Merc....Nice.

I feel I may need to balance this forum by posting a thread containing pictures of cars that are nice.

Please do, that is minging. Nice Merc at stock, but that is utterly arse.

Rich1988 · 26 Apr 2006 at 19:41

that actually doesnt look very good :/ thought it would look better than that, looks like the suspension is shagged

Are you intending to go over roads with speed bumps?

PeterNem · 26 Apr 2006 at 22:34

Would be nice, but has been ruined by lowering it a stupid amount.

panthro · 26 Apr 2006 at 22:35

Ive got to ask you Penski......what sort of cars are you into? I think our tastes differ quite a bit, because by my standards, nearly all the cars you post are really not worthy of a thread (no offence meant).

Also, what is the deal with "rat look"? Is it just to have the most beaten up, rusty, etc car you can possibly own? What car do you drive Penski.

we raised the suspension again now it only scrapes when you dismount the speed humps

It comes from down here, Thats a Victorian P plate and it says Vic on the number plate.
Those are Australian trees aswell.
I only just noticed all this was Australian then but had my suspicions that it came from here.

Penski probably found it in google images or another forum.

Bah you just have an aversion to anything 10yrs old or more

Gotta agree with the others though, lowered any more the Merc looks silly.

You do realise the earliest E39's are 10 years old, right?

That's why I put the more bit in, and they're only just hitting the ten years old mark...

Fact is though, you always say how you need to get an E39 now because in a few years time it'll just be an old BMW. It won't, it will still be the amazing car it is now. In fact the way things are going it will probably seem better than ever, especially in the design front. Just because a car is old doesn't make it bad. Sure they need a bit more looking after, but a great car today will still be very good in the future...

Polished Mexican Hats, arch trims and furry seats?

Oooooh, yes.

I don't get it this version of 'cool'. Too lowered, chrome arch trims and furry seats :confused:

And you can keep your polished mexican hats :eek:

It could have been a nice classic merc

please do, these sheds are awful

I know its horses for courses but half of you imo have lost your minds

ironman · 27 Apr 2006 at 00:41

Well past it now, nothing on that car says 'wow' to me, maybe if it was a superb example with properly polished chrome but from the pics it just looks like a shed. I'd be interested to know what AMG internals it has too

Lopéz · 27 Apr 2006 at 00:42

Looks good as it is, but I'd lose the furry seats. I got a W123 taxi in Poland and I'm sure things were living in them.

AmDaMan · 27 Apr 2006 at 01:08

Am I missing something? Looks crap to me. :confused:

[TW]Fox · 27 Apr 2006 at 01:17

I think its time this thread lived up to its name.

There we go.

Don't forget the Mercedes McLaren SLR:
