Jermal's DC5... Now Dat C250 AMG

Messages
25,724
What a day yesterday was. After a week of built up excitement waiting to pick up my new car, D day finally arrived. Hatton and I embarked upon a mammoth 550 mile round trip to pick up the successor to my beloved 30AE CTR. I was a little worried I might crash and die on the way home having been on call the previous night and working until five in the morning, but I struggled on and although lonely, the ride home was immense (The M6 toll road was worth the money Ben ;) ).

Anyway, some pictures:

I love it. The car is truely mint and im sure you'll keep that up Tone. It was a long old journey yesterday, but an enjoyable one at that! M6 toll FTW! Birmingham went by quicker than I thought :cool:

Bring it round so we can clean it mate :)
 
Good choice Tony,

Much of an upgrade over the EP3 thou?
I personally think so. In terms of power, probably not (although it does seem to keep pulling when my EP3 would be struggling at higher speeds). Everyone knows the EDM get's stiffed and that's where the DC5 is evidently better. LSD, Hydraulic steering, HID lights, the list go's on. The DC5 is more of a complete car and just feels like it's been built better than the EP3.
 
Yum Yum, mini meet soon then :smt047

I think magnolia is easy to keep clean, as long as you do it once a week :p
