Default my old merc pics for no reason...

just got my old bus back from getting the wheels and calipers done, wasn't sure about dark wheels but I think the mid grey suits the car better than black. ill get the Mercedes lettering on the calipers highlighted in black or red I think.thats the looks and power sorted for now I think as its sitting at 270-280bhp and 600-610nm torque

From the same stable so to speak as Ford (shoebox) and Lincoln (baby lincoln)
Similar flathead engines and loads of same parts

In a way they were.marketed ford - blue collar.mercury - white collar.lincoln - posh wankers...

I like jags. I just don't have jag money.

I like the old style bmw M5s. I don't have M5 money

Should end up like this..

Daz that's a proper car in my eyes.

Fuzzy I just like my fords cause there cheap for bits,The fords I have had have been really reliable. I couldn't of said that about the cossie when I first bought it over 13 years ago lol.

I like the C63 AMG mercs but yet again I couldn't afford one.
