Nice pic Ross, you look about 5?

n00b · Apr 26th, 2005, 12:33 AM

$90k for that? I'd rather bring a LHD over from the US of A and it doesn't need to be right hook converted since it's over 30 years old.

ScottyB · Apr 26th, 2005, 12:42 AM

Congrats Nick

Looks good

Do it Nick... buy this one - have a look at the inner guards, the trim etc. It is perfect!

You wont be able to get one this good for the price I wouldnt think.

IT IS CONCOURSE! Just make sure they are the right wheels for it...

As for Ross... that was only last week

haha

KGB · Apr 26th, 2005, 02:20 AM

as an ex-280SL owner, those wheels were a dealer fit option from 1970.....
Nice looking car. Mine was silver and bordeaux, blue top.

Cheers.

Doing a US car is alot more trouble than you might think. European cars (preferrably German) are much easier to get road worthiness. Plus US cars are usually full of rust due Convertibles usually being a west coast thing. Plus German cars are usually in great condition and who wants to look like a fool driving a LHD anyways.
However, no rushing into this as theres plenty of them out there.

Thanks for the low down... I always thought you were a pretty stylish bloke!

Silver - well you cant go wrong.

Did you sort out anything with Aaron yet?

Todd! · Apr 26th, 2005, 03:13 AM

Nick - yeah, I think the new sig is pretty neat.

It incorporates my new business logo... (the intertwined TODD) as well as my clear movement from MINI back to BMW.

As for the Merc. You are right, plenty of time - but the price is rising... It will look magnificent in with the Lotus'!

Do you have KGB 000 - KGB 999?

Looks like Pentridge? Was that the day you got out?

Not all of them but a couple....the good ones....like KGB-911.

St Ignatius Church, you heathen. The old Pope was temporarily 'stationed' there in the 70's before he was famous.

Todd! · Apr 26th, 2005, 04:25 AM

LOL - almost right.... one is a house full of criminals, the other is a gaol... controversial! LOL

KGB-911 - you used that already? Or future? A nice black 911 turbo with the KGB pates would look tops

enzothemaddog · Apr 26th, 2005, 04:53 AM

THIS...is what I REALLY want. But half a mills abit rich this month

KGB · Apr 26th, 2005, 04:55 AM

Linday Fox sold one or two the other day....ground ups and all....
Bugger of an 'every day driver' though with those silly doors...

Todd! · Apr 26th, 2005, 05:11 AM

Yeah - good old Lindsay Fox... Good example of hard work and determination paying off.

The guy has one of the best garages ever!

The doors on the 300SL would always be hitting on the roof of my garage!

KGB · Apr 26th, 2005, 05:49 AM

Drove her more or less daily for 5 years...absolutely wonderful time it was too.
The car was in very very good nick and was well maintained. They like to be driven daily,
and she went where I went. (no dirt rds though..) As I live and work in the same suburb,
and am a reasonably friendly bugger, the old girl was well known and well 'watched' by
the locals whenever parked anywhere, I always felt secure that way...she was a part of the community like an old draught horse (maybe a bad comparison..?).

By the way a much nicer car to drive with the hardtop on than as a convertible, although still nice as a convertible...Benz engineering back then was amazing, felt like a 10 year old car not a 30 yr old..

enough emotional rambling from me...

I was reading a magazine once which listed the top ten collections around and he was about 8 or 9 I think. Behind people like Ralph Lauren, Sultan of Brunei, Some billionaires, Italian Dukes, etc.
Not bad for a trucker.
