Sex On Wheelz

[Videoskooter]

I was one lucky MF today: I got the chance to ride this hot baby for 1 hour :o I don't know if you can measure an orgasm in MPH :o (Can't afford it though :cry: x 1001)

That SLR is a beautiful car Johan. Mercedes actually brought back the Gull-Wing from the 50s! Is the SLR a V8 or V12 and how was it driving that baby?

[Videoskooter]

It's a V8 Bernie, and the amazing thing: I have a Brabus SL-K8, like the one in this pic but mine's grey metallic and that's already a spiced up Merc SL.

But when you are driving the SLR, I could very quick realise the immense difference between a road and a (almost) racecar.

I've driven it on the Belgian Spa-Francorchamps F1-circuit under supervision of a testdriver from Mercedes-Benz. While I was very scared to damage the car, I drove a quick lap but then he took over and really raced with it and the experience during those rounds: WOW!! Now, I've had the chance to drive Ferrari's and the Lamborghini Murcielago but as I am very large, I'm absolutely not comfortable in those cars that's why I always had a preference for Porsches. Mercedes combines those 2:power and comfort. It was a great hour :D but financially this one's is way out of reach for me :oops:

By the way, I still prefer the 'Vettes with retractable headlights. 8)

[QUINNY]

BTW: Whatever happened to the American car industry? :lol:
Talk about a locomotive dinosuar.

I still love looking at the '63 split window Vette as well as the '71 Stingray's with the thin chrome bumpers!

So true. There's no way I would trade my trusty Toyota Camry XLE for any GM or Ford car.

[nrgbeat]

I guess having a bald head is tres chic in Belgium. :D

I think the biggest problem for Ford and GM aren't quality as much as the quarterly bottom line. With the bright and creative people at these companies, it seems they are forced to use their talents for what's hot now. Then when the trend changes, they are stuck. They had to know the gas guzzling SUV thing had to come to an end but I'm sure the execs and the board of director types couldn't see beyond the gobs of money they were making off those behemoths.
Here's an interesting article about reliability.

NRG, Belgians ARE very chique people And yes, it's fashionable here!

But...American cars! I always liked them. And last years they are releasing very interesting stuff. I do fancy the new Cadillac Range but I prefer the old school (just like Nicky I think). And I'm particulary charmed by Chrysler, the Crossfire but certainly this one


The Vettes have lost their appeal by changing the front too much (another thing I agree with Paul). The new Mustang is cool but not imported here yet. I hate the new BMW's, they're so ugly! I do agree that Japanese cars are very reliable but they are boring.

I stick with Porsche and Mercedes right now but I would like to have a go with this US beauty:

Perhaps this is even a better view of those amazing Belgians in their flying machines:

1) Unfortunately the SUV concept was exported to Europe where we have tooooo many of the goddamned things.

2) Yeah, the unreliable Japanese cars ARE MADE IN U.S.A.

Are Americans ready for the massive take up of Diesel cars that's about to take place, now that ULS Diesel is now deemed OK by your (quick on the uptake :roll:) enlightened government? Can you imagine what getting 45....50.....55.....60....65 miles per gallon in a turbo diesel car feels like?

Why are all car manufacturers replacing retractable headlights with normal boring ones? Retractable ones are so much cooler IMO.

[SandraDee]

When I was recently in New York people were complaining about the price of petrol there but you Americans still pay half the price we Brits pay! Is it any wonder I drive a car with a 700cc engine (it still goes fast though due to its light weight & turbo! 8) )
Ooh I love talking cars; after disco & men it's my favourite subject!

This baby still makes me hot and they are not that expensive lately:



BTW, I also collect 1:18 models and today I've bought this little legend:

[SandraDee]

I also collect 1:18 models

So do I! I'm so glad someone else does. I'm sure people think I'm kinda childish still collecting model cars but who cares what those non-petrol hedz think eh?! :P

[Bernie]

Oh no, you guys also collect models? Not only do I collect cars, but I'm into diecast buses as my family ran a small charter bus company back in the 70s. Check out my other site at
http://www.toybusexpo.com/
click on the "Related Vehicles" tab to see some of the cars, but I still have many others that are buried away in boxes.

[SandraDee]

Apparently they're worth so much more when they're in their original boxes if you ever wanted to sell them, but if you're like me Bernie you couldn't ever part with them. :P

[Bernie]

Johan & SD,
Good to hear their are other model car collectors here. Do you collect cars only or other vehicles?

As noted they are worth more with their boxes and I have some of the more recent ones complete, but I'm the kind of person that will take them out of the package just to admire the detail... Never understood some who buy something and never open it :-? I do the same with records... if they are sealed I rip it open and play it! It's there to enjoy.
