Trader Dreamer: Mercedes-Benz CL65 AMG

It’s pretty strange that I’ve yet to feature a Mercedes on this site, it’s a brand I’m very fond of. There’s something about that three-pointed star on the bonnet that makes you want to progress serenely and comfortably to your destination. Older Mercedes’ delivered this very well, combined with a level of over-engineering that made their cars feel like they could last forever.

Trader Dreamer: Audi A2

You may have read my ‘Dream Barn’, on the excellent Petrolblog. Whether you did or not, one of my choices was the Audi RS4, and I claimed it was nearly the best Audi ever, but not quite, thanks to the A2. Of course this is entirely my opinion, but I’m fully prepared to justify the A2’s place above the fire-breathing RS4 in this weeks ‘Trader Dreamer’.
