Saw a C63 AMG Coupe this morning...

...and I must say it looks fecking awesome (and that's coming from a non-Merc fan).

It was in a petrol station and I couldn't help but comment to the owner how good it looked.

Didn't get a photo as I would have looked a right knob but it looked very mean indeed. Almost like a suble Black Edition jobby.

Oh, and the sound was immense, like thunder.

Wow.

The M3 should be worried (I'd imagine a lot of people buy these on looks and sound alone).

I suspect that's a good place to spot a V8 C63 Coupe - a petrol station!

The standard C-Coupe looks really nice. The guy up the road's just got one in a light greyish colour and it looks like a standard SE spec - but still looks very nice.

Some engine that 6.3 (actually a 6.2) I was horsing my mates C63 around the other day - The noise is immense. Totally immense.

You have no idea Peter...
On Saturday I 'popped out' to get some Venison for Sunday lunch. This involved a whistle stop tour of a few local game dealers. Total mileage covered: 41

Average consumption 11.7mpg

So circa 3.5 gallons for just over 40 miles.

I blame the deserted country roads myself

Not quite, but at least the AMG can handle it
