Never driven one. What they like Gareth?

I'd hazard a wild guess here & answer on Gareth's behalf that his opinion on the Merc is that its a bit of a guzzler!!! LOL!

GARETH T

its very nice for pottering around, and a little blast up the straights, but it dont give me any confedence to fling it through a few corners, it does start to understeer very easy! the gearbox is a little slow for a spirted run!

i do like the car though,, and im not the biggest fan of open tops as im ugly, but it would be a cool machine for driving everyday

GARETH T

i borrowed another car now,, this one is much much better,, i havent found a downside to it yet,, its a '07 335 SE (not the derv)

Andreas

Nice one.

Anyone care to bet how long before we see photos of a borrowed Ferrari?

GARETH T

not soon enough my friend

Terry Tibbs

How does one acquire such vehicles? or are the bribes of male to male pleasure too much for such a young lad to take in?

Rhys

Fuck me what garage you robbing these off?


THat Merc is built for cruising around at slow speed lol. Cool motor...



The BMW well you know what i think of them

GARETH T

female to male pleasure
