Any Singapore Ferrari owners?

Haha, i was actually thinking of a 5 series or an S-class. So my son, as usual, recommended me the top of the range models; M5 and S63. But as im a businessman, an S-class will still portray a more befitting image. I have not driven the murcie for close to 2 weeks! Don't really like the low-ness of the car. Only do it to humour my boy. The things fathers do.. Haha

 

maxhp (MP) & 3 pointed stars go together like oil & water. DO NOT MIX

 

Haha. Did he used to have an E500?

 

umm .. yes .. & that is where all the trouble started!

 

I really must hear this story one day, it sounds like it might be a really interesting tale!

 

can someone please please categorically state what the factory recommended procedure is for shut down n start up, considering the varying opinions amongst us supposedly low cheow exotic car players!
also, i read somewhere its better to let car downshift from2 to1 by itself rather than manually when slowing to a stop. is this true? i do find this less jerky tho.

 

it cost me 4 bottles of red .. but it was worth it

 

from my Owner's Manual

"The engine can be turned off either with the gearshift in N or a gear engaged. After turning the ignition key from position II to position 0, the display will remain on for a few more seconds to display the gear engaged. If the gearshift is in N, a buzzer will sound."

 

never realised scuds had auto mode considering their much vaunted hard core extreme image. any massage seats?

 

cartier you have not been here one day and you've already made your first enemy! maxhp is gonna tear you apart for putting him and a merc together in a sentence. hahaha.

PS: you got the murcie coz your son liked it?!?! god, can you adopt me? i promise i'll be good!

 

Happens to E-gear as well. Probably a safety feature from heating up the clutch.

Ah yes, the guy who sells mosquito coils!

Wow, not bad looking

There's a beeping sound but only for E-gear. Yours is a manual so no music

U can try ebay. Seriously, or go on board lamb*power.com

 

oh great so we're all right. if i recall the few times i forgot to put car to neutral when shutting down,the display showed 0 as opposed to N when i started up again. does this mean car went to zero when ignition was turned on and car was in gear the whole time prior thereto, or it defaults to zero or some default park mode despite shutting down in1?

 

if it's in gear when shutting down, it remains in gear until the startup process begins .. & you can usually hear the gearbox selecting N just before the engine kicks over

 

Tim, it's the former. That's why when you turn the key, the gear display will still indicate "1". Once you step on the brake and press the red button, you can hear the gear changing to neutral before the engine cranks.

 

You beat me to it, Derek

 

great minds think a like

 

stop it!

 

I'm in KL - could be the reason my response is a tad slower than yours!!

 

Just leave a number for them to contact you. Always no resistance when I say that the key stays with me.

 

oh you mean the time difference

 

yeh but u got guns like arnie .. who's gonna argue?

 

Can a non AMG merc join? I just picked up an old horse to move abt.

U mean your 360CS? I think it's all about rev matching & if I remember right, I used to bring it to neutral & coast for a few metres before coming to a complete stop but this is only for leisurely drives.

 

Yes that and the fact that broadband speeds here are among the slowest in the world....

 

according to ben, the automatic shifting to N when car is stationary was not really anything to do with the clutch but more of a safety feature- apparently someone stopped with car in 1 ,got out of car and while trying to get back in,stepped accidentally on accelerator...

 

you want to gossip about MP as well?
