The V12 ofcourse, is in a different league! |

I did make another good investment . No i have not driven her yet, so the performance is yet to be seen and she runs on normal unleaded fuel. Quote:

Its an acquired taste motomaverick. 12 cylinders on any car is welcome, you just need the roads to take them on . Quote:

Glad that she has come to the right hands. Some cars intuitively do.
BTW, the other day I saw another S600 with MH regn no 60 at the Juhu bandh. Was parked on the road outside the garage undergoing frontal touch up. Maybe you are already aware of that one too. |
Thank you sir. Yes am aware of that car. Quote:

You have S-600 A real daddy for sure, Its a GANGSTA car . |
Yes the w140 can outshine the W221 anyday of the week. There is a S280 in Bombay that kills the W221 outright. Quote:

You and spiff are most welcome. In due time buddy. Quote:

I know which car should do a Photshoot with your W140 : Brabus E class V12.
Please do not make us W124 Owners look like idiots just because you do not like W124. :( |
Sorry to offend you supercars. I actually love the W124 and the reason i want to shoot the W140 with one is because they look similar. It is the E and S of the same generation and till date can hold off all the E's and S's that came after. I have not asked for a shoot with any other mercedes, not even my aunts W220 and W221 S500's or any other ones around. Just for your information my favourite and most loved Mercedes is the W123 (owned a 240d and 230c), no other Mercedes and not even the W140 S600 can shake that. So please i would be the biggest idiot trying to make W124 owners look like idiots.
Bring the Brabus E V12 and i shall shoot with it. Quote:

btw I am not sure if the Owner knows it or not, the car runs only on 4 cylinders on idle to get good fuel economy.
It would be a good idea to let the Speed Resrictor remain on the car. |
Yes they do have variable valve timing. Quote:

Thank you GTO for the links. I also managed to get a site Auto Parts, Car Parts and Auto Accessories at Discount Prices | Free Shipping - DriveWire.com that houses all parts for the W140 s600. The costs are reasonable and not sky high.
