That's lovely

Yep spot on, Grade 4 interior B (standard, no cig burns etc).
My biggest challenge is finding OEM parts. Buying an ashtray from New Zealand wasn't cheap. I'm currently on the hunt for a replacement drivers seat belt as mine is quite frayed.

Haha I see the love for the drug dealer wheels is not showing in this thread.
Always had it planned to be done. 0930 tomorrow and there booked in.
Does anyone have a link where I could find the original colour so it can be matched? i don't know the name but I found a model in the original colour:

Might be Avus Silver, but different models have used slightly different silvers over the years.

i swear someone was making aftermarket belts now. i think it was continental.

Let me get this out of the way.... Why?
Still lovely cars though
Have you done essentially what Gibbo was on about with his SVR?

Those McLarens are ten a penny. Just look how many there are in that one picture alone.
Lovely colour E92 M3 in the background though.

That Skyline looks superb, you did well buying that!
As for my post, I don't really know where else to put this so I'll just pop it in here. Yesterday I spent the day driving the stupidest car I've ever driven, my boss's GLS 63 AMG. Now at first I wasn't driving, someone else was, and at one point he floored it unexpectedly and my head almost fell off. The unexpected acceleration was brutal, to the point where I was in a crap state of discomfort. Now don't get me wrong, I love fast stuff, but you just don't expect something the size of a Sprinter and the weight of a London bus to haul ass like that. It'll do 0-60 in 4.6, has almost 600bhp and 600 lb/ft of twist. All 7 seats fold electrically, it has every option you could possibly think of and yet I can't think of a worse way to blow over £100k. You could easily buy a comfy 7 seater and a sporty toy for that money, quite why this thing exists is beyond me (popular in China apparently).
What I will say is that the noise is absolutely ridiculous, complete asbo wagon.
I asked my boss why he didn't simply go for a diesel, his answer? "diesel is bad for the environment"
Top bloke, multi-billionaire too. This is the same guy who has a genuine, original Porsche Speedster just sitting under a tarp in his storage area gathering dust.
This is the best vid of that epic noise I could find:

My cousin just got a GLS 63 AMG. Bloody ugly car tbh. Not been in it yet but heard it's fun.

Had a go of one of those a while ago, it was a Brabus tuned one, either 700 or 800 BHP, can’t remember for sure.
I absolutely loved it and would buy one tomorrow if I had the money. The sound and acceleration were ridiculous

Looks like they feature some pretty decent noise clips on their website as well, to be fair it makes perfect sense as it's definately a unique selling point!
