Can't argue with any of that, although the interior is exactly the same as the SLK... Literally interchangeable  ;D

If you do fancy a Crossfire, one thing that it does offer that the SLK doesn't, is a manual option for the 3.2 V6.

200+ bhp and a manual box will make for a pretty entertaining car 8)

I do quite fancy one
1. They're cheap
2. They're not one of the usual names
and . .
3. They're ugly bastards
 ::)

Yes they're cheap and unusual, but I don't think they're that ugly?  ???   I could live with one.  :y

Used car prices are crazy.

A year or two ago I would see Signum's going for a few hundred. Now they are selling for £2000-£4000. :o :o :o :o

WBAC are now offering me over a grand for my Mondeo!  ;D

I forget now what their first offer was 6 months or so ago, but I was insulted!  >:(  Something like £550...  :-\                        ;D

EDIT: Just checked and they offered me £500 at the beginning of October last year. 

So I think the moral of the story is to put your new car into WBAC as soon as you buy it, and maybe by the time you come to sell it they will have come up to a reasonable level.  ::)  ;D

I paid £700 for Pierre nearly three years ago. When I reinsured it a few weeks ago they valued it at £1925.  ;D
Where is that box of Swan Vestas.  :D

Gordon Keeble is much faster than Bertie. :)

Albitz could have saved himself £700 by winning a tortoise, much like winning a goldfish in a plastic bag. ;D ;D
