One of those retirement things that older people look forward to has just disappeared from my to-do list, I have discovered.

I had thought that my next, (possibly last) car would be a Merc now that they have improved build quality and reliability after some years of poor performance in those areas. A friend collected his MB direct from the factory a few years ago and did the factory and museum tour, enjoyed a couple of nights in good hotels while doing a brief tour before driving back via the chunnel. He said it was a fabulous experience and I noted that for my future reference.

Mercedes discontinued the factory collection programme as of December 2012, honouring only those who had made such arrangement prior to December for early 2013 collection.

Hey-ho! Another cruise and a cheaper motor now methinks.

You can always do it the other way around like I am going to do in June......buy your new Mercedes, drive

over to Stuttgart.... do the factory and museum tour and drive back.......nearly as good surely..

Very disappointing news! I was intending to do the same this Summer when I buy my new Smart e-bike! :(
