    Do we still have engine snobbery?

    My CL65 is pretty torquey and sounds okay

    To wax or not?

    Super resin polish is a polish. It will remove fine scratches. Add a layer of wax to protect the paint after.

    Do we still have engine snobbery?

    General rule 4 cylinders are economic 6 cylinders are smooth 8 cylinders make a lot of torque 12 cylinders are the best of both worlds if you can afford the running costs. As far as snobbery? Buy what you like. Even call it an AMG. Nobody gives a sh*t what you drive and you shouldn't give a...

    Auction question.

    Check the guide price for trade on whatever publication publishes them. Back when i lived there, it was glasses I think

    ABC fluid levels

    The accumulators are nitrogen filled membranes. If the gas leaks, the level will drop as the fluid fills the space the nitrogen used and you'll feel more bumps. You might or might not see the red abc warning as you go over bumps

    Oh rats

    You know I grew up in London and moved here in my 20's? Straight outta Acton

    Oh rats

    You would have known if I did when you heard the distant screams of what sounded like a 6 year old girl, coming from the west.

    Oh rats

    This was an XJS parked in the back of my shop. Some manufacturers used peanut oil to run copper wiring through insulation. They made quite a nest. I also found shedded snake skin so there must have been a real party going on.

    2002 stage 2 SL55 or 2015 S1 Audi S4

    The one to avoid is the SL350 with the V6 engine. Why? Because everybody knows that a V12 is twice as reliable as a V6. 2x Cylinders = 2x Reliability

    Cleaning silver grey seat belts

    Pull them all they way out and shut the door on them. The pressure wash them when you wash the outside, making sure the buckle is still in the car

    W126's are tough as old boots.

    It was a short wheelbase car so either an M103 300SE or a OM603 diesel 350SD. He might have gotten away if he was in a 560SEL.

    2002 stage 2 SL55 or 2015 S1 Audi S4

    I'm familiar with V12 Jags (currently own 4) and their maintenance issues. I also own an SL55. The SL55 will be Toyota reliable by comparison. You should have no problems with parts availability given that the oldest SL will be about a decade newer than the newest XJS, and many parts are shared...

    2002 stage 2 SL55 or 2015 S1 Audi S4

    If you're comfortable with an XJS V12, there's nothing on an SL55 that should concern you and you'll feel at home because it's a solid GT car that's capable of very high speeds. The car itself is probably closer to an XJS than an R107. Like an XJS, you just need to make sure that you buy the...

    He was probably on the way to see Ken at The Benz Store which is on NW Highway near North Druid Hills. That's where I used to buy my MB Parts when I lived in Atlanta.
