Pics of my cars (F430 (2x), 599, 997 GT3 RS, SL550, CLK63...

[Iwan]

amazing, always thought I'm crazy changing 7 cars in 14 months,
of course different level but this just tops everything!

good choice on the SLR, have seen a couple in real life, the only thing missing
on that one is the sound output.

have fun with all your beasts!!

regards

It's a one time opportunity. If you take into account what the car costs the airfare is pocketchange.

Wow, man... I want to be like you in the future

SLR is a great car, one of my favourites and i'm sure you will enjoy it. A pitty the 997T had to go, but it's all great when a SLR is coming though

Congratulations for the trade.

Must..... Not..... Flame.......

Stay....... on...... topic........ ugggggh.... so....... much..... hate..... of....... american cars.....

I think that it is safe to say that Michael hasn't been on an aircraft of any kind in at least 20 years... but i think even longer (sometime in the 70's)

[cooperluke]

LOL... I think the money isn't the issue...

The problem is that an airplane has that "naughty habit" of taking the wheels of the ground...

It would be funny... someone buying an SLR, and then not going to the factory to save money!


In fact.... almost as funny has someone having and driving cars that can do 300km/h, but being afraid to fly!

It is a whole lot of pages LOL... but its a nice way to spend a bit of time

Also, a friend who bought a CGT in early 2005 had one on order originally, stopped the order, and bought his at 40,000$ off MSRP... and didn't fly to Weissach, or Stutgart to do any of the available options for pick up, or pre-ordered costomer events, and is quite happy he saved 40,000$... but... I have another friend who has one, and is quite happy to have flown to Germany for the special costomer options, and doesn't regret it whatsoever...

different strokes for different folks

[TT]

While reading your post I was hoping for a "new" color and not one of the two original ones, but well, silver will do and damn, what a nice addition to the collection, although it's pretty sad to see the 997 already go!

[sameerrao]

I change my shorts about as frequently as Mike changes his cars... I guess it is time for my change then ... see you later

I have not been checking up on the comings and goings in this thread for ages. Sorry to read about the passing of your dog! Hope you have a nice 07

Oh yeah guys...... go ahead and just keep picking on my sorry 'old' spoiled brat ass! :prr: Just cause I'm afraid to fly (in an airplane) and not go over 120 mph or so in a car doesn't mean I'm a 'candy ass' or..... does it???

Heck... I use to drag race across the nation and once hit a guard rail at around 100-110 mph. Didn't roll the car (1967 Camaro Super Stocker) but the accident would have made a fantastic Coca Cola commercial. After I got out of the car and the "Hurst Safety Safari Team' got to me, they asked me if I was OK? I responded to them by saying "I'm alright... do you have a Coke?... gimme a Coke!" :shocked!:

You've guys got to remember, I'll be 59 next month. Back in the 60s, if I had these cars then, I might have been as 'wild and crazy' like most of you 'young shi_ts' are nowadays! You'll see, as you get older and wiser, you'll value the time you have left here on Earth and slow down a little.

Plus, if you promise be nice to me... I'll send you an autographed picture of me and the SLR signed 'The Beast and the Chicken'! :roflmao: The Mags

[Erez]

^ I know what you mean, even I in my age (:roll: ) am "slower" then I was a few years ago.. (could be tho its just the I now dont have a car and just drive what i can leech from people and 3-4 years ago I had a some really fast wheels , time will tell I guess.. )
anywho, will be waiting for those postcards or even an "E-card"

PS- do feel free to share more stories and be sure to take a Coke with you in the SLR, as you'll be doing 120 in no time
