Yes ! I said. On the way to the circuit I blew away an M6 and a M5 having a race, and just before I got there I polished of a Ferrari 430.
When I got on the circuit I was told to slow down as the F1 cars couldn't
stay with me. On the way home I left a Veyron for dead.

bigben 320e,is this what you want to hear, or can we have a sensible discussion on how fast or slow our cars are, apart from the practicle side.

And please a little less ...do you wanna be in my gang......I know let's get him banned attitude. As mature Merc owner and car fanatic, I hope
to bring something to this forum, replies not insults. I'm sorry if it sounds
like I'm bashing MB, but I'm not, however as good as the cars are the sales
and service in this country sucks. That's bashing.

I nearly believed you for a second! So funny. I take it the Veyron was parked at the side of the road?

Please tell me in what way my posts are sketchy,suspect and missleading.
My first post asked for help with a problem. My next asked why mercedes
were much cheaper in the states. Then I posted a thread saying I did not
think Mercedes were for posing in. Then AMG not that fast, an event I can assure you happened, even though the original post shortened it a great deal.
Why are you worried, am I a threat. You know why I joined, and as a senior
member all you do is slate me. What's bugging you?

I dropped this, for obvious reasons. On your AMG not that fast, it was sketchy and misleading. On most of your threads, there have been negatives things mentioned of MB's so, a question to ask yourself is: Why do I have over $100K worth of Merc's and post negatives on them? That's all, it seems strange to most here.

No, Sound 8 you are not a threat. Nothing's bugging me, the whole thing doesn't make sense. The videos, circumstances, and facts are all sketchy, and suspect. These are dead issues, so let's drop this and the other threads. If you love your MB's keep them and drive them, if not, and you love Bimmer M's get one.

I love my MB's. Done.

There is nothing perfect in this world.
Mercedes included, they have NEGATIVES as do other cars.
As long as I am a member I will put positives and negatives on my cars,
or do you want just a fan club. I am not a BM owner but you slag of anybody that even mentions that dreaded word. I don't understand, what happened
to a debate rather than a mud slinging contest.

What videos!!! are you mixing me up with another member?

Inclined to respond....

1. The videos mentioned were on this thread. Not referring to you on that, let's be clear.
2. On the majority of posts I have seen, there was nothing but negatives on MB's in the beginning. After it was mentioned, the posts started to change in content.
3. You are correct, and as mentioned many times all cars have good and bad points. Even a Veyron has bad points, or a Reventon. It's across the board.
4. Nothing wrong with bimmer's. I like them, they are cool, but I prefer Benz. That's just my preference, and I would never "slag" anyone on it. However, you came in from a totally different intention. It may have just been perception.

It was perception, as I said I tell the truth about my feelings, you may love
your dog but you will still kick him when he craps on you carpet.I just wish
the forum would posts more replies when you need help. It's the glamour of
a video between usually a Bm and an AMG that gets the replies.
