Do the maths again. G550 = G500 G55 = G55

Snapped this cracker today whilst on road test..... Words fail me.

Petrol's use a 74Ah.....

I do 240kms a day @ 160kph and mine is very stable cutting in and out of crazy traffic. It is standard, only with lower profile tyres.

Funny, I think Merc's without stars just look like Chinese copies....

What's the milage? My 103 runs at about 0.5 bar in hot traffic, but when starting cool shoots straight up to three. As long as it is 3 bar at around 2500rpm.... but zero?

A bit of late input here, I bought a 1991 300e last year with 382000 kms on it. It was purchased with the sole intention of commuting between Dubai and Abu Dhabi on a daily basis, about 230 kilometres round trip, @ 160 kmh in temperatures of up to 50C. The vehicle performs this task...

124 500E Valiant Charger R/T

Nah, I think he's squashed onto the rear of the front wheel arch.... This is now so naff, the Arabs don't even do it anymore!

W124 wagon.

Oh, thanks for the warning. Around the desert..... how very dare you!

Or is it manual?

Well, they used drive their 100 chassis 600's with sand tyres on the dunes here.......

Funnily enough, this was towed into work a couple of days ago. It, like the above, was hit whilst stationary. Only, by a bus. Angle is a bit off, but it's damn near flat! The rear doors still open.

Personally, I prefer driving the turbo. As stated previously, the kompressor engines are quite rough and noisy, especially as the miles start to rack up. Also, the kompressor is a veeery expensive thing to replace! Go with the new technology.
