I saw one today near where I live, reg plate, wait for it, CL 55 AMG and it was driven by an aul lad. But he had a bit of class.

Sorry no pic but I'll keep an eye out for it over the next few days.

Although my dream car is a CL55 (I'm 38) there's a CLS55 around these parts (Ringsend) that made me wet me pants when it roared off, I thought it was WWII and a spitfire was going by, sex sound.

Now I'd have a 500 anyday sexy sexy car but there's no room in the back, prefer me S as it's got acres of room but you can't get 2 suitcases in the boot. I'd suppose when you can buy them new you're not worried about things like that, were the rest of us are.

oh and EDIT I think the new CL is lovely, much prefer the front, now if ya could attach those lights to the old CL perfect harmony.

Check this out, can anyone identify it cos I'm in love:

On the topic of retarded badges, there's a CLS doing the rounds with a CLS55 badge on the left and an AMG badge on the right, but no side V8 Kompressor badges and only two exhausts. :rolleyes:

Aye, I saw a Mercedes S600 CDI before on the M50 a few months back. Who are these idiots?

Don't think there's 5.5 litre diesel in the merc range think the 320 cdi is as big as it goes.

The biggest diesel in RHD cars is the 320CDi. They do a 420CDi on the continent but I had never heard of the 600CDi !!

There's a guy out near me who was swanning around in his CL, badged as a CL65 AMG V12 BiTurbo, with all the correct badging, however it was a 55 AMG V8 Kompressor and you can tell so easily from the sound. During a conversation with the guy valetting the car I pointed this out, it has "V8 Kompressor" written on the speedo !

Anyway the owner came along and decided to stand his ground, claiming tha dash had been replaced incorrectly and all sorts of crap. I pointed out the wheels, which are anthracite on a 65, nope he still stood his ground !

One of the guys cleaing it opened the bonnet, so I sprinted around and pinted out that he was missing two cylinders and two turbos, but somehow had gained a Supercharger !!

A complete tosser !!

If I had a 55 AMG I would be very proud of it, in fact I prefer the V8 Superchgarged engine !!

Looks like the reg is 06 D 8900, so not a normal D 89, but not far off it

Could have been taken in the rear view mirror, and then reversed the photo?

Seth Brundle

He could be a passenger in a LHD car!

Look like he was stopped in traffic at the time !!

Biggish gaps between cars... I don't think so.

Without wanting to rain on the parade, am I the only one who thinks too many people are taking risks just to have a photo to post here?

Actually I thought that as soon as I saw it. I was trying to figure out why the focus was out but could not see anything at that point to attract the autofocus system in the camera . . . . I'll get me anorak . . . .
