I am a member of MBClub Forum in the UK ( C43AMG) as you are DRBC.

I sold my C43 to BlackC55 of the same forum ( Olly) He has the garage PCS.

I now have a CL55AMG Kompressor, but still log on to the C43 section. Hope you don't mind me trespassing.

Hnmm, what do you mean by that? I guess when you get our age, if you have racing in your blood, you always aim to have a fast car in the garage

A few of us may be in our 60's but it doesn't mean we're dead...at least not yet

That's why my kids (adults) call me "Superalurus Rex" because I'm always moaning about something

I think it is cool because alot of people in my country (holland) are boring. the older they get the more boring their cars are getting. offcourse there a few exceptions. And yes I really love cars I am always busy with them or thinking about one. I want to drive and own as many mercs as I can. I am planning on doing nice stuff to my c36 next summer.

Yes, a piece of AMG history. Just make sure the "steel worms" don't get a grip and have a feast on the structure

I think the everyday w202/w203's have the younger crowed covered. Most younger kids don't even know what this car is, unless they have an AMG addict for a parent. I would never let my teenager drive a RWD car with 300+ HP and a top speed limited to 155mph. That is just asking for trouble. IMO.

I think it has more to do with the fact that these cars still cost $6k+ unlike the older Subaru's, Honda's, etc... that someone younger could easily afford. Not that $6k+ is a ton of money but most people 20 and younger are probably making minimum wage (or close to it) and it is a lot easier to save $2k and pick up a Honda rather than a car that costs $6k+ (not to mention the gas )
