She still thinks she got a good deal. Well done to you. Not easing fooling them for so long.

20 years. Must be doing something right.

Yeah either that or the last guys were that much worse.

WTF

Working away from home has its downsides, but sometimes comes up with the goods. I’m lucky enough to be staying in Eindhoven this weekend, and the hotel is hosting the Dutch SLS club tonight. They started out at the Nürburgring on Wednesday & have been through various bits of France & then Luxembourg this morning to get here. Lovely, welcoming people who put up me & chatted for a bit.

I thought this thread was the most appropriate place. Enjoy!













I have a few more once imgur and the hotel wifi decides to let me load them...

Mmmm, that Manta

Dad had one in the mid 70's... 5 of us went to France in it... Concarneau, Britany from Derbyshire. With a tent on the roof and a boot full of food (1st time we'd been abroad, and mum and dad weren't sure what they be able to buy over there). Bit cramped in the back, but it was one of the best cars my dad had back then... sadly replaced by a Simca!

Part 2
(it does say 427 on it)


and these are required for trips over a half-hour apparently.


The only z in the group

[Prinny]

last one (ish). it got a bit busier - this is the overflow public car-park.

Have to agree

There’s some nice looking cars there

I’ll take the Escort and Junior Zagato too

Auction

I was expecting 20 grand but 10 minutes to go only 10599.

Handsome car, but not in that colour!!

[Leins]

Seems to have sold for £11,700. Recall Prince having a DY one in a video, but may have been an 850i

Agreed, that Zagato looks utterly fab doesn't it

[Prinny]

Last two, Imgur finally got around to uploading... The first is good, the second a little sad.



And the valiant warriors, fallen by the wayside.

Some batst Stuttgart fodder from me this evening.....

Batst crazy cars, batst crazy prices.. at least for the CLK and EVO!

Clarkson has a CLK Black (or he had one)... I’d have put them at c.£100k without checking. Close to 300 seems a bit, err, optimistic!

The EVO looks properly mental.

A CLK Black is indeed £100k

Excuse my ignorance! Didn’t have a good enough look at the CLK.... though have to admit I wasn’t familiar with the DTM version.

[Fast Bug]

Brabus 190 for me please, Evo would be a close second though

[Crook]

CLK DTMs limit the top speed to 155mph when the winter tyre 'option' is selected.

Also what a great selection of cars and the dawn chorus must have been tremendous!!

Thanks for posting the photos.

It's like a grown up 'Jolly' and with the 145 Alfa cloverleaf twinspark I think it'd be an ideal holiday seaside runabout, if you lived somewhere where a roof was only there to keep the sun off rather than the rain out.
