Great thing about Scotland is you only get 2 lanes so it's not an option. There is usually a queue in lane 2 at busy times as a van or lorry wants to go 1 mph faster than the lorry in front thus causes chaos.
Tbh up here that is the biggest issue

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Lol - shows you how different we are... Those are quality cars, no doubt, and super-reliable, but also BORING as hell!
The only Japanese cars I'd own is a Honda Civic Type R, or a Nissan GT-R. The rest are for pee-soaked pensionersAlthough I'd concede that Grant's jalopy is quite cool...
Give me a nice BMW M3/M4, or preferably an Audi RS [whatever - they're all superb] any day!
Don't rate modern Mercs....
Marco.

Any reason why?
Shame you're not closer to me as i'd take you out in a C63S, E63S or when we get one in, a GT R.
But, i will say that the build quality was a country mile better on the old Mercs than it is now.
Getting into bed with Renault was never going to work well.
Funnily enough i've never heard one of our sales people mentioning that a lot of the range have French engines and share rather a lot of other parts.
