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...

Owww, what happened to her?

KGB · Apr 26th, 2005, 06:45 AM

SOLD !
6 years of ownership was enough to satisfy my desire for a classic convertible.
Sold her to a mad bustard who had sold his biz for a motza and wanted to play with big toys. She's occasionaly spotted around Brighton.

Not bad for a trucker.

Doesnt shock me...

I saw his auction on the news - there was some truly magnificent cars there!!

I think you would find someone like the drummer from Pink Floyd would be there too...

I alos love the car collection of Jamiroquai... he is a '02 nut... still has his original 1602 BMW that he got as his first car! Plus a 2002 Turbo... and a collection of Ferrari's and Lambo's including a Ferrrari Enzo in black plus a Miura SV... and a collection of rare Italian motorbikes...

Apparantly when he broke up with his former girlfriend he drove a $100,000 mercedes G wagon into a dam on his property out of anger.

Rockstars!

Cool... still with the KGB plates?

Yeah, the numerals 280 were no good to me.....quite specific to Benzes and I dont want
the Lord to buy me a Mercedes Benz, again....or a Nissan 280ZX either...

Had a feeling thats the one you were talking about. No wonder, couldnt believe my eyes the condition it is in. Its not parked there anymore, was thinking maybe you already picked it up. Wonder if it got sold!? Hey does it come with the "pagoda roof'"?

Nice looking car. Mine was silver and bordeaux, blue top.

KGB as great a condition that white one is, yours would be my dream colour combo

/me recalls his driving incidents & general n00bness

ahhh yesss makes sense

Todd! · Apr 26th, 2005, 02:19 PM

Took him all day to think of that

Yes my avatar is me too...

The hair freakishly changed color as I got older... must have been the beach baby life I once lived.

How old were you Ross? Was this a school photo? Very cute

I dont think mine was up to the standard of the white one. If the white one is 9.5pts maybe mine was 7.5-8.0pts. It would be a crime to drive the white one daily, only special events sunny days etc....mine was a very good everyday car.

You can over restore a car to the point it is useless.

Todd! · Apr 27th, 2005, 02:41 AM

Cool... this is just one of th emany convertibles I have to have... the Porsche 356 Speedster, Cobra 427, Ferrari California from Ferris Buellers day off, Rolls Royce 100EX.

No this boy doesnt have exceptionally expensive tastes, does he ?

Gota get back to work. I have a car collection to pay for.

Bah, 100EX is for rappers and Ghetto pimps. This is the BOMB, it will be mine....oh yes it will be mine

Todd! · Apr 27th, 2005, 07:02 AM

Bentley... hassifffff!

That looks just like they were back in the 60's... get with the times.

The Roller 5H17's on the Bentley - give me a polished bonnet and suicide doors any day
Interesting fact. Bentley and Rolls Royce attribute over 50% of annual sales to African-American males...

Pro Basketballers, rappers, pimps... they know where its at

Todd! · Apr 27th, 2005, 07:04 AM

Get with the times anyway

Might as well buy some timberlands and some crummy diamond encrusted watch. I **** on Rapper cars!
And I know I cant afford it but its still over-inflated crap!. RR died after the 00' Seraph Convertible.....Which Ive had the absolute pleasure of sitting in.
