 Coupe
that is a good idea....that's one thing i strongly dislike about the coupes - they only have puny 16" donut spare tires. and they're a b*tch to air pump and stuff when you actually have to use them.

btw, where in philly are you? i go to school in the city, so i'm right near center city in university city.

I think that's what you start to see when you drink too many vodka grasshoppers.....



Just kidding Citron people.

Actually, I envy anyone that doesn't have to attach a plate to their Coupe's front bumper.
