Jeaysus when i got a hire car the choice was a Smart or a 106! Opted for the smart to see what they are like in london - was a hoot until i got to the motorway and second it was gay car icon of the year.....
No wonder CLK & SLK drivers let my pull out in front all the time when i drove it!!!

I must have been lucky - managed to get another S when my car was in last week for repair - an MY06. I like the new steering wheel and the seats don't squeak when fully back, other than that I was glad to have mine back though.
If I couldnt get a S, they offered me an Elise or Z4.
Luck of the draw depending on the insurance co I guess.

Have you died your roots black and bought yer designer handbag & shous to go with that?
The ultimate in Moregeousie chavdom, round these parts.
There's one around in baby blue with a baby blue interior. Talk about more credit than taste.
The C-class works perfectly well in Bremen, where they are just a d-segment motorway car, really. But over here...

Well i'm not due to get the S back untill next weekend but i've told the hire company to pick the CLK up on monday.I'm delighted that i still feel FAR too young to be comfortable in a boat like this.And i've come to the conclusion that people with automatics must hate driving!

I dunno; I hate the Jazz without the CVT, for example.
It's appropriate to herion-cars. And Barbie Borgwards too, apparently.
The S requires a good manual. Which it has, fortunately.
