Welcome back Fuzzy, nah, you missed nothing :D

A lot has changed, the obvious one being the Zone has had a complete revamp ( viewtopic.php?f=1&t=277025 ) We also have a lot of new members, there are still few old skool members on here but most live on the Zone Facebook page these days.

Been bitten by the bug again yet?

I do love a C63, one of my favourite sounding cars, my mate had one for just under a year, he brought it to Oulton Park and did £500 worth of fuel and killed his brakes and tyres :rolling:

an average of 16mpg is harsh ….stretched my budget to buy one but been looking at them for a couple of years.....glad I bought it I just hope nothing breaks....
had it up to 23.4mpg on a motorway cruise at 80mph /1500rpm.....almost economical....
