Well the scoob should be gone on Sunday. (Assuming the coolant leak isn't anything more sinister!). It is a very sad time, I have had the car coming up 3 years. This is impressive as previously I'd never owned a car more than 3 months and in 5 years driving I've had 13 or so cars! I think this just shows how impressive the car was and the support that came through here when I had issues.

Saying that it is an opportunity to get something else and have a bit of change. I dare say I will back in the scoob fold again in the future either with a 2.5 hawkeye or alternatively a classic as a 2nd car to mess about with.

So, as to the replacement. I have found something that seems to tick a lot of boxes at the moment. A 2003 Merc CLK55 AMG? My annual mileage is going to be low now and insurance is surprisingly cheap. (I already know about the Valeo radiator issues for any smarty pants out there!)
