    Happy Birthday Sun Ra!!!

    Our Lead Bitch Extraordinaire turned 13.  Whilst she's been ill and needs the harness to get up, she's turned the corner and is ready for the track again.  If you're on the track in deep snow in a blizzard, or after dark, you can count on her to get you throughSmiley

    The 13 is my lucky number...all the best for her and c'mon, she's not a bitch, she's just a pretentious lady. Smiley Smiley

    Everything looks so cozy in this picture...

    And on the TRX front, the Smartcap ordered many moons ago finally showed.  Designed and launched in Australia, they have some minor engineering to optimize for 6 months of winter, but customer service is responsive, it looks good and we shall see in time before the second TRX arrives.

    Haha,

    The 280 SL headed home soon, the 356 SC Cab search continues.  

    Meanwhile, it occurred to DaDa that the Crewe needed a modern drop top for cruising to town and picking up chix.  2 choices:

    New 2022 MANUFAKTUR Alpine Grey Non-Metallic Mercedes-Benz AMG® SL 63 Roadster image 8- or

    2023 M8

     


    Re: SUN'S LAST RUN TO WILSON, WY - 991 C2S CAB LIFE, END OF AN ERA (Part II)

    I'm leaning BMW as

    1. the doors can be locked with car running and AC on for the Crewe, whilst it can't in the Merc
    2. the Mercedes 63 SL has a slutty Las Vegas look inappropriate when living in the clarity and purity of the Rockies
    3. the rear seats are larger in the M8, although in both cars BoomBoom and Sun Ra sit in the 2 rear seats, Sabre lies up the centre console, and Sir Cosmic Messenger sits in the passenger seat
    4. the M8 has a regular drop top button, whilst in the Merc you must hold your finger on the screen for 15 seconds
    5. the M8 is 0-60 in 2,5 seconds --wow 
    6. M8 has a smaller, less ridiculous screen
    7. My last Merc experience was lemoning my E63S wagon when the transmission failed first year

    I would greatly appreciate your comments and opinions on which to go for, thanks and cheerskiss


    Re: SUN'S LAST RUN TO WILSON, WY - 991 C2S CAB LIFE, END OF AN ERA (Part II)

    SL… Very nice ride. Drove the SL63 a short while ago, I loved it but not a 207k EUR love (this is what my dealer asked for it). Beautiful car though. Have you seen it live and driven it?

    If you want something with less design but more practicality, I guess the M8 is the better choice. It is a very good car, one of the doctors I work with has one and he is full of praise about it. No issues so far.

    I've seen it live in white [ the only new inbound one is atlas grey w black interior - which needs the grey top but of course they ordered black]: ridiculously large front star, and the slutty, hookerish look I mentioned targeted for young twerps in LA leasing and barely affording their image mobile....

    the order cycle these days is 9 months - but I'd order silver or grey with a grey top to achieve the monochromatic look I like in cabs, with?? grey interior [would show dog mud] but black smarter.

    M8 -- The Brooklyn grey [almost silver], black even w the orange stripes, or brown interior, pccb if I happen on them [few dealers ordered them], same comment about mud for grey interiors....

    HAHA -- most of it looks good, except your co-owners are the clowns and dicks that purposely leave that silly rear spoiler up all the timeheart SL is a completely new design so jury way out on reliability -- a substantial risk? I'm not in the mood to send demands letters to mere to lemon another car.

     


    Re: SUN'S LAST RUN TO WILSON, WY - 991 C2S CAB LIFE, END OF AN ERA (Part II)

    Had the M8 as a dd for a month last summer, it’s an absolute monster when you floor it. On the verge of intimidating but lots of fun. Would probably still go for the 850, bit more civilised/suited for our European roads and still packing a serious punch.
