Hi Everyone, my name is Bertram , i live all the way down in South Africa, Johannesburg. I only bought my new Merc less than a year ago and enjoying the ride every single time !
Its nothing fancy, its a C250 AMG , 2012 model. Just Love the way it looks in profile
I have a W123 230E that my late father bought as a new car in 1985 and an R129 SL500 that my uncle who no longer drives, bought as a new car in 1994. Opposite ends of the spectrum I know, but they’re both mighty fine cars.
Both are very original and low mileage - the 230E has done 212,000km and the SL500 has just clicked 129,000km.
Cheers,
Michael

Those cars seem in ridiculous condition!
And a DS... lots of fun going on down there.
Thanks Frederick. None are even restored, although the DS was repainted about 25 years ago. We have pretty good weather conditions here, so cars survive quite well, especially if they’re garaged and respected.

Hi new member here, I dont own an MB yet but hope too soon, at present i have a Lotus Carlton and an Audi RS2 but am really looking probably to sell the Carlton and go for a C63 507 in the near future. Im from the UK (West Country) but work overseas in Asia.
Bought a GLC 300 suv 2017. All went well until two weeks ago when I was using "send to Benz" and went to the Mercedes Benz App to find POI to retrieve address. No POI.
Had dealer upgrade navigation but still not working.
Any help would be appreciated.
I should close on a CPO 2015 CLS400C4 this week. Really excited - lunar blue with silk beige, espresso interior. The car has a wood steering wheel, same burl Walnut as the trim, P2, active multicountour driving seat, spoiler, split-folding rear seats, Lane Tracking package as well as Parking assist and Wheel package. I will post photos once I pick up the car.
Hello everybody, Just recently became a new owner of a AMG CLA 45. live in Toronto, Ontario. Not sure if anybody out there is from here but would like to know about vintage car shows and MB clubs.
AMG BADGE DOESNT MEAN ITS REAL AMG huge differences

JUST WANTED TO SAY PLS DONT CONFUSE AMG WITH AMG STYLING PACKAGE ...THERE IS HUGE DIFFERENCE IN REAL AMGS AND AMG STYLING PACKAGE
1. AMG ENGINES ARE V8S yours is a c250 so imguessing its either a 4 cylinder 2.1 litre or 4 cyl 2 litre turbo
2YOU HAVE THE AMG BADGE ON YOUR CLUSTER your car wont have amg badge on your cluster cuz its not real amg...maybe the dealer just put an amg badge on your car doesnt mean its real amg
AND YOU HAVE MORE FEATURES WITH YOUR CLUSTER INCLUDING SYNO MODE AND LAP TIMES ETC...
however your car is beautiful..i really like the look of the facelift models
very nice ride white looks very nice
