Hi all!

I'm Todd, from Australia, and we have just bought our very first Mercedes-Benz!

After an extremely rough ordeal with Opel selling us two less than satisfactory brand new cars (which tainted our first ever and second new car experience), then leaving the country after only 11 months, it left a very bitter taste in our mouths.

Fortunately we got a bit lucky in getting out of that without losing anywhere near as much money as most, and whilst we couldn't quite get into the A45 - which the child in me so longed for, we did go ahead with the purchase of a new 2013 C300 in the Cavansite Blue with Vision Pack and AMG Sport PLUS pack. It's left me grinning for our first 3 days of owning it and our boys love watching movies on the H/K surround sound system!!

These are the pictures I took the morning after we took delivery of it. It really was very shiny until we drove it off the showroom floor into the pouring rain!

Thanks, really enjoying it, although I've started looking at things I can do with it already, and the x-pipe sounds like a really cheap, good addition!!
