[W124] W124list Digest, Vol 27, Issue 1

[Robin Farquhar-Thomson]

Well Moose (and what a great name that is!) I never saw a E500 here in 
the UK theres a SEC 500 and a S500 but not a E

I never took my car to the limit but scared the shit out of my wife who 
said we are in a hurry dammit on the way to a wedding

Now I was cruising at a steady 80 MPH not KPH with my accelerator just 
a centimetre down so I floored it and the car only went into top gear 
at 130 MPH

And thats a E320 not a V8 500!

So you are right they do move very fast

Id like to send pix of my car but the computer had a semi meltdown and 
dumped loads of pictures
