Interesting - will keep in mind next time it pops up.

weird I saw the numberplate [1] the other day... was on a Benz of some sort, nothing super special though!... I don't think it was even an AMG version

E63

Got a whole thread dedicated to Vic plate spotting for us number nerds:

http://aussieexotics.com/forum/number-plat...es-t5403.0.html :D

it is an AMG :D

EDIT: beaten to it. but the dude has upgraded

Yep I see it every day.. it's parked downstairs in my building

The guy who owns it is Peter Bartels (former Coles Myer CEO). Used to have them on a AMG E55, now on a silver E63.

"Peter Bartels is now the highest paid executive in Australia." Some of his inflammatory comments had included the following: "His earnings of $55,000 a week - disclosed in the company's latest financial statement"

I agree w/ dezz. The super-expensive super-exclusive 1 and low 2 digit plates seem to be on relatively crap (RELATIVELY) cars. If I had 200k plates I'd sure as hell own something more exclusive than a normal Merc/AMG or 911 Turbo. They're not even limited editions. If I could afford to spend 200k on a plate I'd be looking at Reventon/Zonda/SLS territory. But that's just me. The rich will obviously do whatever they like.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
