Photoman Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: New Zealand Vehicle(s): 280GE, ML500, 280SE 3.5 | 140 vs some Jag I took a Jag for a drive today. Same year as my 140. Nice. But nice is about all I can say. It was a nice ride, it had nice interior, it had a nice engine and it looked.... nice. I parked it in the driveway and started to walk inside. I stopped and looked back at it. NAH it just does not have the presence of my 140. Ok so it has been lowerd 70mm which helps but still... The Jag was nice. What it has done is make me hand out big time for my 140. It's been weeks since I drove it! | ||

nomad Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: 140 vs some Jag Nice! A great reason to appreciate your Benz even more I guess in your line of work you get to sample a vast array of desirable vehicles and yet a big W140 is personally, still one of your chosen means of travel | ||

So we will be 50mins from one of the best power ski fields in the worls and 30mins to a white sand surf beach and a few mins from an awesome river with fantastic fishing and jet-boating... so want more could you want that a supercharged 140 for the awesome roads and a 300GE for the mountains... ahhhh yes we are spoilt down here. Sure some things cost more but that's because we are so small and hanging off the bottom of the world | ||
