Hello, Darragh,

Your dirt track in the industrial estate sounds like the kind of roads I deal with every day here in The Great Swamp, also known as "New Orleans." The C-Class will handle those things well.

Is yours an auto transmission, or a manual? I know nothing of manual boxes, but I don't think low RPM in a higher gear is a good thing to do with 'em. Is this what is known as "lugging"? Anybody know?
