I'm John, I previously owned a1999 CLK430 and recently purchased a 2007

W251 R320CDI. Lovely car to drive and super practical for lugging around all my sporting equipment. Added bonus of 4Matic for my regular ski trips.

Cheers, yes there's very few R's about. Makes it easy to find in shopping centre car parks at least.

Thank you. Love the R Class. I don't feel the same about palm trees though. They may look nice but they drop so many nuts they're a constant chore to keep them under control.
