Importance

It's important to remember that our white vans are the lifeblood of the city. This is why we think the government should treat us like farmers, airlines and buses and give us tax free or tax discounted fuel.

You can tell we are important in a number of ways

1. We are in a rush
2. We are on the phone a lot

Here you can see FP54DYU doing both at the same time while finally escaping from the tangle of streets in Montpelier, here on Brook Road, where you can make the most of the 20 mph limit in a road with no wingmirrors to bump against.

It's surprisingly hard to text one handed, so we hope the audience is impressed.

First Entry

After a lot of time on forums and other similar media sites I've decided to create this blog.  The blog will primarily be dedicated to automotive related things.  I plan on posting a lot about my car and what I'm doing, along with other things going on in the automotive world.

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG by Kubatech

German tuner Kubatech has a new power upgrade package for the SLS AMG Gullwing.

The tuner, working with Mcchip-dkr, has developed a software-based optimization kit for the SLS AMG that dials output on the 6.3-liter (6,208cc) V8 engine to 625 PS (460 kW / 616 hp) and 680 Nm (501 lb-ft) of torque over the series 571 PS (420 kW / 563 hp) and 650 Nm (479 lb-ft) of torque.

That's 17 PS more than the 608 PS (447 kW / 600 hp) expected in the upcoming SLS AMG Black Series and in full compliance with what is allowed by Mercedes-Benz.

Total cost for the upgrade is €8026.

Mercedes ML63 AMG Carbon by Kicherer

Kicherer has unveiled a new tuning package for the Mercedes ML63 AMG.

Dubbed the Carbon Series, the crossover features "carbon-leather," Alcantara upholstery, a foil wrap and 23-inch alloy wheels.

Under the hood, the 6.3-liter V8 has been equipped with a PowerConverter and a stainless steel sport exhaust system. This enables the engine to develop 540 PS (397 kW / 532 hp) and 640 Nm (472 lb-ft) of torque - an increase of 30 PS (22 kW / 30 hp) and 10 Nm (7 lb-ft). Detailed performance specifications weren't released, but Kicherer says to expect "exciting acceleration" and a "maximum speed far in excess of 250 km/h (155 mph)."
