If the air flow sensors pack up they will cost you half the price of the car to fix... and they can play up. | ||

If the air flow sensors pack up they will cost you half the price of the car to fix... and they can play up. I know I would have kept the 300 and used it as a weekend car so if something were to go south in it I could deal with it not running for a while. Ah what the hell I wasn't sold on the interior colour anyway plenty more time to own me a V12. | ||

I'm shifting down to the South Island of New Zealand and decided that I they guy that was giving me the supercharger wouldn't get decent coverage in the magazine since I'm not going to be the editor anymore. It was a painful choice but oh well. He said he'd still do it if I really wanted but I said he should put it on a car that was based in Auckland to give him better coverage. He's putting it on a STR8 300C! That will fly!!!!! And I just bought a G Wagon so the 140 might just be getting the axe .... Man things have changed around here in the last few days ha ha ha ha. | ||

Man thats a shame what are you going to be doing down south? jees, I stop visiting BW for a couple of days, and chaos happens over there. The 1st "free W140 thread was alright" but the free maybach thread is just too much for me. they should just keep it all in one thread. And since zeq is in the UK, I guess I am going to be the only W140 mod on BW for now.... Not that I have a problem with that. hehe | ||
