Thought it might be interesting to hear how we ended up driving an AMG and our journey from more humble cars.
Here are some of my previous cars which I owned prior to moving over to the AMG Family. As you can see I've been a petrol head all my life and when I think of the price i sold some of these cars and what they're selling for now, I wish I still had some of them.
My Audi S4 which I loved, but cost me a mint due to a timing chain tensioner failing. Other than that it was mint and lots of sensible mods carried out, Remap, Miltek Exhaust System, Adjustable Suspension, BBS Wheels etc etc etc.
The culprit failed timing chain tensioner..........
Not the easiest of jobs to fix, as you have to remove the V8 as the timing chains are at the back of the engine on the S4 4.2ltr V8, so it's an engine out job.
My mid life Crisis......... Love my bikes too. Sold this to fund the C63.
