My new VR6 Storm. Mystic Blue 50k miles!

[oxfordpaul 0]

Hi all, just thought I'd put up a couple of pics of my new car. It's getting dark so they're not the best but you get the idea. I sold my VR6 and was very sad to see it go as it was mint but a few days later the owner of this Storm rang me. Believe it or not, I'd left my name and number on his windscreen ages ago and he called up. It needs a service and some bits of touch-up but is basically mint. I have all the MOT's to prove mileage and FSH up till 2002 with VW. It needs new suspension as it's gone soggy but would you replace with originals or lower it (looks as if it's on stilts compared to my previous one which had Koni's!!). I don't know whether or not I'll keep it as the reason for selling my last one was the purchase of another car so I've now got to decide which one to keep!

Just don't let on how much you paid for it and then try and sell it at the going rate or you'll get abuse.

I paid the going rate considering I bought it with no MOT or tax and it needed a total valet plus it needs servicing and who knows what else with a VR!! The other car is an SLK AMG which is probably not most people's cup of tea on here so you'll all say keep the Storm! The SLK does 0-60 in 5.2 seconds and I've never had that kind of performance - it's amazing!! That's why I sold my other VR cos I fancied a change and sold some shares. Now though I just feel the Storm is a real one off with the low miles....decisons decisons!! No it doesn't have aircon by the way. What stereo should it have? It has a Sony CDX-C860 RDS - but the brochure says different? Any other Storm owners with this stereo?

Mmmmmmmm

 

 

Very difficult decision in my eyes. I love Mercs.

Pfft SLK, common as muck! Keep the Storm!

 

 

 

 

 

 

But seriously tho, keep whichever one you like the most, nearly everyone on here will say keep the rado but at the end of the day it's you that has to live with the decision so stick with whichever car you prefer. Make sure you sort out the suspension with the rado first tho so you can give it a fair chance against the benz before deciding.

Lovely Storm! Have you got a pic of the merc? And anymore pics of the storm - interior etc.

 

I live in Oxford too - will have to look out for you, are you north, south, east.... I know there is a mystic storm in Headington that I have had my eye on. If you ever decide to sell, please let me know I am probably just round the corner - this would tempt me back to rado ownership (so please PM me if you decide to sell it)! If I buy another C it will have to be a storm (got a polo now for a daily commute too).

 

I recon you should keep it though, such a rare car in with this mileage - you will really regret it. I really regret selling mine (just the cost of running the thing was a nightmare, but I have a short memory). I also drive my girlfriend mad pining after C's everytime I see one. My friend who has a C came down to my surprise 30th party on Saturday and borrowed his mates diesel because he knew that I would be able to sniff out a C in a 5 mile radius and know something was up.

 

Look forward to seeing more pics!
