parello9 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Oh yess That is epic Colin!! Message me again when shes up for sale in sometime haha! Seriously luvley motor Quote
Humpy Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Very nice Colin and for some reason did not expect this as replacement to GUNS. Very nice pocket rocket with a Charge speed rear Quote
Rock_Steady Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Love the A45 AMG. Ballistic speed with good looks to boot. Excellent choice sir she's a beaut!! Quote
Wasso Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 So you've joined the 18 year old "Hot Hatch" crew I expected you to get a grown up car but clearly the spirit is still alive. Good on ya Colin a choice I wouldn't have expected, but a nice car for sure. Enjoy....... Do you live in Dubai? I wish I had a car like that when I was 18. I had a Nova SR and loved it. Well the 18 year old reference was purely for the hot hatch, unless like you say having rich parents gets you up the brand ladder. Quote
Bockaaarck Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Colin, that looks bloody fantastic, what a terrific car! Really impressed by the info I've read about this. You've got an amazing set of wheels there! Quote
Keyser Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Very nice mate Really like your interior as well that is very Great piece of machinery Quote
Ekona Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Well, I'd never have picked that as your next motor Colin! Fair play sir, be very interested to see how you get on with this. Quote
LRF4N Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Nice car Colin. Love the red touches inside Quote
spursmaddave Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Only thing I don't like too much on the new Mercs is the info centre, looks like an iPad stuck on with Velcro, bit out of place... I'm sure I could put up with it in such an obviously fantastic car though 1 Quote
glrnet Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Forget all that Dave, just been out in it and WOW! Don't know that Joy and June were over impressed though!! Lol Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear 1 Quote
LRF4N Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Dave completely agree. A lot of the new mercs have that Quote
nissanman312 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Forget all that Dave, just been out in it and WOW! Don't know that Joy and June were over impressed though!! Lol Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear i bet it puts the power down well with the 4 wheel drive Quote

Ebized Posted January 9, 2015 Author Posted January 9, 2015 Still running it in at the mo, but the grip is insane and I thought the 370 with the MPSS on was good, but this is another league and on Continentals of some description. Might take me 12 months to understand all the info you can access though but can't wait to test out the launch control...and no limit on the number of times you can use it - apart from the hit on the wallet for new tyres . Oh the car won't let you if the oil, water and gearbox fluid are not up to temp. Taking a bit to get use to the headlight and wiper controls on a single stalk and with the cruise control on another stalk just underneath as well as flicking the downshift paddle - all on the left hand side and then there is the control for the Comand on the tunnel so my left hand is still kept very busy even though there is no gearlever But I like a challenge and the 's are well and truly back.

KyleR Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I love these cars and yours is specced perfectly from he looks of it, however I ran into a problem last week when I had the chance to jump into one, albeit not an A45, where my knee hits the steering wheel when I release the clutch. No matter how high I put the wheel or adjust the seat, there is just no way I can be comfortable and not hit my knee. It's really unfortunate because I'd love one. However, having an auto would solve that problem Quote

However, having an auto would solve that problem As the A45 AMG's don't have clutches you would be fine More seriously, the seat adjustment and the column adjustment both up and own and in and out means it is very easy, even for me at 6' 2", to find a comfy driving position.
