| RE: Is there an AMG W140? NZ Benz - 7/4/2006 2:52 PM I love the way there is no fuel usage meter, I think with that car it would drive me insane if there was, :laugh: yup, but with a car like that, who cares about fuel.  | ||

Pagani used the AMG engine in the Zonda. There were a few Zonda customers that specified the Brabus 7.3 S engine as that is rated at 582bhp. Here's a couple of piccies of my Brabus SV12 Great machine graeme73s!!! The Zonda is actually over 600hp  | |

Not many people know that bhp is actually the reading at the wheels... just more useless info to fill our brains | |

What was it called? Sessna 182, or something? And James not having a night time license made things even worse for him and the hamster. | ||

Ouch. haha, yea. Thats why TopGear is so successful. Clarkson. Did you watch the older TopGears? Remember Tiff Needel? He was an awesome driver. He moved to Fifth Gear. Tiff is a way better driver, but Clarkson's humor is something that always keeps you coming back to TopGear, rather than Fifth Gear, (Well, it keeps me coming back. ) | ||

| RE: Is there an AMG W140? 1996_S500 - 7/4/2006 6:31 PM I wish you the best on your trip Graeme, Your car is going to be fantastic. Take some nice pics of your car and the French countryside if possible. They will make wonderful pictures. :) Fitted the new pads and blead the brakes on Tuesday night. Bedded the new pads in with very promising results. Left at 8.00am Thursday morning to go to Le Mans and the brake pedal was almost on the floor. The guys at the garage blead the brakes again but unfortunately it looks like I need a new brake master cylinder.  So we took the F150 lightning pick up truck, saw 144mph on the gps sat nav, not bad for a pick up truck. None the less had a fantastic time. Drove a mates Murcielago, took my niece out in another mates Testarossa and persuaded another mate to let me take the missus out in this. Absolutely awesome.

That orange Lambo is very nice, (From what I can see of it) I love the Diablo's. They started the love between me, and Lamborghini. | ||
