You know you are a Mercedes Enthusiast when......

lets see what you cane come up with.

mine is.

"You know you are a Mercedes Enthusiast when you must carefully align and straighten you bonnet star so it stands perfectly straight and uniform to the front of the car, if you are driving along the road, and you notice your star is slightly out of alignment you will immediately pull over to carefully adjust and straighten your star. other motorists will notice you looking at your star from many different perspectives to ensure it is standing in the correct spot."

Des,
Have you been following me around and making notes about my little habits? That sounds very familiar!

You know you are a Mercedes Enthusiast when your driving along in you own Benz, and you happen to glance upon another Benz of the same model, and you JUST have to know exactly what engine it has so you floor your own car and tail gate the poor guy in the other Benz until he either floors it in terror or pulls over for a yarn.

I know when people try to mess with my bonnet stars, I have them always aligned perfectly, they are standing straight and tall. If they are leaning off to one side I must instantly adjust them.
A high moment for me is when the sun is shining down on the star, and it catches the light, making it shine bright and reflect back into the car. Just makes the world seem a better place, a Mercedes Benz world.

An exciting moment is going though a long tunnel and watching the roof lighting move around the star and make it sparkle....sad but true, a friend of mine once filmed the star as we when through a very long tunnel, it looked amazing!

You know you are a Mercedes Enthusiast when...............my wife suggestively asks "coming to bed?" and I say "I'm on the forum".  Now she's angry!

Seriously, just got home from work, need to catch up and my "bed time" isn't for a couple of hours at least.  Not how my body clock works honey.  
Pfft!  Better go or else.  Be back in 45 seconds.

Sorry Guys, no youtube Maybe we could try it again someday!

Oscar.....mate, when your fine lady asks are you coming to bed, it doesn't sound like she is enquirying if you are physically tired.

For a happy and harmonious home you need to keep your lady happy.

Well, apparently tonight that's exactly what it meant. So I found out.  In my absence though I was called back to work.  Then, on my way back home in my work car I know I'm a Mercedes Enthusiast when......I swing past the work garage to check that my 350 is still there. That and I know I'm a Mercedes Enthusiast when......I drive my 350 to work the long way round past shop fronts to see it's reflection in commercial plate glass windows.  I've fessed up to that one before and if memory serves me, I wasn't the only one.

laughing my head off oscar, as my wife just asked me that literally (although im too scared to say im on the forum)!

but you know you are a benz nut when your partner knows what you are talking about when you say "theres a W..."

I've found myself purposely parking in underground carparks when there is space on the street, and paying extra to do so, just so I can make loads of noise.
