Some bold claims in TW124's first ever PH post:
"My 1st post here and I've seen a lot of brilliant threads and follow many too.
V8
TVR 350/400, I worked at the factory in the late 80's in Blackpool and test drove almost all the cars. They in my eye as well as factory spec MERCS were the best factory spec V8's around.
After that, I've owned loads of cars, loads of V8's. Quite boring things until you hit the mercs and the AMG's. I've got 57 mercs at now but the 55AMG SL sounds proper brilliant. A growl for sure and that's compared to 63&65's in my collections.
I dont give care about much else especially ferrari V8 of which I have owned almost all of them since the early 70's. Beautiful cars they were. Enzo was a friend too, but the golden triangle was in that era a beautiful evolvement in car history.
They sound nothing like an AMG really in day to day mode.
Nowadays, I just prefer the laid back S124 Mercedes with a couple of old cheeky cars to the side.
One day soon, I shall compose a thread of the sincerely wonderful vehicles I do own now as well as recent disposals. Mainly Mercedes-Benz."

t. Unless they back the bits up with unequivocal evidence. Murderers who are suspected of knowing their victim are notorious for it. For example, if they’re asked when the last time they saw the victim was, they’ll generally go into huge detail of when where and what was happening when they did. “I was with ( insert victim ) on ( insert day / time ) they had a stretch, scratched their arse, blinked twice, yawned, picked up some fluff off the floor, put their hat on, took 8 steps to the front door, opened the door, using the type 42 BS:EN 43332223 locking mechanism, took three steps outside, scratched their head, locked the door, stood back, then I never saw them again”, sort of thing, would ring alarm bells. It’s the same with Walts and their dits.Edited by BrundanBianchi on Friday 23 October 09:50

Oops, sorry
OT (again) - but I seem to remember offering some advice to you ahead of a visit to Mumbai a few years back, so I'm assuming you took that pic during your visit? Crazy place...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6vUPSwLwffs
This one is priceless. He’s a Navy SEAL, who trains dolphins to attach explosives to stuff.

We have a walt on the most genteel thread on all PH!

Starts with pics of "his" SLR and gullwing SL300 that turn out to be robbed off the internet, which is sad because the man had a long flowing beard about all things old Merc.

Wow, I'm glad you found your camera! That gullwing is amazing, did your Grandad have that car a long time? What a car!
From new he had it, then my dad had it whilst he bought something else, then gave it back to grandad who retired, drove it round europe for 12 months then stopped driving due to a health problem. When he died, I took the car on. Used it for very special occassions because I was scared of it being damaged, so I drove it to Spain and left it there in a building I own.SLR
Unless your Grandad was in Maroon 5 in which case I apologise.
