Thought I'd better introduce myself to the other diesel heads on the forum.

Finally placed an order with GH of MK for a SRT-Design in brilliant black. Decided to trade in the E-Class for something with a little more road presence plus cost wise the equivalent spec MB would be over £10K more so the 300c just makes sense.


Delivery date has not been confirmed but I'm already looking at tuning boxes


Cheers

Hello again Allan,
I see we have more in common than I initially thought - I too traded in my E Class Merc (estate) for the Chrysler - and have no regrets having had mine for 8 months now. When I saw your name come up there I thought you had perhaps had a word with your wife but that can wait for later - I anwered your posting on the Newbies side. Enjoy being on here with the rest of the crowd.
Cheers John

Welcome Allan!!! Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think you may be the first member with the UK version of a CRD SRT Design Group. Make sure to post pics when you get her.

Welcome Allan. My CRD was in GH last week having its first service; how time flies!

Have GH managed to demonstrate the SRT-D to you? I don't think there has been an official launch date for the new 300C in the UK but BigIan managed to get some snaps of one in the GH compound last week.

I believe the SRT-D BigIan photographed was allocated to the MD for evaluation purposes with mine being their first official SRT-D order.

GH have a black CRD with the full startech kit sitting in the showroom which is the exact spec I was after but their advice was to go with the 2008 model with the updated interior and factory fitted styling package.

Cheers

Hi Allen. I would get the car run-in before fiddling! I can honestly recommend taking it to Spain for the purpose, thats what I did! Into Paris with under 950 miles on the clock,over the Millau Viaduct into Spain, fill up with derv at 1Euro a litre, few beers & home! Oh and if you get the time, cruise round Narbonne in the middle of the night...... oh yeah!

Welcome. I'm very new myself had my car less than a week. A few teething problems but so far the dealer has promised to sort everything out.

Dealer phoned to say the vehicle will be arriving next week and all being well I should be driving it by next weekend.

That is excellent news - look forward to hearing your thoughts on the new car and seeing some photos - this will be our first UK SRT Design 300C (Unless someone out there knows different). Let us know when your delivery date is confirmed.
Have you spoken to your wife yet re the social calendar?
Cheers John

Welcome Allen,
It's nice to see another "local" 300C owner and a SRTD at that!
