Settles the old V8 vs Turbo debate, in the great words of the Old El Paso Girl "Why not both"! Killer video mate, clearly a LOT of works gone into it.
@MeatballGarage3 жыл бұрын
Hey Browney! Haha exactly right - both is best!! I have always wanted to get into a forced induction V8 - except I always thought it would be an angry LS as these AMGs were always waaay out of my league. How the tables have turned though! The torque is addictive and suits my lazy driving style, can't wait to put some more miles on it! Thanks mate - I think the video was filmed about 7 weeks ago now, and has been edited mostly between the 1 and 4 am feeds, so pleased with how its turned out!! Cheers mate!

They are a nice car!! Well done. One thing I noticed is the drivers side rotor the drill holes are facing the wrong direction, as they arch in the wrong direction compared to the other rotors. I have a thing about rotors as when I purchased my Senator second hand the front rotors were on the wrong side so I swapped them around and now my OCD is fine again. Great Vid by the way.
@MeatballGarage3 жыл бұрын
Arrrggh!! Mate I rushed outside to the shed to check the rotors and you are right - I never noticed this before and now its going to drive me bloody nuts! I checked online (and even rewatched Legit Street Cars video on AMG Brakes) and it appears they are like this from factory (only 1 part number for left and right discs) - which is really bizarre, and really annoying!!! Cheers mate, these are very nice cars indeed! I really did love that an HSV offered 80% Of the thrills for 40% Of the price - but those days are well and truly over! Glad you enjoyed the video mate! Cheers!

@@MeatballGarage Wow so I am right and wrong!! LOL That is bizarre for a high end motor company to only make (or buy one sided rotors) a one sided rotor, does that mean the rear drivers side is the same as the front drivers side? Yeah bought my Senator 2.5 years ago just before the prices went stupid, but think I will put it up for sale as its a sellers market at the moment, sell high! buy low. cheers enjoy the Germon Powarrr

G'day MR GT!! Thanks mate - it's such a great package and the M157 would be a good natural successor to your M113k with all the low down torque! Just don't watch any of Tasos Moscatos vids on the M157 - they give me anxiety that mine will blow up like the ones he works on! Haha glad you got a laugh out of the Benaud bit - I loved the old commentary teams (and when the 12th man use to take the piss). Might grab a cream, bone or off white jacket for my next vid! Thanks for your support mate - cracked the 1k this week - up and up from here!! Cheers - Marc

@@MeatballGarage G'day Marc!! Or rather good evening! 🤣 actually no, it is morning!🤩 Tasos Moschatos. Another Greek. I'm surprised he has low views and low number subscribers yet 3 of my mates, you now, Tony C63, a Merc mechanic and myself watch him.🤩 Sometimes he can be scary. I'd still get the M157. If you look after them they'll be fine. I mean some of the cars Tasos gets, the condition of them, like the latest E55 he is filming looks like the rats have been at it. 🤣 So there is hope for us anal guys. Well almost anal. And yes Benaud's clothing choice and colours were second to none. It will be a great send up with the clothes, hat and the chew for chew chew chew. 😝 Congratulations on the 1K subs! 😎 It gets fun now. Keep up the great work and if I come down to Victoria I'll let you know and maybe we can do a vid togther with the Mercs!😎 Cheers, George.

G'day Rob! Mate you are not wrong! There are more buttons on the key fob of the Merc thant the whole XW. Still, the old Clevo wins the smiles per gallon by miles - you can plant your foot, make some noise and still be well within the speed limit. Hit the go pedal on the Benz for a fraction too long and you are looking at jail time 😬
