Sleeping in an S-Class

Climate Expert

Renting one of these babies (so newish) in the next few weeks and I was thinking of using it as my tent/hotel room at a festival and in the city. Good idea or bad idea?

lol, good idea - if your not too old.

Slept in my Almera before, better than the floor

I would wager the S-class would be far superior for comfort.

I'm going to have duvet with me as well. I'm a fussy enough sleeper so this could be disastrous.

Brilliant! Sounds like a great idea to me

The S Class probably costs more than my first flat and I am positive it will be better furnished.

Sure, but it'll get muddy/dirty at the festival. You'd be better of in a van or a truck with a covered flatbed with an air mattress. Particularly if you pull back to the car
Remember a bottle for wee.

Word of advice, make sure you don't have the key in the ignition or infact anywhere visible while sleeping, I have heard of people being done for drink driving in this way by Gardai as there's the assumption that you will drive.

Tipsy mac is bang on there. but your S class might just be keyless, so **** all chance the guards know that the credit car your waving about is actually a key.

LOL, would you not just rent a Micra and then sleep in a 5 star hotel? You might even have some money left for drink, coke and hookers too

Not that we in the motors forum condone such behaviour!

OP, if the temp drops at night, cars aren't exactly great for keeping the heat in.

Not to mention the smell of spilt wee and crotch all over them shiny leather seats :eek:

Bluefoam

Make sure you get the front passenger seat, most comfortable place to sleep IMO.

Indeed I will. Your money goes far in Berlin.

Even JayKay dosen't sleep in his Rolls Royce when he goes to festivals. Saw a pic of his car with a tent beside it.

I'd say S.I.R is an alcoholic.

Back on topic, I slept in my Micra before, it was surprisingly comfortable, and it was the middle of winter aswell! I'd say an S-Class would be even hundred times better. Go for it!

Sure looks comfy (big pic). If I had no option but to spend the night in one yeah ok, I wouldn't be too happy but heh to each their own. Just cover up the seats. :pac:

After much analysis I think he means that he often sees people on their lunchbreak from work taking a power-nap in their S-classes.

Its not something I'd do in a populated area or near drunk people.

Having seen this:

There's no way I'm ever buying an apartment - that looks far more comfortable.

This slept about 15 people at the Guinness Fleadh, NY back in "97. Never did find out who the stank cnut was who had prunes and beans for dinner :mad:

I slept in a W126 S-Class once, years ago. TBH, it wasn't anything like as comfy as you'd think. No car is a good place to sleep in, but if you really must then get something like a C5 estate.
