Damn you move fast Bas! At least sourcing spares isn't too difficult then!

+1 on the XJS too.

Did the dirty deed.

xjs, you better now what you get into with these

but sound choices

[Dr.AK]

How bad is the damage Bas?

Got the coils fitted on the daily today.

I'm really not doing this 'daily' business too well.

Well, just the side moulding is scratched. Already picked up a new one in matching color from a guy I know who parts out A8s... guy currently has 6 of them! Ona A8 4.2 as his daily, one S8 he's fixing up for himself and 3 more 4.2s to part out, along with a TDI to part out.

all three options do not sound like dailys...except the car with the engine in the wrong place is a smart...

They all sound like sensible dailys to me.

loekaaz is a man after my own heart.



That said, I'm kinda wanting another car sometime this year.
Dreaming about Porsche 928s, Mercedes 560SEC and Jaguar XJS lately... hurrrr

Kind of finding that I'm less and less excited by cars with less than 8 cylinders...

yup all of the above and yes LHD, overtaking is a bitch with the steering wheel on the wrong side

or a cedric

look at this boss mobile



or a lil more daring



and yes i know i said excessive camber and all that shit, but i still like the crazy japs

[MadMax]

IŽd love an oldschool Marx X or Cefiro but finding one in alright condition is f..king hard.

[loekaaz]

MarkXXX, Cressida, Cresta, Chaser, Laurel, Cefiro and Skylines?

i sometimes wish we got the cool japanese 4 doors over here

I always ***** those CLKs but they look pretty alright when low.

One friend of mine calls them "The Whale mobile"

I quite like them when properly executed

This one has potential

Some nice wheels, lows, and a can of taillight red on the rears. KABOOM.





EDIT: some inspiration

[loekaaz]

If you just ingnore the rust, plastidip it, of rolling it matte black, I think this will be quite a nice and luxury ride for the money

And this one seems quite rust free...

Also: W208 CLK's seem to rust less than the W210 and W202's (which are by far the worst. Like, old Alfra Romeo-bad)
