Hi. I am 57 years old and have just spent my first year with my first MB and I am hooked.It is only a 2003 Sprinter but it is fully loaded with 5 cyl turbo dieseland 5 speed full auto (not sprintshift), air con, cruise control. issri seats ABS, Air Bags etc. Yes it is an ex Ambulance and believe me if you are having a heart attack and need to go to hospital quickly you need to be in one of these things! It won't let you do a full throttle standing start because the traction control drops the engine power to stop the wheelspin! I deliver parcels in it all day now (very sedately) and would find it very difficult to go back to Toyota Hiaces' that I drove for years previously. Even after a year driving the sprinterI still occasionally turn on the wipers to make a right hand turn when Ihave a long day because I have drivern cars with theturn signal on the right hand side for 40 years. Iam now looking for an early 90's W126 MB which seem to be a great old car, can you believe they are 20 years old!I hope this will also help my turn signal problem. Cheers parmus in Australia
