If it was a twin screw I'd understand.Sweet though,I won't argue with that. With running standard compression it's best to get the charge as cool as possible. This means I can run more boost  | |

| RE: SUPER CHARGER nomad - 8/31/2006 6:24 AM Corrr...fantastic! Can't wait for the story...there's still going to be a story, right? Hands up who wants Photoman to do a feature on his Supercharged W140, in his magazine (NZV8), when it's completed Maybe I can send my copy on a world tour even I want a story. I will buy a copy from anyone who will sell it to me. Photoman make a story in your magazine!!!!  Buy some extra copies, you could make some money selling copies of the issue to people worldwide. | ||

The place it was getting the Procharger put on was taking way way way to long. The car had been there for over three weeks and they had only worked on it for 16hrs. So next week it gets towed to a different workshop. Then it will be done in a week! I should of been driving it around by now. I'm getting withdrawl symptoms.... oh well I have been offered to drive a 1000hp '69 Camaro I might just have to do that. Only thing is the Benz will feel so slow after that ha ha ha ha | |

| Re: SUPER CHARGER Photoman - 9/2/2006 10:34 PM no bad... especialy since he drives it to work!!!!! I'll being taking photos for sure. I'm sure I can post one or two in the 140 thread without the mod getting to upset oh no, the mods won't get upset at all. LOL. you can post as many pics as you want Photoman. If both W140 mods are engaging in conversations about Matchbox 600SEL toy cars, I'm pretty sure a couple of pics of a real car won't hurt. LOL. The pics you take are awesome Photoman. Never hesitate to post them here. I still remember those CLK DTM pics. Even though those cars are not a W140, they are really fast, and great looking cars. Looking forward to the pics. Thanks for showing us all of your amazing pics Photoman. | ||

LOL. you can post as many pics as you want Photoman. You mean like this one It's a new car built in Aussie but is going to be the new chassis for the new Camaro. That has got some of you lot up there a bit miffed. Fancy having an Aussie designing the chassis for the Camaro. And whats more fancy having a chassis from a four door family car as the chassis for the all new American muscle car... but I have driven the new Commodore and it is awesome! Build like a 124 or 140!!!! and the performance is outstanding!!! Anyway I digress. You see I can link this back to a 140. When they showed as a live crash test (truely awesome!) I got to talk to the heads of safty at Holden. They asked what I drive.. I said 124 and 140. They were very impressed and said they are extremely safe cars So there you go. There is a point to my ramble (VE Commodore.jpg) Attachments ----------------  VE Commodore.jpg (90KB - 1 downloads) | |

There is a point to my ramble ;)I saw a pic of the new clubsport that is based on the new Holden, IMO that clubsport is a really ugly car.  It's a shame because I quite like Holden, I miss my old VH but would not give up my W140 for anything. | |

We are all car enthusiasts. Does the Commodore replace the Monaro? . | ||

Nice to have it related to Mercedes-Benz, but it is not completely necessary to have it be related. We are all car enthusiasts. Does the Commodore replace the Monaro? . :) The Commodore has been around since '78. The latest Monaro (GTO) is a Commodore coupe. But Holden are no longer making the Monaro. So no more GTOs for US either. But the new chassis that Holden has made for the Commodore is so awesome that it will be used for the Camaro. So it only makes sense that we will see a RHD version of the Camaro down this way to replace the Monaro. Man I miss my old VH Royale.  110,000km young. | |

Was kind of a shame as it was my granddads car. The deal was that I would get the W140 and sell the Holden before I went back to uni, but I kept stalling and finally my Mum made me part with it, she was tired of it staining the driveway. Also it was poo brown lol  | |
