It's not too bad. OK, so it is, but it's quite funny.

Actually looks like it's been done to quite a high standard, even if in lower taste.

but what's up with the rear nearside - collapsed spring or sommat

Umm, it's a Low Rider!!

only on one quarter?

It's on hydraulics Pammy. Seems the front goes up and down 8" and the back 10".

Whatever floats your boat.

but surely that's the whole back end and/or front end - those pics make it look like the rear nearside is much much lower than the offside. Well to me they do anyway

You didn't read the advert did you Pammy! You are loosing your stret cred rapidly. They won't let you go on the Saturday night cruises any more if you keep on like this!

oops - no I didn't - didn't even see the link hidden underneath the piccies

I blame it on camping in the Dales for a few days - addles the brain

See - now if I'd read the ad first it would have all been clear - havnig now been and done that

 

[imadoofus]

I can't believe anyone bid for this! But of course, Eugene's got all that money now....

 

[Thmsshaun]

May be woth a punt actually if for nothing else just to take the ICe out. Some decent stuff in their. Would cost a fortune to buy new

 

[kikkthecat]

Not my cup of tea but someone has spent a LOT of time and money on that car.

How to ruin a good car !...I reckon the guy who built it should get a job... ..He is obviously very creative...

 

[grober]

plastic toy??

Its a plastic toy you get with a Macdonalds happy meal photographed thro one of these funny fisheye lenses isn't it?? Seems a bit pricey tho

 

[mickl]

if he'd kept the exterior a bit more standard and without the superbling wheels it'd actually look alright as I wouldn't mind the low rider gubbins . Pity he's not uprated the engine as the hydraulics must make up half the weight of the car.

Sooo, being invited to bid on a pimped but otherwise not very special 1989 190E with full low rider hydraulics powered by four heavy duty 24v batteries that require an external charger. That is indeed going to add up to a lot of weight, so maybe not surprising it only gets used as a show car!

However, although the wheels are a horror, the floor mats are in a class of their own. Really must get me some of those!
