Found myself in North Cornwall this weekend, and hooked up with fellow members CossieConnoisseur (Nick) & his dad BigBen (Brian)!

They had a special treat in store...

Yes, the Blauschwarz 2.5-16 is Nick's ultimate garage queen.
Now that i have seen this car in the flesh, i'm certain i'll never see another 16v
this good. Breathtaking.
Any of you visiting MB World next year will hopefully see this exact car on display (and share my viewpoint)!
The 16" Carat by Duchatelet wheels suit it perfectly, and look amazing (still shod with period-correct tyres).

The Almandine 2.5-16 is the Daily Driver, and BigBen took me for a (very) quick blast in it.
I now (obviously) want one, and spent the journey back to London banging on about it to
my ever-patient GF...

Good to meet you guys, I'll be in touch soon! ;)

Yes, it's Bude.
My pocket digital camera is the Panasonic Lumix LX1, with Leica lens & 8.4 MegaPixels.
I really like it, but tbh i wish it had a proper viewfinder and not just a screen.
Mind you, it's still good for a 25MB RAW File!

I was born in Lancashire :lol:
I think perhaps my Mrs was trying to illustrate the 'hewn from solid rock' quality of the W201...?
