I wonder if we put that kind of racing tyres on our W140s. How will it look?



I dunno, but GoodYear tires are not very good. LOL. they are used mostly on Ford Police cars and Stuff over here. :banghead:


Well, Currently I'm using Bridge stone tyres. They are very expesnive.

I'm thinking of using GT radial tyres the next time. Indonesian made tyres. Half the price of Bridgestone and Firestone.
http://www.gt-tires.com/
They also made tyres for pirelle.


It is interesting how they have Bridgestone and Firestone in Brunei, even though they are US tires. US tires are not very good, IMO. :banghead:


Bridgestone is Japanese tyres.


oh. I see. O well. LOL

I found a Green 600SEL. It is very expensive though. $20.

Although, there are only 12,000 of those. Very limited European edition. I dunno if I am going to buy it. :(


Yeah $20 for a matchbox is not worth it. $10-12is OK IMO.


yea, and it is $20 just for the car itself, not including shipping. I have found another one in the same color, Green, and I am going to "import" it from france. LOL It is going to cost me almost $15 shipped to the US.

But it is very rare, and I am addicted to these things.


Damn..Well I would find it locally.


yea, but I found another locally, and the guy wanted $25. So, France is better. haha. I bought it. This is what it is going to look like. I am still looking for a nice black one for you zeq. I will let you know if I get one, and even if you don't want it, I will keep it, because these are so cool.

Cool.Thanks.

hahaha, nice one NZ Benz.

Well, I don't know, the speedo doesn't seem to be moving. Maybe I got a lemon. O well, I bought another one last night. Another Silver one. My Green one is coming in from France. I will update when I get it.

O god, I am obsessed.

As long as you park it in an underground bunker in Russia, where no one can find it, it is perfectly legal to tint the windows as much as you want. Did that answer your question?

People who own tinted W140's in Russia are mafia, I hear they make their own rules anyway.
