Any South Africans here and what Benz do you have?
Thought to start a thread with a couple of local guys and see what they are up to with their cars. Don't think I'm the only Benz mad freak in SA or am I????????
Share your pics and mods with the rest of us, thanks

I'm sure there were, we have Daimler Benz here in East London, on the south east coast of SA where they manufacture Mercedes Benz's, but don't know any facts or figures.

Haha, well it was easy since I wasn't old enough to drive anyway in South Africa. I was still in highschool when we moved over. Its actually really awkward when I go back to visit and have to shift with my left hand because most cars there aren't Automatics.

Hey Shaun, would be great to get some amg owners on this forum together hooked from SA. There got to be loads of okes here, after all SA is something like the 5 biggest market for amg or something crazy. Hard to believe. Well just recently traded up from the C32. To the CLS55.

That's some interesting mods, put some pics on, and was it just plug and play or did you need to do some wiring work. Saw this link on gumtree, a guy wants to sell a exhaust, maybe you can just weld it onto the old pipe somehow, I would just negotiate the price cause 9k is a bit steep.

Yes, we have tons of AMG's around and many enthusiasts which will hopefully add their bits of valuable info. in future. Its funny though we never got the earlier AMG's C 36, C 43, CLK 55 W208 etc that I know of? Its a pitty because the market longed for these beasts, oh well better late than never CLS 55 you sayI told myself that that would be my next AMG but just got my C in May so still enjoying her an enormous amount

That C55 is a beautiful car, when I had my C32, I was always so envious of the V8 sound and the Quad Pipes!

Converter Please
Hey guys
, don't you think we should ask the MBworld guys to put a converter in the TOOLS section, I get so confused with horsepower and miles to the gallon etc, maths was definitely not my strongest subject at school. Wonder who we can ask about this?

I don't plan to mess it up too badly... I don't think it'll have issues with the towing either!
