Speed listing...cars

Like Speed Dating, don't ask too many questions, don't think too much, you can always revise your thoughts based on intuition later, when you've had time to digest it. Don't explain, don't justify (again, can do that later) just list. What are your 10 all...

Hi PPlater (lol! P Plater, or PP later? I always wondered, glad to have that cleared up!) The Pantera and Maseratic 3500GT (esp the Shah of Iran one off) are on my list of favorites. Surprised the MB 300SL gull wing isn't on more lists
Wholeheartedly agree, Luc.

Pre 2006 S65?
By: patrick_y : March 8th, 2009-13:48
Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but I thought the S65 AMG was only made during 2006 and on? The W220 series was produced between 2000 through 2006 Model years. The W221 series was produced between 2007 and on W220 Series W221 Series...
