Hi Everyone!

Post by Andy D »

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. :roll:

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

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 ?

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 nothing :)
