R230- So far there's at least 20 units sold. SL350 is priced =$230k. Sl500 is more.

R129- Lots of them though. Very common like the no. of W140 here.

He says something about the Ferrari is too low. Getting into the driver seat is pain ass and the ride is not comfortable due to the conditions of the roads here.


I like the R129 better anyways.

he is probably right, but there is probably nothing like owning a ferrari. :)


An uncle of mine owned two Ferraris, don't ask what they were I was young and don't know. They have very nice interior, muy Aunt has a new Porchse boxter S type, although I guess it is entry level I did not see the $120,000 NZ that she paid for it, very plain plastic etc. I would be worried about owning a Ferrari and parking it in a carpark or on the street because of vandels. Not to mention you are instantly on every cops shit list. Not to mention the most you can carry in them is your briefcase on the way to work. :err:


yea, that's true. If you have a 13 year old W140, and people are already tampering with your hood star, what do you expect with a ferrari. That sucks about the jerk who did that to your hood star.


Yea, I know, , makes me more sad than angry.


and what sucks even more, is that it ISN't your hood star. It is your hood.

If they took your hood star, you could have just replaced it, but with a hood, it costs A LOT more.

In Saudi Arabia,Iran and Kuwait, Drug dealer will have their head chop off. Crazy!

In Vietnam,Thailand and Cambodia they will be in a firing squad.

In Bru,Sing and Malaysia, It's either life in Prison or Hanged.

The law is so strict but still they want to do it.

Yea. They even make millions$$.
They(Drug lords) usually own most disco clubs in Malaysia and Thailand. That's where they made their money by adding some pills in their drinks.

Some Police are even bribe by them so they do not disturbed their operation. I bet in US, it's also very normal especially with the Chinese Maf.

That's true. these guys always try to make it seem like they are not doing anything illegal, and then one day, they get busted.

Oh well.

Back to topic,

Which car would you rather get?

The E65 BMW or the W220 S class?

I'll take the E65 BMW.. The W220 looks a lot like the syongyang Chairman.

yea, I am going to have to say BMW. If it is E65 vs W221, I am going to have to go with Merc.

THe ssanyong Chairman, I remember that car. They never sold it in America, but it was said that it was a W140 look-alike.

Then, they redesigned it to look like a W220 look-alike.

And now, they have redesigned it again. To look like what? the W221.

Here's some pics.

1st Chairman (W140 look-alike)
2nd Chairman (W220 look-alike)
3rd Chairman (W221 look-alike)

The car in the first pic: I was reffering this design that looked like the W220. I actually saw a few around and one with the badge "S280". I was with my dad. I started to burst out laughing with him.
The other two don't even looked like a Benz.

The E65 vs W221:

The E65 still looks more nicer IMO. But maybe I'll take the W221 because of the smaller size and easy to Maneuver in towns parkings and small roads.
