I've seen so many pictures of that car on E-bay and now thankfully it looks like it has gone to a good home.

Congratulations and happy motoring.

Jimmy Choo's, Ive had many things Ive bought comapred to them, and wasting money on wheels is the most often. My answer is simple, shoes and wheels have a lot in common, they have a simple function yet you manage to justify spending silly amounts of money on them.
You have your shoes and Ill have my wheels, everyone but the bank managers happy.

Have fun,

Will

Great looking Beastie Ian. Yes Wheels. What is it with wheels, i have decided to go for the 20" AMG's on the new SClass instead of the 19". I would never have forgiven myself.

Looks great Ian, look forward to hear from you again soon with changes you make. Hope you enjoy what is a cracker of car !

Any more mod ideas in the pipeline ?

Great car. I know we disagree on the wheels, I think the AMG 2-piece design really suits it ... and is close to the look of the original wheels. Anyway, will be interested to see it with the IVs on. Are you getting rid of the reg.?

Can't be doing with these silly bolty/nutty things.....elsewise I'd be happy enough with the wheels if they were not for the fact they are copies. As the Murray guys say "would you use replica brakes?" No brainer.

Yup...Number gone, nice new number being afixed.

if the car goes as good as it looks in the pic you'll be very satisfied with your purchase - congrats.
Every time you spend a few quid on it, remember that you are saving far more in (lack of) depreciation - good to remind the missus of this on a regular basis.

Ahh i know this car! i actually made an offer on it about 6 mths ago, i believe Nathan was selling it for some time so i made an offer with this in mind but never agreed on a final price, never got a chance to drive it but it looked very nice from what i saw. hope you enjoy it.

PS Just out of curiosity would you disclose what you paid for the beauty? Ill understand if you decline

Seems a lot of car for the money and you don't see many 7.3's around

 

[jaymanek]

[janner]

No, it's a 500 with Brabus 7.3 V12 badges and awful wheels
