steveolkinevel Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 I live in the countryside so the roads are rough as a badgers crack! the standard ride is quite harsh when your not used to it but i think with standard type r seats it would be different, the recaros are pretty solid,Yasar i have to disagree with you on the tyres, when i got mine it had 4 bridgestone potenzas on, omfg never in my life have i driven a car with such w****r tyres! In the wet it was completely pointless! Ive put softer toyos on now and the difference is night and day, so much better and alot cheaper to.Running costs, my out goings on the ctr are less than the MB, insurance is about 350 quid cheaper and im getting anything upto 41mpg.No not had anyone near in an mb6 as i had the only one within an hours drive from me which was nice as i wasnt passing the same car as mine everyday, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd deffo be keeping that, you lucked out there mate!Lovely car, needs an anodised red tow hook and a JDM as FVck sticker though... Will this be making an appearance at the cruise in Carlisle on Sat night? If so will we be having a play on the A roads en route?
