Hi All!

On Friday my wife and I became newbie Merc owners by buying our first C-Class C270 CDI (w203). The dealer was amazingly patient with me (they must have felt like dealing with me) and helped us through the process (while my wife bartered dealer down on all the reasonable items). We have now spent 72h with the car and are absolutely loving it!
Took it for a 400mile round-trip saturday just for kicks and to stretch it's legs a little. Managed to get a healthy 44.4MPG on the way back even with giving it a bit of welly.

As the weather has not been great I have not yet taken photos however here are some from the dealer's advert for those of you that like some pix:
(pix are as attachments as for some reason I cannot add pix in-line)
