alphard96 6th Gear July 8, 2014 Share July 8, 2014 Cars such as these will come with electronic parking brake...which disengage when you put car into gear and step on throttle... Correct. anyway, visited Cars expo, saw S class from PI. For potential buyers, pls note that some models are short wheel base version, for me, if buy S class must get the long wheelbase version. (C&C all long wheel base version, Lexus LS borneo motors bring both short and long wheelbase). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(C&C all long wheel base version, Lexus LS borneo motors bring both short and long wheelbase). Long wheelbase is useful if got Ah Mat. If owner is the Ah Mat, what's the pt? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
