A suppose a snob is a snob, class notwithstanding, but I will concede that a working class snob is probably the worst type to encounter! But the original question is about exactly that...snobbery. Albeit whilst having a bit of fun at the expense of those less fortunate in their 'AMG' ownership! 😊

To go back to the original question, I am of working class stock and wouldn't know how to be a snob. However...when the petrolhead in me that's always hankered after a lovely AMG V8 sees another AMG badged Mercedes that is obviously AMG-line, I sometimes chuckle to myself and murmur quietly, 'Oh...

Hi Will, interesting prices for parts you quote there, and I fully intend to shop around before I commit. I'm not quite worn out, yet, but do appreciate the heads up, as it's still a lump of money to me. And you don't need to apologise or take me to task on how our AMGs sound...I never argued...

"I think the brakes are the same on the 6.2 and 5.5 cars, fairly expensive for discs but then again how often do you change them?" Fair point, but DavidL did explain what his purchase was going to be and what mileage, and like my E63S, it's a relevant question. I've just had a full set priced...

Well, for trips to the local tip, for one (the wife's car, that is...)!

That's a mean looking machine which looks predatory and menacing just sat in the garage! Lovely. Twelve long years ago, I built myself a double garage with a 15' sectional door long before I ever had anything worth parking there, as I knew that, 'One day...!' My only parking problem then was...

I still can't quite believe it's mine! I second that, and still have that feeling every time I approach it on a car park, as I still see so very few '63s down here in the Westcountry. And lovely car, BJC, and interesting detail to your posts - I can't believe there's a solution to the footrest...

Undertook my first half decent road trip from Cornwall to the Peak Forest in Derbyshire last weekend and can summarise the driving experience like this: Trip up, boring as hell, death by weight of traffic, speed control/speed cameras until I hit the Buxton Road, then sweet freedom (I almost...

71. Bayard W212 E63S 5.5 Biturbo 2014.

My jaw tends to drop wide open during kick down - is this the same kind've symptom? Though I can't find it on the spec sheet, I think the original owner must have optioned this.

Love it. :D Does this affliction with 'sensitive' other halfs affect ALL male AMG owners, I wonder...? I can feel a poll coming on!

Perfect answer...knew AMG wouldn't let me down! :)

That looks like fun! Parked next to mine in my garage, it would make a great eeny, meeny, miney, mo moment to my sober suited executive express when the mood took you! God, I wish I was loaded... :rolleyes:

Lol, I suppose my point was it is surprising what can be achieved by a mere mortal when you are dedicated of purpose. And if that's the case with colours as they came, your engine looks fairly dedicated to purpose in its natural state, too (to me, anyway)! Keep us posted with your progress, Alex.

From one Chris to another, that sir, is a lovely car. I'd be interested to know your opinion of what it sounds like, as Germans are doing great things with 6 cylinder engine tuning at the moment?

Lovely! I dare you not to leave the door open and smile as you prod the start button...every time! You just need to recalibrate your right foot, now.

Lol, welcome to MY world! Whilst at work, I had an email from Tracker earlier to tell me my car was on the move, so I texted the missus and asked if I should call the police...she assured me it was in good hands! Enjoy, and change your profile car status from 'none'! :cool:

Posted this in another thread by mistake...apologies to those forced to read it twice! :rolleyes: Just spent an hour I didn't have following this thread and like so many others on here, feel the need to pass a comment or two. Alex, your sheer tenacity at the way in which you have overcome to...

Lmao, I wondered where my response went! Takes a special talent, that...:D

That's Max, and he is fairly awesome, if not just a bit dumb..which I quite like in a dog!
