My daily schlep into work (50 miles each way) was painless this morning. The schools go back on Monday so I only have another 3 journeys to look forwards to until the roads turn into an attachment to the office namely: a wholly unsavoury and, avoid-if-at-all-possible affair.
It did give me plenty of opportunity to admire some very attractive machinery on the roads. I am wondering whether the gathering of car owners blatting up and down the M40 and M25 this morning are all childless - there seemed to be a noticeable incidence of coupe’s and sports cars. I saw x2 Gallardo’s, a 997 GT3 RS and a 599. Exotic cars.
It was a white C220 CDi Sport which caught my attention the most. It’s the first time I’ve seen the new model on the roads. What a pretty car. If I was in the market for a 4 door saloon (which I may be in late summer this year) that would be it. I wouldn’t even bother walking to the BMW or Audi showrooms. With the sport kit it is hardly discernable from the AMG version either (pictured). Great if you own a C220 Sport, but not if you paid another 40-odd grand for the AMG version….
