Don't like Mercs.
The fact that there are almost no standard extras like Xenon headlights and air con - means you have to pay for every add-on apart from the frickin' shell - makes them not that hot either. Needs a bit of AMG tuning as well ;)
Also, the SL looks a bit dated compared to the new S and C class. Still wouldn't mid one though!
Bit of an upgrade though, from Passat to SL600...:D
first i was looking at SL500
but than i saw the 600, mmm such a hottie
here are my 4 choices
Honda Prelude 2002 (every little bit of feature added)
BMW Z3
Benz SL500
or
Benz SL600
am waiting for 2 contracts to approve
if they do
me gets a SL600
:)
You can't get SL600 here, only upto 500 :(
The BMW Z3 M is pretty tasty...3.2 340-ish BHP. How about the Honda S2000? That's classy.
I knew someone who owned a CLK430, that was a nice interior, two tone leather seats, sat nav, xenon lamps air con etc. Pretty good looking car as well.
pffftt mercs pffftt You want a real car come over here and get a holden VX GTS or wait till the coupe comes out!
Buuuut since your not going down to OZ you'll probably have to deal with having something with a little less brute quality.
What about a Nissan 200sx the brand newies!
i dont like the looks of honda roadsters
only preludes and accords
and i really dont care about the power
just something that LOOKS nice
see i might even get a new passat
i rally love its loooks:)
i only like german and jap cars :)
Screw the GTS, get the GTS-R. 410bhp!! c'mon!Quote:

Ok i'm sorry GTS-R. How do you know about our cars your a pom?

chrisjk He did say he wanted something that looked good!
boyz boyz
:)
i thought someone mentioned a car from OZ
thats y i said jap n german car only
ya its a LOT of money between sl500 and 600

Really?? I didnt know that!
I wouldnt think they were popular over that way!
You'll love the new Panel Van then!
are subarus OZ'S?
They ain't popular (i've never seen one), but they are good and we can get them!Quote:

No, they're Jap or Korean something like that...Quote:

Jeez, you must be rich, lol :D

Base Price $128,950
i thought they were OZ'S considering that crocadile dundee guy is their number one commercial star
Just checked, Subraru is Jap...Quote:
"Subaru" is a Japanese word meaning "unite", as well as a term identifying a cluster of 6 stars. In 1953, 5 Japanese companies merged to form Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. The new corporation adopted the Subaru cluster of stars as the official logo for it's line of cars".
Wynd
if i get these to contracts
i will afford it
they are just wiating for approval :)
Well if you get it you can send some of that $$$ this way!
Pleeeeease.:)
Nope Jap Crocodile dundee really we dont get that one probably because it would piss us off!
He's american anyway! Well more seppo than oz!
Technically the only true australian car is the Oka 4WD Holden is owned by GM! But made here and exported from here!
Mitsubishi, toyota and ford also make there cars here!
What about a supra Kovan?
sorry kovan, but an SL600 is an old mans car - the only choice you should make is either:
Subaru 22B
Mitsubishi Lancer Evloution VII
I'll throw teh Audi TT into the ring here. Most fun I ever had on 4 wheels :D
Well, I'm happy with my 1992 Rover Montego Estate!
Ok, so I'm not really but I can't afford anything else. :(
My 2nd car was an MG montego. Looked like a brick but was pretty fast...
Do you keep the dogs in the back ;)
Strange question... but er.. yes as it happens!:)Quote:

Hey Gaffer,
Does your TT tend to go very sideways if you lift off the throttle round corners? Or did you send it back for the mods?
It's just that every montego estate I've seen has 2 dogs in the back... ;)Quote:

Crispin,
I don't own a TT (it's impractical owning a car in SE1 anyway!), but I've hired the 225bhp version a couple of times. I think the one's I hire are the new model that fixed the problem you described above. Have you been in one?
Yeah, much fun, not raw enough for me though...(GGGRRRRR) :D
Nor meQuote:

Mercedes Unimogs are OK though;)
True, but the lines are to die for on that motor. And 130mph on the M27-M3 interchange isn't bad gonig :DQuote:

My boss has got a imported lexus ls300. it's the sport version and is a3 1/2 litre twin turbo jobby. I had to take 4 pairs of underwear when we was going 160mph down the m23 :eek:
all cars mentioned in this thread are FINE cars
but i REALLY want a benz
SL600 are like 1930's style
and damn it looks good
i just had another job interview today
so see how that goes
if they pay me say 120k/year
i will just buy that SL600 without thinking twice
but thats not gonna happen so i might just need more than new job interview
*kovan drives down the street with a SL600, his bumper sticker says "Member of VB-World..."*
ha ha
At those speeds you want people to keep away...so don't bother with "Take care: baby on board" signs -- they don't work anymore. Try "Take care: nitroglycerine on board" ;)
What a horrible thought, Kovan on a friday night slips on his favourite lime green kaftan, and goes crusing for chicks in his passat:eek:
Sorry i need to get this off my chest!
Mercs suck big time!
Now you europeans will go off at me but down my way they're are mostly driven by West Coast Eagle Supporters whom u should also now suck as well!
Plus they cost heaps i dont look that good anyway bit like saabs!
Sorry to everyone who's gonna go nuts at me about F1 and the mclaren F1 etc. and SL this but i'm not a fan of them at all.
You'd understand if you came from OZ!
I like Lincoln Towncars.. they look so cool :cool:
hmmm i dont know what you been smoking but benz have been one outstanding company for many yearsQuote:

yes they are expensive
but you pay for what you get
*takes out his gun, diss benz and have your head blown off*
I think the problem is the people who drive mercs down here. Keep digging kovan there is a major landmine planted in this forum for you. So far three members involved in it;)Quote:
