Hi,
Luckily only costs about £25 for 90 litres of super unleaded where we live!
It is only running in right now but fuel computer is showing average consumption since purchase of 14.2 mpg!
Cheers
Steve

Actually - we moved to Abu Dhabi and live there now! (Need to change location on my forum signature!)
Interestingly there are loads of Merc AMGs of all models in Abu Dhabi but far less in Dubai.
Dubai tends to be more Ferraris, Porsche, Bentleys, Lambos are rarer exoticars!
Our ML63 has the AMG performance pack as standard - so is 557hp - very rapid for an SUV!
Cheers
Steve

Hi,
It might be a 4WD - but it is certainly not an off roader!
Definitely not a farm vehicle!
The wheels and tyres are huge and far too wide for sand dunes!
It is great for these fast, dangerous roads - radar cruise control (with auto braking), loads of airbags, brake assist, blind spot assist, lane change assist etc. etc.
Cheers
Steve

Nice motor. Chap at work has the previous model with the last of the 6.2.V8's but so far yet to see him put his foot down and release that awesome soundtrack.

Hi,
Nothing lowly about a C63 AMG wagon! - Awesome dog carrier!

My wife has already slightly kerbed the front wheels - so needed to get protection fitted today.
Got these Rimblades fitted at the Yas circuit, this afternoon



They look very Billy Boy - but don't look out of place in this country and should save the alloys!
Cheers
Steve
