Not a bike but my new Merc'
« on: January 30, 2014, 20:59:49 »
Here's my 'daily driver' a Mercedes Benz ML250 AMG Sport (with optional 20" alloys, like Your do) & poncey private plate.

I picked this up on Sunday the 1st of September and got my Glee on Monday the 2nd. There is a lot to be said for not having kids  :)
It's pronounced 'twenty-one-twelve'

Yes, it's a really relaxing drive, so quiet. It's decent on fuel too, I'm getting 36mpg around the door and 40mpg on a run, which is not bad for a two ton 4x4. It can park itself too, which is really weird...

Surely you could have gone for a Northern Ireland plate and got 2112BRY

Lovely looking car that Bry, even shinier than I remembered :)))

I did actually have a brief search for a 2112 related plate but couldn't find anything suitable.

Cheers Dave, it's a chore keeping it clean because it shows every mark.
