Only 2 more sleeps and your 6 month wait will finally be over! Red Ken took 7 months to get to me but admittedly a large chunk of that was waiting for Mercedes to decide to put Hyacinth Red back in their paint robots so I could secure a production slot. You've chosen the fastest colour, I'm reliably informed a red 43 will give a grey 63 a run for its money
Looking forward to reading about your first impressions (you may want to start collecting superlatives in readiness). Also let us know which tyres have been fitted since some new owners are reporting their cars are now arriving with all-season tyres.Congrats Andrew, great they are all coming through now
I had a 43 vs 350d argument in my head the whole time I was waiting for mine. After having it 2 weeks, I'm really impressed with the 3 litre diesel..
I've not really experienced the judder / clonking thing in anger (yet). I know how I can make it happen though. If I come out of a parking space I've backed into and pull out on full lock, going faster than I'm comfortable with, it does sort of skip forward. But I'm taking it relatively easy and, where I can, avoiding completely full lock. I've never really liked going full lock, the amount the wheels turn on some cars, like the GLC, just seems unnatural to me! In 2002 I had a C Class and that was the same..
I don't mind the stop start thing, my Audi had it so I'm used to it AND it's a very good stop / start, starts immediately and as the engine is so flipping quiet, I hardly notice the difference....
I love that red, so look forward to the pictures in May when the sun next shines again haha

Thanks for all your good wishes , I'm still trying to figure out how everything works but it's great fun to drive more like a gocart than a SUV . I took a couple of pictures but I'm not much of a photographer.
