This isn't a full on goodbye as my other half still has a MK2 Octavia but I am no longer a Skoda owner.... I have recently acquired a brand new E-Class estate and enjoying it so far!

 

I am just wondering if people could steer me in an equally useful direction to a Mercedes owners forum as Briskoda has been for me here?

Does anyone know anything about the Merc forums?

@silver1011 was looking at and possibly bought a merc reasonably recently. he may have a lead on a decent one

@VRS_Dan I'm over on MBClub, a friendly place but not a patch on Briskoda. Skoda owners are a lot closer to motoring normality and are more into function over form.

My affair with Mercedes-Benz was brief, but my W212 was a very good car...

 

 

COVID meant my annual mileage went from 30,000 miles to around 2,000 miles so my need for a reliable fuel efficient diesel saloon ended.

 

So I replaced it with a 16 year old 3.5 V6 minivan freshly imported from Japan, like you do!

Wow, what a change that is! I do see the logic to it though.

 

I have always found what i need here on Briskoda so wont close my account, particularly as there is still a MKii Octy in the family but also just for the general helpful advice and giggles!

 

I Will check out the MBClub, see what its like, thanks!

Briskoda - come with or for a skoda, stay for the banter....
