What Car Do You Own?

Oh yeah. Just to ensure I'm tacky, those are AMG wheels.. on a regular car lol

The new S63 V8 is quite nice, but I prefer the more comfortable regular car interior. Carbon fiber, aluminum and all that stuff should be left to sports cars. The S65 V12 is beyond ridiculous. I actually like the S600 V12 best, but I prefer to focus my attention on sports cars. Anyway, the car is fast enough for reliable family transporation. Any more comfortable and I may fall asleep at the wheel.

Hehe.

At least you have a V8 Merc :)

Wow Ian, that is one hell of a nice ride. :)

I bet your son can't wait to get his drivers permit. I'd be wicked excited (more than I was) because of the cars you own. Heck, I'm happy driving my Parents' cars around town with them (2002 Explorer XLT and a 2003 Grand AM SE v6), I can't imagine learning on a Mercedes. :slobber:

Mitchell will be 12 in February lol Pimp? I don't know if he can be a pimp rofl... He shouldn't steal his dad's fantasy job!!

Thought i’d added our latest rides but went back 10 pages or so and couldn’t find em so sorry if its a double post.

The 55 is putting weight on with added sounds and and DVD's where as mine is loosing weight for a time trial from Lands end to John O Groats in a couple of weeks once the weather sorts itself out which i'm really looking forward to.

Unimog!! Unimog!! I love that Unimog!!

It's a pretty awesome ride, the gearstick is about the size of my arm :lol: (just as a reference, I am 1.95m tall ;))

That's actually a pic before we "fixed" it up, as in sort of restaurated it. It's still in use in the forest, but I don't have an updated pic anywhere... *reminds self to take pic next time out there*

Of course! You're from Hannover. Of course you like Audi! I've never met a Bavarian who doesn't prefer BMW hehehe... just kidding. Seriously, go to Stuttgart (or anywhere else in Baden Wurttenburg or Bavaria or the South in general), and you would be hard pressed to find a well heeled German who would prefer Audi over MB. I know that you Prussians prefer your VW/Audis :p:

hope you like a bumpy/annoying ride BD

Well, in recent years there have been MANY die-hard BMW/MB fans turning to Audi, as the design is just that much sweeter (at least for the BMW fanboys), or the ride is just sportier (for the MB fanboys) and costs a lot less (for both :ROTF:). It used to be like that, but not anymore ;) Oh, and just by the by, Audi is located in Ingolstadt, which is also in the South ;)

Nothing wrong with that. Look at my Jetta right now; you don't think its already a bumpy ride? Makes it all better when I can watch my gf's boobies bounce around in the car :shocked:

Plus, the Exige S is meant for one thing, going fast and sticking turns at speed. I think I'll be fine.

What he said, try the race on a track, and I bet my rig that the Lotus will beat you ;) (unless you drive a Porsche 911-like handling car :p:)
