Eastern Sydney ******* are the worst kind because they actually believe people care what they think, and they represent the whole of the "Versace wannabe culture".
I got in to a heated arguement in December 2001 with a poof and his friends at a cafe on campbell parade in Bondi beach when I was waiting for a certain American trash show host celebrity. I was driving a stretched black AU2 at the time, here is how the conversation went.

poof: get that shitbox ford out of there.
Me: What did you say?
poof: get that shitbox ford out of there; no fords are allowed to park here.
Me: What, do you want me to slap you in front of your girlfriends? This car costs 150 grand new, what do you drive a 3 year old 318?
poof: yeah so what.
Me: the shitty, 14 grand poormans BMW, based on a 20 year old floorpan that buckles whenever taken over a speed hump too hard, and has a massively powerful 4 cylinder engine?
poof: It doesn't buckle
Me: Then drive it over a speed hump at 50k's then.
poof: No
Me: because you're worried it will buckle
poof: No I'm not.
Me: Yes you are
poof: How do you know, I've never heard of it before.
Me: I work in the car industry, you hear things, you see things, and you see the results. BMW's, are one of the cheapest, slapped together China built pieces of crap out there.

By this stage his attitude had changed from being cocky to being a little worried. I proffered that he check it out on the web and he'll see examples of it. He then started the usual crap of; "I don't like fords but yours is really nice".

Anyways, I own an S class (result of a huge contract and a large profit in one financial year, needed to find a way to reduce tax liability) and can tell you that it has had the stupidest stuff ups, and if there is an intermittent fault, you can forget about it being found for the first 6 visits. The best way I can summarise the difference between ford/holden and mercedes/bmw service is;
Ford/Holden will tell you they couldn't find the problem
Mercedes/BMW tell you that the problem wouldn't show up, in a big poofy emo way.

Gee, your all class pal!
