Nice car, our C43 C class coupe in white arrives this week

On the picture discussion, the iPad was upside-down when you took the pictures (iPad's view not mine :wink, so the image has meta-data within it that tells devices that they need to rotate the image 180 degrees when displaying it.

If you right click on the image and click show in new tab it displays with the correct orientation, as it's being displayed outside of the forum HTML and CSS controls, you can view the Exif data for the image with online tools, such as the one I've used here

There is a new css img tag 'image-orientation: from-image;' but it's not supported by all browsers yet and isn't used in the forum code to display images either.

I'm guessing it will have the same drivetrain , the 9 speed gearbox is hilarious and the engine has plenty of grunt , you'll love it . The rest of what you say appears to be written in Chinese to me :lol:

Why do you describe the 9 speed box as 'hilarious'?
I was driving an 8 speed a couple of weeks back and that rendered any kind of manual paddle control useless as there were simply too many change points.

Of course 8 is perfect for economy.

Hilarious in the context of select sport plus and it bangs through the gears , blips the throttle on down change and holds the gears , 9 gears are 3 more than needed in my world , I've been driving my 340 touring for the past 6 weeks and it has the 8 speed box and try as I might , I just can't get used to so many gears . There's a great piece of road between brive and sarlat in France that's always quiet and I always take it after dropping my missus off at Limoges airport . Drove it in my old z4 and it was great , drove it in the touring and I'm finding myself looking at the dash to see what gear I'm in rather than looking to where I'm going !
I'm with you on leaving it in auto and letting it do its thing , the 9 speed seems to do it better than the 8 to be honest , knocking it down where you would with a manual and getting the engine braking into the experience .
In my analogue world that's what I find it hilarious

That's the one , I think it's funny , but it's not for driving through town like that , only on a quiet back road .

I was concerned about the colour , but it was the wife's choice , she's paid for it .
Money wise I mean , before the site pervs get to excited

Exited ? I think you maybe got a little excited when typing that , were you only using one hand at the time

I saw a C43 AMG the other day ... with the number plate C43 AMG ! It looked good but was going somewhat faster than I was !!! :evil:

 

[Paulwirral]

I parked it last night on the drive and noticed when you open the door a puddle light comes on in the wing mirror and shines brightly on the floor with the Mercedes emblem in it , it's the naffest car trinket I've ever seen , I'll take a pic tonight and post it but make sure your sat down before viewing , you may fall over laughing :lol:
I'm not quite sure how many under ten years old employees Mercedes have but they definitely have some to sign that feature off .

I forgot about these until tonight when I moved the car , I now look around before I unlock the doors just to check no one will see them and point and laugh :lol: :thumbsdown:
