I like the narrator.
Hearing narrators accent, narrator must be from Boznija und HertZegovina?

Brabus makes some beefed up cars, they are like bulls Belgian Blue pumped up on roids!

yeah he has a great accent, but what i really love about his videos (i will admit i have watched a few) is the classic intro and really his logo Alfa Guy, the AG design lol. very 80s and very cool. someone should pick this guy up and let him do car reviews.

in the states we have public television, he could probably get his own show started lol

on every street corner in Albanija you see a Benz.
these cars were 99,9999999999% gone in 60 seconds in western europe then taken to Albanija for a new life and identity VIN number.

did you see Top Gear in Albanija?

Just last Sunday I struck a deal with a guy selling a brabus 5.8 motor. I was stoked. Before the money was exchanged it was found out (by me) it was actually just a B11 500 motor and not the 5.8

that really sucks. there is a guy on ebay selling the 5.8, he has had it listed for ages but his asking price is high, plus the motor needs work on top of it. idk, i think $ for $ investment, you might go a different way for more power. maybe m113k. the brabus c58 wasn't a production car if i recall?

i believe there are more Benz cars in total in Albanija than in entire Germany.
no-one loves Mercedes like Albanijans do, their former dictator Enver Hoxha back in the 70-80's loved his 600 Pullman limo very much.
most dictators like Marshal Josip Broz Tito, Enver Hoxha, Nicolae Ceaușescu, Idi Amin and many more were all driven in Mercedes stretch limos.

Yeah I've seen that one, it's worth next to nothing needing motor work. I'd never put s supercharger on this car.

he said it will be a while before he releases the video as he is going to research rare facts etc. good news is that he is a w202 aficionado in the sense that he plans to buy a c36.
