MERCEDES C250 CDI 2011
DIPSTICK DAVE SHIMMEL
I have waved goodbye to the Bristol after 6 years of ownership. But she remains in WA - indeed has since been spotted speeding on Guildford Road - and is likely to get a full make-over from the new owner.
She has been replaced by Daisy, 2011 Mercedes C250 CDI. Although a somewhat smaller engine than the Bristol (2,150 cc 4-cylinder v 5,900 cc V8) Daisy is remarkably quick. She has already been to Kalgoorlie and back averaging 4.9 lts per 100 km whereas I’m not sure the Bristol would have made it from Southern Cross to Coolgardie on a full tank.
