Yet another newbie!
Hi all! I'm from sunny South Africa and landed here whilst researching the W204. I was planning on getting a 2008/2009 C180 or C200 but ended up getting a C350 AMG.

I previously owned a W126 300 SE and then a CLK 500 Coupe but more recently I had a BMW Z4 Roadster.

Very happy with the C so far and thanks for a great forum!

First and foremost welcome to the forum!

It looks like you've owned some nice cars in the past and are keeping that tradition going with the C350 AMG.

When you get a chance we'd love to see some pictures of all you different cars.
