Spotted in London this afternoon behind Selfridges. New shape with the new grill and alloys etc. Looked amazing. Brand new, UK registered with an 09 plate.

Yeah?

Bite me Son of Satan! :twisted: - You and your LHD* can look up from the fire and brimstone pits of hell as I assend to the heavenly heights :roll:

* In no way does this formulate a pure hatred of ANY other LHD enthusiast, just that in the UK which is a RHD we should keep our nationality and fight this European ism coming through the back door

The heavenly heights of your righteous ego perhaps???? :twisted: :lol:

As for keeping your nationality pure... don't forget virtually all of the LHD drive Gs are owned by foreigners... ok excepting maybe a few dozen or two owned by Brits... :lol:

Re: Black G55 AMG 09 Plate

Yes, i think it was the same guy, but i might be mistaken, it could of been a new 320 cdi, he was having trouble with the new xenon front head lights being fitted, not being type approved? and had asked me for some help. I think he ended up changing them back to the standard flat beam type like the ones fitted to my G, and picking up the tab?

Re: Black G55 AMG 09 Plate

Hi Max,
Yep, I still need to re compress them and upload them on to the club web site, I did try one or 2 when I came back but their size wouldnt allow them to load up correctly. But I will see what I can do one evening this week?
