Hi, the name is Andy. I have just swapped in my 2017 Mercedes C200 AMG Line Premium for a 2020 Polo GTI +.
Why ? I hear you say, well the last service + transmission fluid change was over £1,100.
New set of tyres also needed as current ones just starting to show ageing cracks, another £600+ at least.
We only cover about three thousand miles a year so that makes expensive motoring. Shame really as I have had MB's on and off since 1993. I am now retired and need to be a bit more mindful of where money is going.
Had a few VW's over the years too, the last being an EOS back in 2008 which was a pain with the unstoppable water leaks. We picked on a VW because we know that running cost's are affordable unlike MB.
I hope I haven't pirated someone else's thread but I couldn't find an 'Introduce yourself' thread. If that is the ase perhaps a Moderator could put this in the correct thread
Hi Everyone!

Re: Hi Everyone!
I have been trying to place a picture in my Avatar but it rejects it because it is too large. I am not a computer buff so is there a simple way that a layman can do it ?

Re: Hi Everyone!
I must be missing something, followed instructions on the Avatar page and nothing happened. Copied your modified picture to My Picture, went to 'Browse', double clicked the relevant picture and nothingPOLO Clive wrote: ↑Thu Oct 27, 2022 8:11 pmMake it smaller Andy, copy this one if you can.
