[The Boss]

Hope you are well.

seriously, what were they thinking....

please feel free to add on your suggestions.

I find the lada with the 211 round lights particularly amusing.

 

[The Boss]

*** .. the blacked out grill is a very modern touch too on the Lada lol.

I find the darth vadar black w124 hilarious... it looks like its been drapped in faded black/gray bin liners...

 

[The Boss]

I find the very first pic particluarly amusing

 

[st4]

I think that SL with the row of 3 lights is a real gem. Do you remember when top gear did a "carbage" section where they named and shamed modified motors? The call it Fazination now where they out german tuning monstrosities.

If you look closely at the checked S63, you'll see the pattern isn't quite straight

ST.. some one said the checkered car was Sean Connary's.. i dunno.. but with his scottish routes, it possible..

Yeah the SL is um.. well i can only best describe it as.. "not quite finished" lol

 

[st4]

To think Sean Connery once piloted one of the coolest cars of all time in Gold finger,and now ends up driving that tat....Age has been unkind to him on so many levels.

I am also concenred about the mutalated 190e with w221 headlamps and grill. Someone will actually think thats nice, but it just isn't.

 

[The Boss]

was it a 190e or a w124.. i dunno.. i thought it was the later

I think you may be right, but its neither now. its a mess.

Some peoples ideas of "improvement" defy belief. Obviously most are done by people with very deep pockets which once again goes to prove the ability to accumulate money and intelligence are not linked.

The sl's six lights look good, but the grill is awful.

If that's the one I think you mean, it was an SEC completely rebuilt to look like the Mercedes Vision (?) SLR, the concept car that became the SLR.

 

[The Boss]

yup you're right
