Have You Seen Any Interesting Cars On The Road Lately?

[SmartAmg]

....what do they say about money and taste!!!?

Different it is, nice it's not. Each to there own, S'pose.

 

[SpikyMikey]

Mmm, that's got me thinking, is there somebody else? Gizza clue.

I'm sure there must be someone.....

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

Thanks. I googled it and got nothing.

I may be wrong then

I like the chunky Tonka Toy look of the G-Wagen in standard form.
That is just a bit OTT though IMO.

That will be the contrasting bonnet addenda I reckon. Always specify your Brabus Widestar without the bonnet “add on” (as Brabus call it)

Thanks Mr D. I'll bear that in mind when I'm looking to place my next order.
Can you spec it without the plastic add on bits behind the front and rear arches as well?

Yes, I forget how integrated those particular pieces are now, but as long as it’s separate - and doesn’t make the adjoining pieces look daft (eg recess or connector) - then they’ll happily leave it off.

In my experience, dealing directly with the factory makes this stuff so much easier than buying from authorised Brabus agents in the UK. I can introduce you to someone who’ll look after you

I'm probably not in the market for a G, but if I was and wanted to make it look a bit different, I probably go with this; modded but quite subtle

Then again, you may be right (she'll be right!)

Maloo

"The HSV Maloo is a performance utility that has been produced since 1990 and was based on the Holden Ute. Its distinguishing features have been high-performance V8 engines and full body kits.[5] The name "Maloo" means "thunder" in an Aboriginal language. It is said that former HSV managing director, John Crennan, coined the name for the vehicle after reading a book on Aboriginal Australians.

I saw this today, parked in the "Loading & taxis only" bay that was in front of a cracking little cafe that I visited. (Poached eggs & avocado on sourdough toast FTW )

I guess that those loading bay only rules don't apply if you drive a Flying Spur ?

Perhaps it’s a delivery driver who enjoys their comfort?

As in Ettore Bugatti's famous quote: “Mr Bentley is a very clever man to make his lorries go so fast”

Perhaps, but I don't know of any delivery drivers who look after their vehicles as well as that looked to have been maintained.
It was immaculate, and pristine. Looked like >3 years old, not over 30y old . A true credit to whoever lavishes their attention on it imho.

Bloody yuppie!

Or whatever the modern version is.

In Switzerland, a 280SL with 111,000 Km on the clock for sale. No sticker price, though:

It’s not often that you see a Ferrari Enzo on the road

It looked beautiful!






I also saw this Maserati. I thought it looked cool until I saw the Ferrari

Maserati MC20, there was one at a recent meet. Lovely car, but like you say, I would imagine it was overshadowed by that particular prancing horse.

Depends what the horse is...

A couple of years ago I was driving my Mustang through the town with the roof down following a Ferrari.

My Mustang is a 1994 model so not well recognised but I heard a guy at the side of the road say to his wife "wow look a Mustang".

No mention of the Ferrari at all!

Lovely cars, no match for an old ML on track though

You can hardly see that ML behind those huge Ferraris......

That's why I stated 'that particular' prancing horse. Other Ferrari's are 10 a penny and just run of the mill cars, nothing too special.
