[motec 6.9]

Hi guys the new S Class is to come in a convertible. http://www.carpoint.com.au/news/lar...Dc4NiZRcGI9MSZzaWQ9MTQ2NTRDNDM5MzFCJk5uZT0xNQ..

Hmmm - an MGA would be a far more engaging drive ....
And for the cost of a new ragtop on the Benz you could rebuild the motor on the MGA .....

I was thinking whole car.

 

[BenzBoy]

Probably. I wouldn't mind an MGA but 2 problems:
1. Can't afford one.
2. Can't fit in one.
Solution = no MGA.
I tried to squeeze into an MGT (or was it an F?) and there was no where to put my legs. Hand pedals?

The MGB is a little better but not by much. And I assure you I don't fit in any way conducive to safe motoring.

All MGs are rubbish

However...

This S-Class convertible is not even produced as a clay model.
This is a computer generated image and I would bet that the real one would simpy be stunning!

You would hope so as there neighbours don't seem to be able to make nice looking cars anymore 6 series anyone.

I'm sure you could manage to drive one Michel; might have to let you have some practice though without power steering....

Are you suggesting he takes up hair dressing.

Oh my - you've gone and done it now.
Get the smelling salts please - Michel is not known as the Prince of All Arabia for nothing...

The first bus I learned to drive was a J1 Bedford no power steering 4 speed crash box and air hydraulic brakes which were good for 2 stops once on Tuesday once on Thursday nothing in between . Bus company owner insisted I master this old bus before I would be let lose in newer buses. Hated it at the time but came to think it taught me how to drive correctly.
