*Official* Post Your Pictures Thread

[spirit]

Love the first photo of the cat. "I see what you did there..."

Yeah George is like that... even in his old age!

Love the photos you've been posting recently by the way - especially the car ones. I'm not the greatest fan of the Mercedes SLS, I preferred its predecessor, the McLaren SLR, but I gotta say I like the photo you got of the SLS. Well done.

I prefer the SLR as well but I love the SLS too. The noise the SLR made, ooooh! Gets me excited all the time!

 

[spirit]

I think the SLR was also a better looking car, and yeah that thing was loud! It was pretty much the perfect combination of speed, comfort, practicality (to some degree) and lightness. It was pretty much the perfect supercar.

Here is one of the photos I took in Norwich today.

Some swans on the River Yare.

My boss has an SL55 Thing's a beast! My co-workers friend calls it the "Panty Dropper".

 

[Justin]

Nice! I'm glad he has the 55, anything less and the SL looked like a chick car.

Got it for cheap from an auction! Written off needing a motor but all it needed was a new starter!

Lucky guy!

How much did he pay for it??

 

[voyagerfan99]

How much did he pay for it??

I think it only has about 40K miles and he paid $24K at auction. Original sticker was in the glove box, and it was $105K or so. Those wheels are $5K each

 

[Justin]

That's a steal! How much was the new starter though?

 

[voyagerfan99]

It wasn't that much. By the time they figured it out he only put in another 3 or 4 grand to working on it I think.

 

[tremmor]

Who ever the mechanic was that said needed a motor and was a starter needs to be fired.

I would have to think it was written up wrong at the auction.

 

[wolfeking]

not to nitpick, but a starter is a motor. it starts the engine. but I think that is beyond the point here.

 

[tremmor]

Sounds like i misunderstood. I was thinking engine and problem was a starter (motor). Misunderstood. Think your right.

I did it before and sure i will do again.

I use engine and motor interchangeably (even though I know I shouldn't).

The CLS series is just.....there are no words to describe that level of luxury.

The model standing by the Audi R8 looks really bored! lol.

Great photos - but everybody knows that Mercs are better than Audis!

 

[Perkomate]

audi has hotter models
still, i wouldn't buy either of them. I'd buy this...

not my photography, of course
