Jim 2 Posted November 24, 2004 Oops :( And of course one of the many reasons why i'd never take a performance car (not that i'll ever own anything like a Merc CL65) to the dealership.. i've read sooo many horror stories. Its easy to understand why you guys do it, don't get me wrong.. but i'd just rather it wasn't my car ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted November 24, 2004 Imagine making that phone call... "Hello Mr Smith... we have some bad news regarding your £97,000, 6 month old SL55 AMG that was in with us for an oil change." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevemac 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Imagine making that phone call... "Hello Mr Smith... we have some bad news regarding your £97,000, 6 month old SL55 AMG that was in with us for an oil change." From memory, it was a 190E 2.3-16v "Cosworth". The guy wasn't very impressed - it took us 4 months to get hold of another one & we had to lend him a new 300E until his new car arrived. Our mechanic either took a corner too quickly or stood on the power too early - he lost the car into a ditch & bent the bodyshell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevemac 0 Posted November 24, 2004 Yeah - it was a while ago. Back in the days of "acid house" parties & the "Hacienda" (club in Manchester for those who don't remember the good times. :-P ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
