Default My new car......
..its the absolute bollocks IMO...i know its not goin to be to many tastes but it is truly remarkable...Merc e55 amg 1999...5.5L 360bhp 400ftlb torque...0-60 4.9secs 180mph delimited top speed...it has every option including sat nav and bose upgrade sound system which is so good....10 airbags electric/heated EVERYTHING ...the center box is a fridge or hot box ..18inch rims with 265 tyres on rear....To drive it aint a soft ride!..You can feel everything...VERY sure footed..the traction control is struggling to tame the beast in the low gears...switch it off and its stupid ..it is staggeringly fast...quicker than the XJR V8 i had imo it really does push you back in the seat and that V8 noise is pretty nice too!...Its a big car but is so well tuned in every way...never experienced AMG before..and its very good Fuel aint that bad either actually as if you drive it normal you hardly see above 2000rpm!!

Now colour wise its another love it or hate it...

You can say that again. At least it's not as bad as the last one. And I actually like the E55 AMG! So nice buy!
