I'd actually suggest editing your post to move the first pic of the red SL to the end as it's just too gorgeous and puts the rest to shame! My wife even said 'WOW!' when she saw that red SL. I love the fact that I've driven a nice example of the 280SL pagoda top! Great post, cheers. _________________ It's so cold right now that I'm thinking of catching gonorrhoea just for the burning sensation. Back to top D.

There's a TE version for sale here: http://www.thehairpincompany.co.uk/ _________________ Back to top Matt Nuclear My Car: Astra Coupe 1.8 SE2 Joined: 18 Jan 2007 Posts: 12018 Location: Plymouth, UK Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2008 12:09 pm    Post subject: That is bloody beautiful. _________________ Small car, big heart.

It is indeed, it's in my favourites!
