Late 90s V12 Biturbo E class estate seen

[trando]

Yeah right...

Think it's more likely to be a 3 litre diesel. Someone with a sense of humour maybe? Or just a wannabee? Seen in Waitrose car park today. Car was also filthy inside...

I have been thinking of buying the same badge for mine and ditching the V12 bit.

 

[renault12ts]

The badge is in the wrong place. But it might be true, see the swept back go-faster mirrors!!

And what's that on the roof?

 

[Howard]

Yeah , a twin turbo V12 on 16 inch elegance rims ....

 

[abs]

looks like waitrose twyford?

 

[seymansey]

I got excited then, thought it was a Brabus EV12

 

[trando]

Waitrose Chandler's Ford. I hang around for a few mins cos I was dying to see what the owner looked like but sadly he/she didn't materialise and I had better things to do! It's a pretty skanky motor...

Lovely!!

 

[trando]

So it was called a Brabus T-V12 but it only had a V8? That's clever naming...

 

[Howard]

It's a misprint ..... it was definately a 7.3 L V12

 

[KillerHERTZ]

Fixed it

Typo, HERE is the page

I wonder what it's like driving a 32 valve V12? That's 2.67 valves per cylinder. I reckon that could rattle a bit...
