Dream car ...

I park my Vectra away from all the cars in the car parks to avoid dings, but when I return, someone has always parked next to me. I am sure they do it on purpoise!

 

This would be no good for your back then @fat controller

 

Most of the new car look the same

 

Not for me. I'm in the trade and as far as I'm concerned they're all god awful money pits.

One day I'll buy me one of these...................


Worked on them all my working life and they're a classic that can be used every day. Reliable and on the whole cheap to run (except for fuel consumption).

I'd give my hind teeth for a nice 300SEL 6.3 though...................


6.3 litres of tyre shredding V8 in an innocuous looking four door saloon....................

 

House and i've got wheels

 

Other half father had one nice car,

 

As I recall from my time in Oz a major speed (as in amphetamine) habit is mandatory to drive one of those.

 

Did you ever get to drive it? Floaty air suspension, 185 tyres and 6.3 litres is a dream combination!

 

They don't have short roads

 

In Oz? I do recall really long boring ones inland

 

No, but it had all the mod con's, it's was given to a guy we know and he love's it, still going but cost a forture to run

 

Bombproof reliability, but fuel and certain service jobs (the air bellows should be replaced every 50000 miles = £1000 plus) can be costly. Too much tyre smoking will shred the gearbox too.

I once drove one of these - E500 "Hammer" (already fast E500 with an uprated 6 litre AMG V8)..................


Ultimate Q car. De-badged so basically it just looked like any other E class. If you knew what you were looking at you'd spot the slightly flared arches, but Barry Boys in Scoobies tend not to know and are easily made to look like monkeys by this behemoth

 

I already own mine a Honda Crx Del Sol :-) mines a 94, 1.5 single overhead but i love it sooooooo much. I hope it never ever packs in because i don't want any other car
