Yeeeah but when AMG gets in it's not like a big sedan anymore. We'll enjoy S AMG but C AMG will give us way more fun, so it's not the S class
and why would we buy S instead of C
W140 was the last king

But e38 with 4 spoke wheel, just like this
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...nterior_96.JPG
+ wooden MT knob is just answer to my feelings

Lower the seat, put it back, relax and steer that 4 spoke
Only reason I would buy an old BMW is that steering, exactly that one
There are some other 4 spoke versions too, not those

-

D2 is just different

How it stands on the road is amazing
To be honest I never saw a S8 d2 in US until like couple weeks
First time I saw one here. It was S too
Black on black
Still amazing

Crazy.
Grandfather from Europe is soooo fun to listen
No matter what, even they don't like cars, they always will have some nice car stories hahaha
Usually they had WV or Audi

To not like an Audi there is......... no such a thing like that haha
and not loving an Audi A6 Avant too

By the way I saw the new S6 on the way home
Got +1 from me, loved it on tha road

Yes, I like the Avatar a lot! Well done.

The Tea Room picture looks like a place I used to go to in Paris.

Yes, I went there for business, but stayed an extra week for pleasure.

Actually, I've been to London, Amsterdam, Paris and Munich twice.

Headlights by JnC
Thanks to cut, I always remember how soft the suspensions are






0 to 60 / Looks like both came out to 6.3 or something
Also took a video of 4th gear run too, will take another one after I install that spacer
Same time, same place, same gas



4th gear, sorry for the greek song

Roar

Time for gas

swoosh Redline really really changed the shifting. So easy to notice

and the vibration because of the engine mounts got lower
I got used to it of couser but definitely got lower since I don't hear anything shake anymore
but!!!
when it rains, I do
I don't know because of humid or what but after or during rain, sterring + some other parts vibrate crazy
will tighten-up the bolts again right after rain one day

Battery seems to work good, well if I leave the doors open and lights on while cleaning the car, it dies again
Did clean and sprayed that thing to + - cables whatever
No corrosion but still something drains it
F. it
Sure it's the remote start but I need that for now haha

It's awesome, Morgan. I would really suggest London or Amsterdam. The people in Paris do not like Americans.

Honestly, I have no desire to go to France, but London, Sweden, and Germany are up at the top of the list.

Amazon, baby!
And you don't have to give me credit, it was OUR brainchild.
But thank you! I am wondering now, that picture above looks like the more goldish bronze color. Maybe it's just the photo...there are like 3 different shades between the gold, bronze, and copper.

Morgan, include Switzerland. You won't be disappoint.

So had to play with the image
but it really has different patterns depending on the light, unlike my old blue cover, all same.

Switzerland

Wait, what?
What are you doing with that? That's the color you're using on the calipers?

Ok, I know what you mean. One day, you will get a crazy camera to match your skill. YOu can tell you have the eye for the framing and the shot...which is more than half the battle.

Only reason I don't want a camera to be honest
My moms brother was a photographer when it was called photographer like 15 years ago
He had the red room and everything
That's how I got interested on it but thanks to new generation, I am staying away from Nikon and that app called instagram
No worry, I am not one of those
oh oh
That's why I want Sony HX9V... small, has the G lens and some other nice features that I used on some older versions
Just to get some good res shots
Unlike my cellphone hehe

Nope
2 sprays are for the calipers
This is for throttle spacer... adhesive
His AZ name was Sharksbreath I guess, mentioned this somewhere here
