That CL 3000 badged car is the mad German who raced his car in the Euro Gumball Rally from London to Monti Carlo via Tunisia. He was on TV driving that car at over 160 mph all the way from Paris to the Med, dodging French and Spanish police all the way.

 

Is that S820 Almandine Black?

 

isn't almandine more brownish?

 

Where is the other ///AMG Badge? There is supposed to be another to the left of that one...it is a double AMG due to the power and size of the engine....I thought yew n00b's knew this?

 

I guess. But all colors look different in different lighting. With the exception of the usual black, white, and silver.

 

Yeah .. I was gettin a little annoyed with this thread cause everyone is catchin up to my S1000 .. so I made the jump .. all you suckas (OK, I know I'm too white to pull this off, but just go with it) better recognize the new shiznit in town ..

Se=mc2 ...

Nuclear baby .. I got as much power as a Nimitz class carrier .. 0-60 times in .05 seconds, but only cause I'm having problems hooking up off the line .. any suggestions? ESP(n) is off, 24psi in rear tires .. I figure if I hit it and hook up off the line I should hit 0-60 in -2.5 seconds .. time warp baby!

What's funny is I'll bet there are some people on this board who can figure out hp and 1/4 mile times based on my new engine! Love this board, geeks as big as me but smarter!

 

I think it may be a cultural/superstitious thing...

In some cultures "4" sounds similar to death, so it's considered an unlucky number, whereas "8" is perfectly fine.

The owner of the 430 may just like to get rid of the unlucky number.

I know in some markets in Asia M-B does not import the 420 / 430 cars for this exact reason.

 

We could settle that issue with some more 8's.

 

A very serious response to a very silly action and thread .. cut it out!
