the 'what car' musings thread

[shirt]

have been past al balawi when they didnlt have any in, but they've a red 964 there atm. i'm not really looking now though until september.

[oilydan]

I might be in the market for a sub-100k autobahn stormer in the coming months. That M5 might have been an option but I was feeling like streching to a Mazer Gransport t'other day.

Anything could happen! I'll post my musings with Yorky, there really are some awesome sub 100K cars out there, none of which are appropriate for the commute, but damn, they look nice....

Saw a lovely mazer parked up today and thpught...Hmmmmm...
Right, the Durango is off. So, it's either an Armada, an older Patrol, or a Tahoe. That takes care of the 4x4...Now, for me?

at least with the e39 you'll be able to live with the occasional wallet raiding. the maser will be raping it on a weekly basis.

[dxbtiger]

Is the e39 being discussed the red Hammann one?

Sure it goes well, just looks a bit Satwa G unfortunately.

'Spose it wouldn't take much to get it looking sleeper ish again.

put BMW badges back on and colour code the black bits and it'd be a huge improvement imo

Debadge it completely, wrap it matt gunmetal grey, now we are talking.

I am in the US atm and have come across a really nice 964 C2 1990. Red, manual...64 k miles with total history...any ideas what it would be worth in UAE?

[Hitch78]

AED1000 max, seriously. Don't worry I'll still take it though. I'm nice like that. When can you bring it round?

[shirt]

i bid 1000AED, your shipping costs, and some ultra rare heinz salad cream

the C2's i've seen have been around AED85K as jap imports, tidy but with no history. i got the one i was interested in down to 75K but he won't go further. as you've seen, it's cost competitive to import a US garage queen.

if you're anywhere near colorado you could go check out that supercharged C4 for me [posted a couple of days ago].

All that Stang needs is a rim change and it's good to go.... (provided my man gives it the thumbs up)

Some serious metal in that selection

[shirt]

the stang, 930 tubby and impala are all on my list too. however:

the pork says it needs paintwork and has awful wheel and a 964 bumper/mirrors. maybe a bitsa.

the stang looks wrong with the hoodscoop and chin spoiler to my eyes which isn't standard and also wrong for a gt350 clone.

can't say much against the impala except it's so bloody enormous!

oh, and 90k for the speedster is having a giraffe given how unsuitable it is for use over here!

[oilydan]

That Camero looks like a serious bit of kit though...

no scam, it's a replica. works out around £15k which is reasonable for one, but it'll have a 1.6l VW engine, no aircon, a kit-car soft-top [e.g. chocolate teapot] and a fibreglass body of unknown origin.

if, and i mean IF, it's a Beck then i would be tempted to go look at it.

Or by someone with a mouth full of Super! Think I'd prefer a pimped up wrangler or such...

I'd be happy with that without any mods. But as with the Tomb Raider posted earlier, such a shame they both have the TD5.
