Reggie,

great car, excellent price. You're one lucky S.O.B....  ;)

Now for something different. One reason some people find your posts hard to read is the absence of Capital letters. Try using the SHIFT key occasionally, at the start of sentences. You might want to experiment with .,? and ! if you're feeling brave!  ;D

And, there's a SPELL CHECK button before you post a message... that also works pretty well.

Again.... I'm really jealous of your car!

Reggie,  looks like you ended up with a very nice ride.  To bring in the other thread on this color growing on you, it didn't have to grow on me, I think it's an awesome color.  Congrats!!

Hi, Reg,

I went to high school in the African colonies and Uni in the other colonies, so I know both of them  ;D ;D

Hey Naj - I couldnt wait to get out of school which is why i bunked off the last year- i come from a poor background you know first up best dressed - i didnt have the privelige of a good education-i type with one finger so i dont bother with capitals - i know to use them with names etc ime also dyslexic if thats how you spell it ha- so if you have trouble with my spelling try to work me out. It took me 4 hours to take and put them photos on here-I get great pleasure looking at other peoples photos so i was determined to do it-We must try to meet up one day seeing your on the same island as me

Congrats!!  Looks like you got yourself a winner! 

Just curious about the interior color?  What is it called?  If there is a punch list I would add a passenger side mirror to it.  Otherwise the car is an absolute stunner!

Colour, or color, it truly doesn't matter.  The International nature of this group is what makes it so enjoyable.

Hi, Reg,

Join the MB UK Club and come to the national SL Day at Sandringham on August 8.
There are also regional get togethers and local events that you can enjoy.

http://www.mercedes-benz-club.co.uk/public/home.htm

Happy to have you here sharing your car and thoughts with us.
The group is International and most people understand what others are talking about. If in doubt, they ask, as you found out.  ::) ::)

No worries?

You are indeed one very lucky man to get a car like that sight unseen!
Please ignore the Grammar Police, anyone with a little patience can decipher your messages just fine.

Reg,

You should be pleased. Great car. Welcome to the club.

Over time, you'll find many a "working man" in the group...I think the comments were only in jest.

Nice color - our...whatever.

Enjoy!

Kevin

Not the comments by a certain mod-who pulled my reply off here.-one line about the car and a few lines about punctuation.
makes you want to not bother-but plenty of other people enjoyed the photos-so who cares  ::)
