Didn't you like the Corrado VR6 then? I loved my old Storm. Not as much as I like Porsches though. Allegros are fine, of course, providing they're Vanden Plas.

Re your watch - send it back. You're obviously not smitten with it, and there are plenty more fish in the sea.

You love the watch, but you're not 100% with it? :shock:

I can understand someone buying a watch off the internet and not liking the look of it in the flesh, but the COSC certification(and the cost involved) was a given before you ordered it, so why question it now?

The Merc is a soft top as well - SL500! It sits in the garage polished and waxed to within an inch of its life.

The Mazda really is a marvel behaving exactly as you say. Had an MG"B" roadster before it and that refused to start even though it was in the garage!

I did but like all VR6 units they used oil and it was unnerving when they cost like £14k , Storm nice car.. I was close to one once but went for RS Cosworth ESCORT yah!! boy I wish I still had that car :lol:

Anyway Cosc

I had a chat with a man that knows and I may be warming to the idea of having such a mast time peice in my collection..


So I could be back to .. should I send it back and go for a standard Brooklands as the time keeping on that watch is going to be good anyway..

her quote was

" Quite a nipply little thing it was " :lol:

I have been keeping an eye out for a few years for a 230sl or 250sl not worried about 280sl's

Ok next pic

Bet you can't guess what this is.. I would almost put my Cosc as a prize if you did.. :lol: ( NOT )
Hmmm - tricky. Can't even tell if it's an impact-bumper model, but the wheels suggest earlier anyway. Don't know, but I'll go for a 911e. Do I win the Cosc?
