Glad to see you've not had the wool pulled over your eyes. Seems it's not uncommon for customers to get big porkies on servicing these machines. Money for nothing as you can see. Hope the G's not going to get less attention with all the work on the Smart though. After all it does belong to your missus; sort of.

Haven't got a G at the moment, was looking to acquire another in the new year (not for trackdays) but those plans may be sidelined for a Lotus Elise.

Too right!   ;D  The snow's been fun in it!  :D  The missus was donutting (by accident) in our cul de sac turning circle in the snow.  lol.

Just had a good major service at a smart specialist, found 3of the 6spark plugs had never been changed ::) (full Merc history this!) and a few other things, pipercross filter and exhaust sorted.  Its running really good now its got full power back! 8)  Getting remapped in a month or two, after I locate a brabus TIK pipe for it first.  Should see about 110bhp, and around 110-120lb/ft torque.  Sounds pouncy I know, but trust me you get a big kick from it and its ssoooooo much fun, roof down of course! ;D

I like supras, you seen JamieP 1000bhp one on PH?  Awesome machine!

Yup his car is an absolute beast, i have seen some of his vids on youtube and wow what a car, i contemplated selling mine but i just cant seem to bring my self to do it. im going to get my car running the way i want it to next year. so it should be running around the 420bhp mark. The only probs is its not a sleeper peeple see it as a fast car and leave you alone, unless they themselves are hiding something.
