I'll be helping a family friend to look for a new car soon and I was wondering what you all would recommend? She's 24YO and does quite a bit of city driving. The budget's around $25-$30K.... It's gotta look trendy with all the mods cons for a young girl, plus be safe and reliable with a good...

I got this pic from Facebook. Very, very nice 6.9 steering wheel and instruments!!! With some tasteful alterations:

It's only a 280 and it's full of rust, yet people still want it! :eek: Looks like it'll sell for more than what 450s were going for not that long ago.... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/221018631340?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Considering the high prices for W116s and W107s...

I bought this off Ebay and found it facinating.... :D

Does anyone know if there's a size difference??? I suspect the 6.3 one is bigger, even though the engine isn't..... :confused::rolleyes:

Seems like an older video, but I like!! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5kM78bKy_E

What haven't manufacturers adopted DAB+ radio in cars??? Although the sound is compressed, I doubt it'd be worse than MP3 and you have the benefit of helpful info transmitted in the signal.

Looks real nice and affordable too!! It may even come with 4WD.... :cool: http://www.autonews.com/article/20120419/OEM04/120419875

I don't like the round headlights, but the rest is WOW!!! What great lines..... :cool:

I posted this thread a while ago about the Hammer, but sadly there's no 0-100kmh figures... http://www.topklasse.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2834&highlight=amg+hammer

Has anyone tried this?? Thoughts? http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/andyspatch/rust.htm I have some concerns re hyrdogen embrittlement on structural items....

Ok Motec do your stuff!!!! :D

Thanks Motec for that very quick response!!! Not much difference with kW, but the 320 has a lot more torque... I wonder if the 320 was heavier and that could explain the apparent slowness?(!) :)

Which one would go harder, or are they about the same??? :rolleyes:

Just another reason.... On FB I've selected MBA as an interest and as a result, I get their news feed. There's a nice video preview of the new SL65, but it seems I cannot add a link to it from here.... damn!! :(

Well boys n girls I hope you're sitting down!! I was at Silver Star in Doncaster today to see what's still available and for how much. All prices are full retail (I can get a trade discount; lucky me!?): 1163271881 front strut upper mounts $406.95ea, 1163271481 rear strut upper mounts...

Does anyone know if MB anodized any parts back in the late 70s?? I'm wondering about the engine fan blades and the damn 'brightwork' around various parts of the exterior.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing I've heard the only way to remove it is with very corrosive acid, which could...
