I prefare the original steel wheels... trying to find a set is the trick

Were colour co-ordinated steel wheels the originals, like these?



Your alloys look very familiar though. Were they the orginal alloys on the W123 maybe?

unklerosco

Yes to both answers....

I believe the really bling thing to do these days is to leave the car as it was originally. I am amazed at the reaction I get to my latest buy - the Golf Gti - people just can't believe unmodified examples still exist and it really stands out among the oh so similar modified Golf Gti's.

Oops - I see I have not posted a pic of it with the rest of my cars - well when this thread started it was still only in the day dreaming phase. Just goes to show a month is a short time in the world of classic cars.

There's one on the original wheels... Seemingly the springs where cut so much on that car it just rests on the bump stops.. Nice n comfy.

Altenator in mine should be ready by tomorrow so i'll be back on the road on tue..

A couple of pics of my '57 beetle

My Foci.

Some times I love it, sometimes I hate it.

Mostly I'm just bored with it.:v:

Lovely oval Justin. I reckon t'would look nicer with solid or five-spoke retro cragars, but then that's just a matter of personal taste.

We have an undercover on our hands

To the GTi owner, thats what pisses me off about looking for "performance" versions of hatchbacks. There are so few sold in this country, finding one without tacky mods, that hasn't been crashed or in good nick is quite hard.

Fair play to ya.

Moderators - I think we need another motoring forum category "Unmodified cars" - is a growing trend you know!

I prefer plain-clothes. Have to agree with you, a guy down the road has a Saxo VTS I think, very clean car

The ones from the original 911, five spoke lookalikes with black insets? If so, perfick!

Yeah, they're the ones.
911 Fuchs

Have to say I'm a big fan of unmodified cars myself. Minor subtle mods are ok though.

What Merc am I looking at???

xzanti

Dont have a pic but my bf has a Subaru Impreza STI Type R which I finally got to drive today and F*ck me I wanna drive it again His face was white as I rolled away from the hard shoulder hee hee (Its his pride and joy).. I did well though.. Bit different to my Nissan Micra I have a taste for speed now (not the narcotic kind)

Greenman

Here's mine 1990 Opel Vectra 1.7D 125,000 Km's on the clock!!!
Gets me from A to B!!!
No hiding the number plate here!! Belgian system you hold the same number plate till you stop driving, interesting way of doing things!!!

Looks very well.
Is it your first Merc?
What mileage?
Are you happy with it?
How long do you have it?
Any problems?
As mentioned I would hope the next car is an old Merc!!!

Thanks alot JD!!!

I'd say it was most likely him since he lives in the Blanchardstown area...(I know where he lives cause I recognised the appartments behind the car & pass by them every day)....to clarify I am not a stalker

Yep. Blanch would be her regular stomping ground alright. Probably just out for her daily exercise .
