    Hes a little bit mad .No he picked it up for a good price and i guess the merc needed a little more power. How do you think the exhaust will go either side Matt?

    Rovercare any comments on Merc 180C
    up here I dont get many good second hand cars and I have found a 1999 180C with 75000 ks on it it looks perfect and I need something to replace my wifes old Subaru. Prices seems ok for where I live
    Are they a good thing or a bad thing.

    Interesting, dirty and weird. German styling, British power and a little japanese thrown in for good luck.



    djam1 - Pete (RedOctober) on here is a merc mechanic for a living. I am sure he would be happy to answer your questions if you send him a PM.
