[W126 Coupe] 380 to 500 Euro?

[Sharan Bains]

Mike

Plenty of fluffy dice here in Essex ! I'm sure I can charm one of those 
gorgeous Essex girls to give me a pair (of dice !) from their Ford Capri !

I'd imagine 0-60 to be 5 seconds or just a tad under, depending on traction, 
given the rear end you have.


Bill - I think Mike already has a 3.07 rear end !
