*rubs thighs*

fewer stickers and maybe a lamp or two off the front, though.

One for CFH?

Carlos FanHango?

that’s hideous

Take Brakes out and shoot him 😆

quite happily see that crushed under a large tree 😉

…..whilst leaning over the great white telephone, in a desperate plea to communicate with Hughie or Ralph.

That car is truly fugly.

and now Klunk, shame to see good men go but thems the rules 😉

sigh not the Panther 😥

This is how a Panther rolls… 🙂

There’s a nice car there behind all the deformities.

Ah, the near legendary Rote Sau.

Big, brutal and awesome. Served it’s retirement as a test bed for fighter jet landing gear!

😀 @ Klunk!

6.8 litres, what’s not to like 🙂

that’s hideous

My first reaction…but it’s a grower. 🙂

We still talking about the car, DD?

I think you’re seeing a small “L” that’s not there O’Flashearty! 😀

…but it’s a growler.

FTFY

Aw…too slow ^^

I always seem to come second 😉

It’s supposed to be ugly, it’s a racing car, not a posers car – ‘purposeful’ is really what it is.

I still think it looks cool as.

It appears home made, has AMG written on it, and looks like a recipe for death.

Is WCA back at work yet?

Absolutely love it!

Dread to think about the parts prices though… Some bits are expensive for a standard W123 coupé.

Have to say though that our local Merc dealer is incredibly helpful and that some parts are very reasonable.

I would be proud to have made that beast!

Modern AMG are a bit tamer. The AMG SLK55 has a 5.5 litre engine and only kicks out 354bhp. My current looney tuned version is the Klemann S8 SLK. Back in the spirit of the early AMGs although a little more understated.

I still think it looks cool as.

Imagine that in the rear view mirror!

Julian, did I spot yours out of the corner of my eye the other day?

That’s because your a gentleman 🙂

Julian, did I spot yours out of the corner of my eye the other day?

Quite possibly CFH, we did drive past yours a couple of times the other day.

She’s great: getting a few things sorted out and it’s all looking good. Just another seven grand or so and she’ll be perfect. Currently returning about 20 mpg. Soooo nice to drive!

Went to Mercedes Benz World yesterday and saw this thing in the metal.

Awesome.

The 300SL Gullwing is pretty nice too, as are the 190SL and the 280SL (which is the one driven by Jodie Kidd in the title sequence of the Classic Car Show).

Great afternoon out (free entry) and right next door to the Brooklands Museum.
