I know right :-) lol.. There's something about this car it's hard to explain!! I'm pleased I was able to rescue it!!

@@carsteve_ourworld8947 I get you the transformation is amazing 😊

Oh really, wow!! Well mine is a 320 cdi and the unit was dad so it had to go.. and for less than a £100 I will be getting it remapped via the ecu... I'll do a video and show how much extra hp / torque it generates. I'm sure I'll get more than 68..

@@carsteve_ourworld8947 brabus kit was in all 350cdi but for 320cdi it was an optional extra, i had myself this kit, and removed it to make stage 1, gearbox became very responsive with no delays . 270HP

​@cristumuruc5756 having driven the car now for a couple of weeks after getting it right, I don't think it really needs all this stuff to make it go faster, oh wait that might be my age talking..😂😂

😀 thks bro

Yes in deed, the car was perfect flawless drive, really comfi very impressed....

@@carsteve_ourworld8947 I drove mine south over the Col de la Bonette staying at Castellane and Nice for 3 nights, then drove back via Route Napoleon in 2019. Fantastic week. Have just purchased a Shooting Brake so the 219 will be my runaround until my target of 250k. Love the 219, I will hate the day it goes.

​@mudplugging nice, I'll check that area out... definitely taking it back to Europe but hopefully I'll get wrap and wheels done before next trip...

The one in the middle

@@carsteve_ourworld8947 i see now i thought he was not there

Thks for watching.

Lol😂😂

I hear you.

Where does it appear in the video pal? I'll go looking for it.

Hey little bro, yes it was a good event.

Thk you...Yeah agree great show!! Regarding gimbal with all the parking situation I left it in my car!!

What time did you start queuing

It sure was not a lot to do either apart from look at cars that people had paid to be there I feel robbed by the experience wish I had gone truck fest

Spam-tadtic😂😂😂😂😂

@@HIGHIMPACTCUSTOMS started queuing from 10:25. Finally parked up at 1:50...

Agree perfect day out everything on point, with a great crowd, nice cars and some good food too :-)

Oh wow!!, sorry to hear that was your experience. Let's hope they fix these issues before the next event...

@@mrcox216 nothing to do for kids was you even there? Dadcars had a whole stand on with activities,there was bouncy castle, Ferris wheel, toylanders. You mean you didn't want to part with cash 😂 Thankfully we was part of a trade stand and got straight in after arriving ALOT earlier.

@@mrcox216 if your paying £20 for a hot wheels car mate that's you whose deranged 😂

​@@mrcox216queuing aside (there's major outrage about this and I reckon something may be done about it by the organisers as they're at risk of being boycotted 😂), that hot wheels seller was absolutely outrageous. £20 for a hot wheels that's currently still on shelves for £2 is nuts, glad people actually voiced their opinions on his prices out loud as well. Hope he doesn't get invited again. There was another hot wheels seller on site who was a little more reasonable but easily missed as he was at the end of the trade stands.

He honestly shocked me!! But that sums up the state of todays cost of living right?!!

Your welcome 🙏

I've picked up some carbon fiber effect wrap as well as some gloss black, I'll show how it looks in the next video. Is yours petrol or diesel? I'm having some DPF issues with mine..

@@carsteve_ourworld8947 320 Diesel, but with the Brabus D6 tuning box which effectively gives the same output as the last Grand Edition models. Have just had a set of new heater plugs fitted, the last set went in 60k ago, Apart from that, road springs, dampers, engine mounts and several suspension/steering joints. I must admit, I chose the 2008 facelift as I didn’t want any DPF problems.

Nice, sounds like a beast!! how much BHP are you generating? Mine is no where near that level yet but I've got some ideas, have already done front suspension and rear springs driving alot better.... But nothing more until I resolve the DPF issue!!!

@@carsteve_ourworld8947 I believe it was dealer fitted from new and I think they’re about 272 bhp and 590 Nm. I didn’t realise it was there until I found it under the cabin filter.

OK thks for that I'll have a look to see if I've got one.

Hey John, I'd say being twin axle overall weight must be pushing 2tons +.

Couldn't have said it better...

Yep agree :-) and very possible.

Thk you appreciate your comment.
