Well, I think I "apologized" you for selling the 997TT!! :D

Another thing... I'm thinking in getting married soon, and you're frightening me!! :)

My gf likes cars, at least for now! :D

[Erez]

^ just wait for the day after :P :lol:

[ViperASR]

You bought an RS? Niiiiiiiceee, I like! :D

Btw, has the snow melted over there yet, so you can finally take those rides out?

Obviously can't wait for some pics and possibly a review (?). :)

insane, Yep.... the snow is 98-99% gone, :clap: that is until this coming weekend! We may get a slight sprinkle again but it looks pretty good from now on.

I even had the SLR out last night and I was foaming at the mouth with excitement! :drool: BTW.... my girlfriend's bother met us up at the restaurant we go to and he started talking about the empty garage space at the house I own next door to the main house. He started agitating me :prr: about how I should be getting something new to fill the void up there. Well, while he was talking and making suggestions, I had this 'shit eating' grin on my face and the next thing you know, he says...... "I knew it, I just knew it! You got something didn't you!"

My girlfriend starts giving me :ninja: dagger looks.... and then I'm reminded for sure why I will never get married again! :fuck:

Anyhow, not being a liar, I toid my GFs brother what I bought..... probably coulda fried eggs on my GF's head! :roflmao:

Well.... we get home and I show her pics of the Orange RS! Surprisingly, she likes the car and the Orange color the best of all 4 color choices. She even said it looked real sharp!

And the saga continues..... the Mags..... over and out! :scatter:

Remind me never to get married :roll: :wink:

Again, a huge congrats on the purchase, wish I could say it was comming to my garage :fuck: but I'm sure you will treat it well. Have fun and stay safe

[magwheel]

Thanks guy! Hey, just got done talking to the truck driver. He says there is a excellent chance he will deliver the RS tomorrow night!!! :multi: :drool: :clap: Can't believe how smooth everything has gone so far. Hope they loaded the right car!:faint: Just kiddin.... They did..... he told me he has this huge 'Florida Orange' :roflmao: on the truck..... must be mine!

Awesome news! Can't wait to see the pics of the car.

I do have an odd question though. Most cars go through a "break-in" period, where they can't be run @ full throttle or revved beyond a certain point for a few thousand miles. Now because you don't own your cars very long or drive them everyday, do you advise by these break-in periods or are you just balls to the wall from day 1? Also, do the dealers advise you of these break-in periods?

Just curious, never owned a car that was worth that much :crazyeyes: , and we tend to keep our cars for a VERY long time.

Cant wait to see pics of the car :love: :faint: :faint:

[magwheel]

The following is a little dramatic event I went through before I was reassured by the dealership owner that indeed, the Orange RS was mine and not sold out from underneath me! It happened over last weekend and I just wanted to relay what I went through last Sunday and Monday! All is well now and I may get the car tomorrow! :mrgreen:

This is a little story I have regarding my purchase of the Orange GT3RS from Herb Chambers Porsche in Boston, Massachusetts. I purchased the car on Saturday, March 10th, and the following tidbit is what followed the next 2 days and had me a nervous basket case all day Sunday and Monday morning!!! :shocked!:

I had a PM from one of 6Speedonline's members (not to be named) early Sunday morning giving me some very disturbing news! He informed me that he had heard from a very reliable source that the Herb Chambers Porsche dealership had sold the GT3RS out from underneath me :puke: to someone else (also not to be named) for more money than the deal I had made with the owner's son, George Chambers, on Saturday...... essentially stabbing me in the back! To say I was POd, mad, freaked out, foaming at the mouth or slightly upset at this news is an understatement!!!

I told the person who sent me the PM, that I had finalized a deal and that as far as I was concerned, it was a binding oral contract with a man who gave me his word that the deal was absolutely unbreakable. I even asked him if we shook hands :good: over the phone to seal this transaction to which he replied... "We have a deal..... the car is 100% yours!"

What had me perplexed after receiving the PM was that George, Herb's son, had talked to me as a gentleman and I was convinced he was a man of his word! He spent 15-20 minutes with me on Friday talking about the car and how he said it was not sold and I could still buy it for the right price and then I called him back on Saturday and we spent another 1/2 hour or more BSing and finally closed the deal. Is that the kind of person who would double cross me? I sure as hell hoped not!

Well, Monday morning, I called George at the dealership and asked if everything was OK with the purchase and he said yes, yes and more yes! He said I was easily approved for the loan and he was even able to find me a slightly lower interest rate :clap: than the one he had initially quoted me! George then transferred me over to the Finance Manager, who needed conformation of some personal info. Again, sure sounds like a decent and honorable man to me!

Now when the topic of the RS popped up on 6Speed, I read the post with great interest and even ran across a reply or two that said watch out for this person and/or the dealership. This kind of comment is something that is heard over and over again in the automotive industry! Even now, when someone starts BSing me, "I ask them if they used to be a Used Car Salesman!" Of course those couple of negative posts certainly threw up a red flag for me and I'm sure everyone else who might have had some interest in the Orange RS. I continued reading the posts and kept debating about whether or not I really wanted or needed the car.

I know from being in business myself, that unfortunately, sometimes rumors (not necessarily vindictive ones) :slap: can start and spread like wildfire. I'm assuming that the one that had made its way to me could have started with a person who honestly thought they were in the cat bird's seat as far as purchasing the RS.

I'm not pointing fingers at ANYBODY! I can only tell you the buying experience I had at the Herb Chambers' Porsche Dealership in Boston. I NEVER once had a uneasy feeling that I was dealing with anything but an honest, respectful, good faith and true to his word person named George Chambers! Maybe someone else did at one time BUT I didn't and that's all I kind report back to you.

I'm certainly glad the info I received turned out to be inaccurate because it would have freaked me out to lose the RS. :faint: I'm glad George and his father Herb, turned out to be stand-up gentlemen for me and now I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my Orange GT3RS. :drool: Sorry for being long winded but I wanted to dispel the possibility of my purchase going the way of Hiroshima and blowing up in my face!

To the person who PMd me, thank you very much for your concern. I appreciate your interest in trying to protect me from a deal gone bad and I'm thankful to you for being a friend online.

To my friends here at JABBASWORLD, :hello: hopefully I'll be getting my RS very soon and will certainly do a candid review for all of you after I get some decent miles on her. Thanks for all the kudos on the RS and for being there when I needed info or just to pass the time of day with each other. :lol: Magwheel

p.s. Thanks again to George, Herb and Aaron at the dealership for treating me perfect!

[twboy1999]

awsome little story you have maghweel

thanks again for sharing us with pics, review, interesting stories

enjoy the RS, it sure is one badass car. and one of my current favorite car on the road rite now

[novass]

That was a great little anecdote, especially cause it all ended up being just a rumor. I am glad you are the one getting the RS and so soon too! I can't wait to see pictures and to hear your impressions of it. :D

You say thanks to us for being here to pass the time with, but I say thank you to you for sharing your experiences with us!

[magwheel]

You all are very welcome! :clap: Mags

[Mattk]

Wow, that anecdote was nerve-wracking just to read! Glad things have worked out well and that you'll soon get a new car to drive around in.

[magwheel]

Great you almost have the car in your driveway - and good to hear the transaction went well, even despite the rumours :D :wink:

I like your way of buying cars. I guess you don't know what a 'waiting list' is, do you? :P you like that car? you make an offer. The dealer agrees. The car is yours. I've never undertood how some people can wait 2 years to get their brand new F430... when in the same time period, you've bought and sold like 15 cars already :lol: :good:

Hey Private Stationery, Yeah.... a waiting list would drive me nuts! :silly: Not only that, there's too much that can go wrong while on the list. They could stop making the car short of their production goal, the Dealer could come up with some bullshit reason to screw you :x out of you spot on the list and sneak someone with a bribe ahead of you. Plus being a 'spoiled brat', waiting would give me the 'heebee jeebies'!

One thing you may not know which I have made known before on this and other forums is that I'm adopted! I was adopted at a very early age and my Mother spoiled the heck out of me and my Father gave me the 'financial capabilities' to fulfill my wildest dreams! :D If it wasn't for Mom and Dad, I'd be driving a 1945 Volkswagen and probably pumping gas at a local gas station. :( Even though I know how lucky I am, I hope that I have NEVER abused my good fortune and spoke ignorantly of my position in life. Lady Luck and the Man up above have certainly taken good care of me!!! :wink:

Now on the lighter side, I just spoke to the truck driver again and he said he'll be here in about 3-4 hours! Whoa daddy! The Mags 'in heat'! :drool:

[nthfinity]

and what a nice day to get it (it is up here anyway) :)

I'm glad everything has worked out for the absolute best over with that 'foriegn' Porsche dealer, things can get quickly blown out of proportion on the internet... and when it is for something that you have a huge and real invested stake in, I can imagine the fustration.

[TopGearNL]

What a write up Micheal! :shock:

Anyway you got me scared in the beginning LOL, but nice to hear all is well in the end!

About the adoption thing, you are who you are Micheal, noone can change that on the of the day!

That's one weird color-combo... although black is one of my favorite car colors that one just isn't working for me with the orange details...

Mags orange-black looks great. I think I would have a huge problem choosing between that orange-black and a racy-white one. I'm just so glad I don't have the money to get me into this dilemma... :lol:

[twboy1999]

Magwheel

the big question is.. what cool lisence plate you going to come up with this time? LOL

Damn Michael cant wait to see the GT3!!! Hope you have fun and I'm having a feeling this plate is gonna be the best for some reason...:P

Guys are adding some pressure to Mag in the plate choosing. Only the best so far is acceptable LOL

[inso]

I guess it is one of those dealer cars that can´t be sold before there is a car to replace it or something like that. Since dealer got the car before the orders for the car.

The picture is not mine, but since it is a gt3rs with FI plates, it is interesting, since in all of finland there is barely all those cars that Mags have in his garages :)

Our plates are also dull compared. Orange and green are great colors for that car. If I could afford, I would try to get my RS with some strange combo, like white on black, if anyhow possible. Nothing nicer than really special car made even rarer at the factory.

One of a kind, like our Mags himself. Reading this thread is such a joy for me.

(yeah I wish, but still check the plates)

Where did you get the picture? That is the car that was in the dealers here. Strange thing is that the owner of the vehicle is the dealer still, eventhough the car is not there anymore.

Black on orange is way better than orange on black.

:( :roll: :cry: :crazyeyes: :shocked!: Hey MrMojo...... I thought we were good buddies? Now you've made me feel so bad, I gotta go trade in the Orange RS for a Black one just so you'll like my car! :hmm: :turn-l: :roflmao: Mags

It's probably going to be about two weeks before I can get the title and apply for that plate. Sorry! :sleeping: Mags

Personally I'm more eager about seeing the review and pics than the plate. Sure a nice plate is a fine bonus but hey... GT3 RS is still one heck of a car plate or no plate :lol:

Damn..... I'm sorry guys! I had her out a few times already (including today) and just haven't thought of taking pics cause I'm having too much fun. The GF and I took the F430 out last night when we went out to eat. She is just blast to drive and listen too. :2gunfire:

Monday, I took the SLR to the office. Whoa Daddy! I'm really getting use to her and some of her pros and cons. One con.... Mercedes builds a car that can go a zillion miles an hour and then they go ahead and tuck the power port underneath the armrest so that when you plug in you V1 or Escort, the 'dang' armrest won't close because the the plug sticks up too high. Hey Mercedes..... "What the Hey?" :bad-words:

The steering on the SLR is a little hard at slow speeds which feels abnormal. BUT the good news is she really wants to get it on. In fact I can almost hear her saying to me.... "Let's get ready to rumble!" :slap: And that she does! Her exhaust note coming from underneath the front fenders into your ears is a song that you definitely want to hear! More on her later.... promise!

Now for what you been waiting for. A quickie take on the GT3RS. Woofff!!!
:shocked!: I took her to the office today, 30 mile round trip. She is an absolute riot to drive. The ride is as firm as a anything I've been in. I think it's a toss-up between her and the Carrera GT as to which rides firmer! In fact, looking out the rear view mirror reminds me of when I was riding my Harleys a couple of years ago! The mirror shakes so much that anything your looking out seems to have swallowed 'Mexican jumping beans!' :multi:

And then there's the gearshift pattern..... tight as a '18 year old virgin'! :puppydogeyes: Niiice! I was lucky enough to have gotten full leather interior with 'Orange' stiching. Really dresses up the interior.

Please give me a few more days to get some pics to you. I'll try and take some pics tomorrow (Sunny and 67 degrees) and get them to you either Saturday or Sunday.

Again..... Sorry for the delay but it been so long since I've driven any of my cars that I become a 'Zombie' once I get in one of them and just forget about what's going on in the world!

As the Carrera GT plate says..... "ILL B BAC". Mags

p.s. Oh yeah..... we're taking the SLR to dinner tonight!!! :prr:

[MIHALS]

wow, great little story you have for us, thanx!!! :D

Enjoy your dinner and drive home safely Mike :wink: :good:

Damn..... I'm sorry guys! I had her out a few times already (including today) and just haven't thought of taking pics cause I'm having too much fun. The GF and I took the F430 out last night when we went out to eat. She is just blast to drive and listen too. :2gunfire:

Monday, I took the SLR to the office. Whoa Daddy! I'm really getting use to her and some of her pros and cons. One con.... Mercedes builds a car that can go a zillion miles an hour and then they go ahead and tuck the power port underneath the armrest so that when you plug in you V1 or Escort, the 'dang' armrest won't close because the the plug sticks up too high. Hey Mercedes..... "What the Hey?" :bad-words:

The steering on the SLR is a little hard at slow speeds which feels abnormal. BUT the good news is she really wants to get it on. In fact I can almost hear her saying to me.... "Let's get ready to rumble!" :slap: And that she does! Her exhaust note coming from underneath the front fenders into your ears is a song that you definitely want to hear! More on her later.... promise!

Now for what you been waiting for. A quickie take on the GT3RS. Woofff!!!
:shocked!: I took her to the office today, 30 mile round trip. She is an absolute riot to drive. The ride is as firm as a anything I've been in. I think it's a toss-up between her and the Carrera GT as to which rides firmer! In fact, looking out the rear view mirror reminds me of when I was riding my Harleys a couple of years ago! The mirror shakes so much that anything your looking out seems to have swallowed 'Mexican jumping beans!' :multi:

And then there's the gearshift pattern..... tight as a '18 year old virgin'! :puppydogeyes: Niiice! I was lucky enough to have gotten full leather interior with 'Orange' stiching. Really dresses up the interior.

Please give me a few more days to get some pics to you. I'll try and take some pics tomorrow (Sunny and 67 degrees) and get them to you either Saturday or Sunday.

Again..... Sorry for the delay but it been so long since I've driven any of my cars that I become a 'Zombie' once I get in one of them and just forget about what's going on in the world!

As the Carrera GT plate says..... "ILL B BAC". Mags

p.s. Oh yeah..... we're taking the SLR to dinner tonight!!! :prr:



great little revew

[TopGearNL]

Thanks for the update Mags!

The F430 is a nice car for every occasion but the SLR is for special ones!

I can't even imagine how it would sound when you opened the taps just a little bit when your just cruising. :shock:

Anyway about the GT3RS, that car really means serious business. Its so rough you wouldn't be able to use it everyday I guess.. That car is THE BUSINESS!

Can't wait for the pics and the plate, no rush Micheal don't worry! Im sure its worth the wait!

[inso]

Great story as always from Mags, thanks :)

My appetite for those pics just grew a notch..

[novass]

Glad to hear you are okay :D . Nice little review too.

[Pokiou]

May i just say... i hate you.. oh god do i hate you for buying one of my dream cars :( ....

:(

No joking... good work man, that is one dream collection.. i got a garage like my self... on Test Drive Unlimited.!

:lol: nice write up Micheal :lol:
glad your liking your RS 8)
and nice to hear how you maneuver between all of them on a daily basis :wink:
i'll be visiting some family soon in Colorado, how long is the drive on highway 70 to Ohio.. :lol:

[magwheel]

:lol: nice write up Micheal :lol:

Hey Erez, Thanks..... I'm having a great time in the RS. :drool: It sits so low you kinda feel like you're on a 'motorized' skateboard going like a 'bat out of hell'! :scrambleup:

I checked the mileage from Denver, Colorado to Youngstown, Ohio and it's approximately 1400 miles and about 21 hours of driving time. Hope that helps. Michael :good:

[Erez]

8) yeah i can only imagine the feel of flying an RS on the highway next to H2s F-350s and such... :lol:
:D so its safe to say your happy with it. :mrgreen:

well @140 average i could do it in 10 hours.. :lol: but i doubt i could rent a car for that.. :wink:
(i'd be lucky if they would rent me anything in my age i guess.. :? )
well since the trip isn't all planned out already and we might go to Toronto first (family friends..)..
who knows i might stop by :mrgreen: :wink: (if its ok that is :mrgreen: )

anywho.. 0X for living the dream 8)

[magwheel]

Well I guess it's best to give you some pics of the GT3RS before you all get too belligerent! So here's some pics I took the day after I got her. We had 4-5 inches of snow that day! The pics are in the garage of the house I own next door to my main house. I had to buy this house and its 7 acres to rest assure the land going down the main drive (2500 ft. long), stayed pristine with its woods and little ponds. It's like coming home to a nature park everyday with all the animals and woods all over the place.

I was going to take some pics yesterday but I had the Carrera GT out and got all consumed enjoying driving it around everywhere. Heck..... I even drove it to my office!

I'll try and get some more pics of the GT3RS in a couple of days. Stay tuned to this channel! Magwheel

[RC45]

Great car and great colour combo - looking good :)

[saadie]

beautiful! 8)

[TopGearNL]

Thanks for the pics Micheal! :D

Man oh man I envy you, you have a car that suits every occasion!

[acmarttin]

In that last picture it looks like the FJ is taunting the RS out in the snow

"naaa naaa na naaaaa naaaa"

:lol:

[novass]

Freakin sweet! I don't know what else to say :D

[gis]

Stunning car,really is the best colour combo,congrats on the car :D

[Audiophile]

Thanks for the pics Mag :good: Been checking this thread twice a day for the pics :D

She looks absolutely stunning. The Orange stiching is a great detail :P

But damn the FJ Cruiser is weird in the background :lol:

[ViperASR]

I LOVE THAT CAR :love:

Another awesome purchase there mags, no matter what amount of "stupid money" you paid for it :wink: I love the interior, really brings the car together. Must be nice to come home everyday to that collection :twisted:

[dutchmasterflex]

Nice FJ Cruiser, but the all back TRD version what you should have!

Oh yea, nice Porsche ;)

[silentm]

lucky bastard :P you got the coolest car and you have snow, 2 things i envy you for :D

i hope you can enjoy the car and drive it a lot :)

[magwheel]

OK..... got the title for the RS and ordered the plate. :mrgreen: It should be here next week. I'd tell you what it is :prr: but I think showing it on the car will be a lot better. Plus I have some props I have to get to make it look even more outrageous! :shocked!: Magwheel

[MC12]

Your latest addition is very cool indeed. I love the 997 GT3 RS especially in the orange with black writing. Hope you have a lot of fun with this car :wink: . Can you tell us how it is to drive it everyday though, isn't it hard to live with everyday :?: :lol:

[magwheel]

I'm really loving :drool: the firm ride of the RS and the other hard core differences between it and the 997 Turbo I had four months ago. The Turbo might have been faster but the RS is just so much more outrageous looking :crazyeyes: that the difference in E.T. performance just doesn't matter. Sometimes just looking good is more than half the battle. Just ask Pamela Anderson!

Now if you compare the RS with the 2003 GT2 I had, well that's a slightly different story. BUT.... if they do remake the GT2, it should definitely have a wild and crazy wing like the GT3RS and some other differences from the GT3 than make it stand out as the flagship 911 Porsche.

I took some pics with my camera phone of the RS being delivered on March 15th. They're only 1.3 megapix so the resolution may not be the greatest. I thought you'd enjoy the pics of the size of the truck that delivered the RS and how meticulous, Bob, the driver was at unloading her. Bob wore overalls with no metal buttons or other exposed parts. Plus he had on special shoes with non slip soles. Really great care by him and his company! :good: He even had the RS covered (inside the trailer) with plastic so that no dust would settle on her! He told me the trailer was 70 or 80 ft. long and the tractor was 30 or 40 ft. long!!!

I had Bob deliver the RS to a huge parking lot of a restaurant/night club I had owned. :silly: Wasn't one of my more brilliant ideas! We are now leasing the building and a large portion of the parking lot is not being used. Bob had to turn in once and then jackknife the trailer again just to get his rig in the parking lot. That truck and trailer were humongous! I hope you enjoy the pics.

Oh yeah... got the title and applied for the license plate. She should be here next week and I'll post some pics of the RSs rear end with it's new plate A.S.A.P. I need some props to help set the scene and make it stand out a little. :mrgreen: Mags

[Firdosh7747]

congrats mate

[magwheel]

Well, I finally got the new license plate :onfire: for the GT3RS but the Sun won't cooperate for some nice pics of the car and the new plate. So in the meantime to keep the 'ball rolling' as they say, :roflmao: I thought I'd post some 'interesting' pics of my girlfriend's 'old' 05 Range Rover. She just got her new 07 RR a few month's ago.

Anyhow, I woke up one morning in August of 05 and guess what I saw? :?: It was a Blue Heron that keeps visiting our property. He was struting around the front of the house on our driveway. The next thing I know, he jumps up on top of her RR:niet: and starts walking around the hood (bonnet for you British gentlemen) and then decides to check out the windshield (windscreen)! :faint:

What a beautiful bird! :clap: He stayed a while until he saw my face which apparently scared the hell out of him :shocked!: and then he flew away. He has been hanging around our area for sometime but I haven't seen him in a couple of months. I hope he's OK. He likes to hang out in the backyard where there's a small creek and then just stands there like a statue. When a fish or other small animal (ex. chipmunk) come along, he nails it with his beak and swallows it whole! :2gunfire: Yuk! BTW..... we have a Blue Heron preserve on our next door neighbor's property (155 acres) where he says 150-200 Blue Herons hang out and make their home and nest :sleeping: during the fair weather months.

Enjoy the pics and as soon as the Sun decides to make it's permanent Spring debut, I'll take some various pics of the RS and it's new personal identity plate! Mags :smilecolors:

:D very nice of you to feel up the gap in the meanwhile.. ;)

hang around JW more ;) theres much to see here :arrow: :wink: , :wink:

[Dubai]

Impressive :)

[twboy1999]

holy shit
the truck that deliver ur gt3 rs looks freaking serious

looking foward to hear your review of the gt3 rs in the future :)

[TopGearNL]

Nice updates Mags! Damn that rig delivering your car is huge! :shock:

Anyway great to see pics of the car! Thanks for that! Can't wait for the plate! :D

And very cool to see that nice bird on the RR! Well done capturing it!

[mevistox5]

Thanks for the short review for the GT3RS. I was expecting it to be firm and now I'm just wondering about the Finnish black GT3RS in the pics posted earlier. After the winter roads in here are in quite poor condition and after your description about the rear-view mirror shaking, I'm sure the Finnish owner doesn't feel very comfortable driving his/her car on the roads.

Why not? Took the Exige for a 4 week holiday to Finland last year. No complaints about road quality......

Nico

[silentm]

hahah nice plates on the RR :D

[magwheel]

hahah nice plates on the RR :D

Hi silentm, Yeah, I thought it was too but she decided to change it. She now has (OM CHICK) as her plates on the Range Rover. I can just imagine what you guys are thinking..... :silly: WTF !

In the last couple of years she's freaked out and become a health nut :drinking: and switched to being a 'Vegetarian' and started some Weight Training and Yoga and Pilates! Well she got me involved first in Weight Training (gooood!) and then Pilates (goood too) but I haven't tried Yoga yet. :niet:

Anyway, because she likes Yoga so much, she wanted a license plate that had some association with Yoga. So she chose that (OM CHICK). That's the sound they make when their eyes are closed, their hands are together and their heads are looking up into the sky....:prr: (maybe even Outer Space)! Mags :roflmao:

[TopGearNL]

^^ LOL! :mrgreen:

Get a Lotus Exige Mags as an excuse for not taking on normal Yoga, getting into and out of that car can be seen as Yoga too :wink:

[magwheel]

^^ LOL! :mrgreen:

Ahhhhh...... the Carrera GT and the SLR isn't exactly 'a walk in the park' either TopGearNL. I think that's one reason why I should start Yoga!!! Mags

[TopGearNL]

^^Haha ok, you would know :mrgreen:

:lol: Only you would know. I wish I had that problem :wink:
I'm goin crazy :silly: waiting for the pics of the GT3RS tag pics! I need to learn more patience, I know :oops: :lol:

[magwheel]

FINALLY!!!...... The Sun :flasingsmile: came out yesterday and I was able to get some pretty neat shots of the GT3RS and its new license plate. :lol: Sorry for the long delay but Mother Nature had a mind of her own and I wasn't about to argue with her!

In all the excitement of being able to get some pics of the RS, I completely forgot to get the 'accenting props' I told you I wanted to get. I'll dig them up later this week and post a pic of the RS with the 'props' which I think you'll get a real kick out of! Some of you after seeing the plate might even have a decent guess as to what the props are but I won't reveal the secret until I post the pic. :prr:

I took the liberty of trying to shoot some 'artistic' shots :rainbow1: of the RS and only you will tell me if I succeeded or not. Feel free to tell me 'yes or no'. I'm a big boy and can take the truth!

The shots taken on the driveway incline seemed like a good idea.... especially the ones of the 'ass end' going up the hill :drool: and the ones through the trees. My drive is 2500 feet long and narrow (only 10ft. wide) so it's hard to arrange some various picture positions.

What I really have to do in the next couple of weeks is get a 'line-up' picture 'ala Dragnet' style :2gunfire: of all the cars and a trio picture of the 3 Porsches and a trio picture of the 3 Mercedes. I have a few neat ideas to make them different too. Thanks for hanging in there with me and sorry for being a little late in posting them. Take care, Mags

p.s. As far as the idea of the license plate, I had seen a post on another web forum (6speedonline.com) and the person (DJ) posted the 'Topic'...... "Can't get enough of Orange Crush". This is about the time I started getting 'hot and heavy' for the GT3RS! I'm not sure whether or not his post stayed with me 'subliminal' and when it came time for me to think of a plate, I may have unconsciously recalled his post and that's possibly where I got the plate idea or whether I thought of it on my own..... but if it is from his post, I certainly want to give him credit :clap: for that idea or at the least thank him for turning me on to the GT3RS.

p.s.s. Do you realize how close me and YOU are to 100,000 views :shocked!: since March of 2006? Only a couple hundred more posts and we've done it!!! I sincerely want to thank everyone for your kind replies and great communications over the last year or so. It's been fantastic talking with a lot of you and discussing cars in general. I only hope we can keep this post going and that I can keep supplying topics of interest for you without going 'broke' in the process!!! :mrgreen: :crazyeyes: :scrambleup: :roflmao: :wall: Mags.... over and out!

100K views.. not replays.. that would be insane :mrgreen: as we only have about 40K members, 39,000 of which (at least) aren't active, or at least aren't posting, just leeching.. :lol:

The pics more then makes up for the loooong wait! :mrgreen:
awesome stuff as usual 8)

and I too hope the finance will more then allow you to keep this awesome topic alive for year to come :mrgreen:

8) :good:

[TopGearNL]

Yeah 100k views, 100k posts must be crazy!

Anyway thanks for the pics Mags, I love them! This is one of my favorite cars and your pics make that realize me once again! Nice engine and wing pic!

The number plate is great! Very original :good:!

You have one bigass driveway!!

Can't wait to see the pics of the GT3RS with the props and the pics of all your cars! :D

Thanks again!

Rory

Whoops..... :oops: sorry about that! I corrected my error! I think I'm delirious from taking and downsizing all the pics and then posting the pics through 'Imageshack' to get them on JabbasWorld for you! At my age, :bday: I think I need an afternoon nap :sleeping: after that laborious job! :faint: Nyuk..... nyuk! :roflmao: Mags

[TopGearNL]

^^ LOL, nighty night Mags :mrgreen:

:lol: you can always skip the downsizing part ;)
the bigger the better right :wink:
and I'm sure we'll make it to 100K post as well :mrgreen:

[bmagni]

nice car once again mags !
glad to see you keep recycling some cars and keeping some others... and that you share with us all

[novass]

I want that car!!! :D

Great pics, I really like how the orange pops out at you against the nature background. Nice plate too, though its making me thirsty for orange soda. :D

[atomic80]

Can't get any more creative than that, Mags. Great touch going with that plate! Kinda has the same kind of panache as "Fuzzy Navel" but its own special touch all its own.

Funny thing about your wife's plate on her Rover is that I was in yoga class earlier tonight and the instructor was talking about how it's pronounced/spelled either "OM" or "AUM." Personally I think "OM" looks better. :D

Keep those pictures coming, Mags...won't be long before we reach 1000 replies!

[cooperluke]

What's that sticker on the dash: "Warning - Thois Vehicle is eqquiped with advanced airbags" ???


Is that supposed to be there???

[racingfreak]

Is that a radar jammer that I see in your window Magwheel..? Very naughty... (HAHAHA)

Mags, you've done it again! Love the car and the license plate. The pics are nice, certenly better then I could do, but I think TT still has everyone beat for pictures :wink: . Again, congrats on the car :good: and hope your enjoying it! 8)

[magwheel]

Thanks for the pics Mags, With the sun out you must be tempted to take the RS out every day. Any chance of it seeing some track action? :)

Hi insane, I've been taking it a lot to work lately because it's a 'blast' :onfire: to drive it on the freeway. As far as tracktime, I don't think that will happen for a few reasons, 1) I'm a good driver but not a great driver..... I'd be afraid that I would lose it in a corner and do some damage to the car and me, :shock: 2) At 59, my reflexes aren't what they use to be so that would be a negative against me and 3) To be honest, my balls aren't big enough to do some heavy duty track time. :bah: I've never been in to 'high speed' driving anywhere.

The fastest I've ever gone in a car was around 135-140 in a 1966 (427) Corvette and I wasn't driving. I was scared 's_ _ _less'! :faint: The fastest I've ever driven a car myself was around 125-130. Just isn't in my blood! Maybe I want to live a long time and that's how I justify being 'chickensh _ t' Hope I haven't disappointed some of you hard-core track enthusiasts! :prr: Mags

You.....did name it after the famous defense right?? :mrgreen:

Uhhhhh atomic80, She's not my wife...... she's my girlfriend of 6 1/2 years. I did my duty to 'God and my Country' once. Had four wonderful kids and then wound up getting a divorce :slap: after being with her for 30 years. It was mostly my fault cause I was 'being a :silly: Bad Boy'! I never plan on getting married again!!! Once is enough! :wanker: Mags

Ooops...me bad. Sorry.. your GF! Not wife! I need new reading glasses!

What's that sticker on the dash: "Warning - Thois Vehicle is eqquiped with advanced airbags" ???

Is that supposed to be there???

Yeah cooperluke, that's how it came from the Porsche Dealer. I'm weird. :scrambleup: I like to keep interior stickers or tags intact on all my cars. Then every time I get in one, it makes me feel like it's a new car again! :drool: Mags

[magwheel]

Is that a radar jammer that I see in your window Magwheel..? Very naughty... (HAHAHA)

Nah racingfreak, It's a Valentine One radar detector. :clap: It's the best I feel although I am trying out Cincinnati Escort's new 9500 detector with GPS. It's mounted in my 07 SL550. Pretty cool when it talks to you. :argue: Still going through a trial period and I really haven't given it a good evaluation yet.

Radar Jammer..... :snipersmile: I wouldn't do that! They're illegal aren't they? :roll: I wouldn't even know where to get one. Do you? Got their number? :twisted: Heh.... heh..... heh! Mags

[atomic80]

That does help make it easier to sell your cars too. It doesn't surprise me that you prefer to keep things as intact as possible because you do change cars pretty often! :roll:

Not a bad habit to have! :D

Depends where you live. I am pretty sure that they aren't illegal in Florida, dunno about Ohio. Just google radar jammer and you should be able to find some :twisted:

[pzgren]

Hope I haven't disappointed some of you hard-core track enthusiasts!

not me. i'm going to a track a few times a year. but usually it's a organized course to improve driving skills. it would be very funny to go racing and hunting seconds but then it's a very expensive hobby. i spoke with a few drivers which are doing the whole season from the Pirelli Porsche Cup Suisse... it's insane how much money some people spend just for tires.... i guess it will take a few more years until i'll join them for a season... maybee :lol:
and everybody who's honest has to say that it could happen very fast on a track and it's over... so i really understand everybody who doesn't drive on a track with his car.

and you're pics are great. the orange one is my favorite color combo for the RS.
i'm still waiting for my first ride on the passenger seat in a GT3RS... looking forward to read more driving experiences from you

cheers

It's not possible to get a radar jammer at this time. Not ones that actually works anyways. :D

BTW, did you ever get that "T" on your Carrera GT fixed? :oops:

I must agree, no offence, but if I was 59 I would also rather look for someone who takes good care of me...but at my current age (22) I still enjoy the beautiful "fruits" that my success provide me...my list is not nearly as long as yours, but definately working on it!!!

[racingfreak]

^You have a nice collection of cars. Why don't you post pics of them?


At the moment work is keeping me busy...I try to reply to the forums as often as I'm able to but I'm running around constantly! You can take a look in the "what I saw today" for some pics of my car on the track that a friend of mine takes...
Will try to start a topic on my cars in due time, although the porsche and cls500 is the only one worth a mention...

Very true Mags! It is nice though :wink:

[magwheel]

To help keep this engine going, :multi: I have a little story to relate to you. I stopped at the local Mercedes to check on replacing a license plate light bulb that had burned out. What's really neat is there's a warning light on the dash that told me my right license plate bulb had burned out. Great in depth warning system on my S550 but what the heck is a light bulb burning out after 1000-1500 miles? :bad-words: Must have happened the time I took it off-road in the quarries! :roflmao: Yeah... right!

But truth be told, I also stopped in there to check on the new CLK63 Black Edition :shocked!: that's coming out in July or somewhere close. So meanwhile I go ahead and ask about the license plate light bulb and they tell me to stop in one day and they'll replace it in 10 or 15 minutes. :clap: Trick!

Then I inquire back about the CLK63 BE and they aren't up to date on the car because it was just announced by MB I can understand that because we're kinda in a small town market area and sometimes it takes time for Big News to reach us in this region.
'
The Owner promises to check into the CLK63 BE for me and in the same breath he says there's something he thinks I should check out. HUH? They just received a Limited Edition SL550 in the 'White Pearl' paint with a 'designo' package. I'm not too familiar with the 'designo' packages, so I stupidly say "Sure, why not, show me the car!" BIG MISTAKE! :faint:

The 'White Pearl' paint work is absolutely illegal! It shines like a real white pearl in the sun! :drool: The interior is also fabulous. It has the 'designo Mystic White Edition' option which includes the following: designo Mystic White multistage paint, designo Porcelain Nappa leather upholstery, Natural Maple wood trim, Wood/leather steering wheel and shift knob Charcoal Alcantara roof liner and Black designo floor mats.

Plus to aggravate me even more, it has Distronic and Parktronic AND the Panorama Roof with Sunshade! 8) Great..... just great! My present SL550 is only 5 months old and they go ahead and put me in heat again by showing me this car.

I tell the owner, "OK.... I'll bite! What kinda deal can you make me?" He works on all kind of numbers and then comes back with a figure that's decent but not quite enticing enough. So I manage to beat him up for a few more dollars and...... we make the deal!

What's perplexing is that I was very happy with my Pewter SL550 and would have remained that way if they would have only left me alone. I hate car dealers!!! :prr:

Below are some pics of the new 'White Pearl' SL550. I think you'll see how much more the 'White Pearl' stands out from the Pewter. BTW.... I did go ahead last weekend and make a 'Virtual Handshake Deal' with an Ohio Mercedes dealer for his copy of the CLK63 BE. I hope that it's all Mercedes and the online car forums are making it out to be! :D Take care, Mags

[magwheel]

Hahaha. You really are irreparable car-a-holic. :D It's a nice purchase tho, looks loads better in white. Did you trade in the other SL?

Hey insane, Yep..... as I said in my post, they really gave me a heck of a trade in value..... but considering she was only 5 months old and only had 700 miles on her odometer, I was hoping they would go easy on me! Irreparable car-a-holic...... Why would you think something like that? :drinking: Mags :roflmao: :prr:

As for the CLK63 Black Edition............ GO FOR IT!! Can't wait!!

I definately second that!

1 vote for CLK Black Edition

[dutchmasterflex]

Damn.. and I though I was bad with impulse buys ;)

The worst part is when they say the word "deal" and "bargain." Some how you justify the price as long as those words are mentioned ;)

Congrats on the new car, you should really get a part time job at some of the dealers so you can get even better discounts ;P

[redbaron]

This white SL is a nice car to kill time waiting for the CLK63 Black edition :twisted:

[lor2435]

nice pick up michael! great stuff

what did you think of the browns draft this weekend?? i thought they did a heck of a job!!

[silentm]

wow the white SL has an incredible interior, i'd be scared to drive it because i'd probably makie it dirty :shock:

conngrats on all your cars, somehow i have the notion that you have too much money :D :P :lol:

[inso]

Love the SL, the last one was little too incognito, this one looks really nice.

Can´t wait the pics of the BE, you are such a tease :) Did the dealer talk about the price of BE? Well whatever, it is worth it, it is The Merc that says to M3 and RS4 to eat dust..

[magwheel]

Yeah...... by all accounts, everyone I asked, said they were great picks. :onfire: I think it was pretty 'trick' how they were able to make that trade for Brady Quinn! :clap: I sure hope he turns out to give all the expectations that they feel he's capable of giving them! And that Joe Thomas...., :shocked!: he looks like a dang 'Kubota' M Series tractor. I'll bet he could stop my FJ in its tracks! :mrgreen: Mags

Hi inso, My last SL550 wasn't too shabby. I actually freaked :scrambleup: out on it when I saw her on the showroom floor. In fact, I had gone there in December of 06 to see the Silver SLR they had since February of 06 only to find out they had dealer traded it to a San Diego Mercedes dealer who wanted that car 'specifically' for a customer who desperately :drool: wanted a Silver SLR with the Black 'Silver Arrow' interior.


That's when I saw the Pewter SL550 sitting there. I saw it in the morning and closed a deal on her in the afternoon of the same day! Think she turned me on? :roflmao: I think it was a 'classy' color.

Now you guys got me going on White so I'm re-evaluating :hmm: my 'Iridium Silver' selection on the upcoming purchase of the CLK63 BE! Waddya think..... Silver or White on the CLK63 BE? Mags

p.s. The dealer quoted me MSRP on the CLK63 BE. I believe that's a pretty good price since 'supposedly' the car is going to be hotter than a Firecracker!!!

p.s.s. Pic of the Pewter SL550.

definitelly White pearl CLK Mike!!! :love:

nice chose on the SL already, that colour is just fantastic :drool: :good:

[novass]

I would go for black on the CLK BE, it would look so evil! Either that or a dark metallic grey. I don't know what color options it comes in though.

[inso]

http://www.worldcarfans.com/photos.cfm/photoid/3070404.004/country/gcf/Mercedes-Benz/mercedes-clk-63-amg-black-series

I loved the silver BE, but after seeing this white one, no comparison.. What other colours there are available for BE? At german configurator there are 12colours for clk63amg, my favourites are calcite white, tenorit grey metallic and chrome black metallic.

If I bought an used E46 M3 from Germany, I would have to pay 15-20ke taxes for it, before getting the finnish license plates, don´t wanna even think how much for a CGT, GT3 RS is 212ke taxed but without any options, and without taxes 111.6ke, do the math, 100ke in taxes)

I personally think that if a car is named the "Black Edition" it should be... hmm let me think... BLACK! :lol:

But that said I totally understand how hard it is to keep clean. And after seeing that latest post from Inso with the white BLACK edition.. man.. that looks awesome. Really a race-look :drool:

I know these have been long overdue so I hope you will forgive me. :shocked!: These were taken in 2005 by (SUPERCARFREAK) Alex, really a great kid. He has his own great website, http://www.supercarfreak.net/index.php, which you should visit.

Anyhow, he stopped down in Early Spring of 2005 after asking me if he could come over from Cleveland with a friend and take some pics of my cars to put on his website.

He took 139 pics plus these two videos. :clap: Thanks to him and I hope you enjoy the vids. Turn your volume up! :2gunfire: Mags

Well it's been all quiet over here on the Western Front so I guess I can say this now. I'm kinda reluctant to post this because of the possible backlash I think I'm going to get. :shock:

First let me say, I think most of you know that I've always mentioned how lucky I was to have had a Father who worked his rear off to provide his family a safe and secure future. It's because of my Dad's fantastic success :clap: that I have been able to be afford and own all my cars. With that being said and me being an admitted older 'spoiled brat', I've been able to buy and evaluate several cars over the last couple of years.

As the months have gone buy in the last 2 1/2 years, I've come to realize that there's more to 'supercars' than just all out speed. I have absolutely loved all the cars I owned but some are just plain easier to drive and enjoy, to get in and out of and to take care of. Going extremely fast is not all there is!

Soooooo...... I guess it's time to spill the beans as they say. Last Tuesday, July 3rd, I sold my Carrera GT and the SLR. :shocked!: I then bought a 2006 F430 Spider (Red) and a 2007 F430 Coupe (all Black) :drool: from the same dealer who bought the CGT and SLR. How's that for 4th of July fireworks??? :bad-words:

My second son is going to buy the 2005 F430 from me, I think this coming week. He has been wanting it for some time now. My initial plan was to sell the 2005 F430 to him and then I was going to wait and buy an 2007 F430 Yellow Coupe this Winter for myself when prices would be at their lowest but this opportunity came up and I couldn't pass on it.

I was very reluctant to post this especially on this forum where so many of you have expressed your love of the Carrera GT and the SLR too. I figured that many of you out there would tear me a new a-hole for selling the CGT and the SLR. I really enjoyed both cars but they just can't compare to the F430 for everyday driving comfort, ease of use and resale value.

I sure a lot of you being around the age of my son or younger, he's 30, think I'm an idiot, :silly: but I was only getting each car, the CGT and SLR, out once every 2 or 3 weeks. That's insanely ridiculous! I sure having all the other cars didn't help too much either but both were a little bit of a hassle to drive. My son was extremely POd that I was selling the CGT!

The CGT and SLR were not fun getting in and out of, especially for us 'older' gentlemen. The rear visibilty is pretty impaired on both compared to the F430s. I'm sure no matter what I say will hit home with hardly any of you and I fully understand but you couldn't appreciate my feelings on the cars unless you were in my shoes.

Some day, when you guys hopefully reach my age, you'll possibly understand. But remember..... I still have the Orange GT3RS. :onfire: It's equally as easy and fun to drive and very comfortable like the F430. Sorry if I made any of you mad at me but 'sh_t happens'..... that's why they have that bumper sticker! :mrgreen: Mags

p.s. The same car dealer also bought and picked up the Cayenne Turbo S last Friday. For me it was just an in-between SUV. Fabulous car but I couldn't drive it at all in Winter with even a little snow on the ground because of the hi-performance Summer tires. So, I'll just have to cruise around in the Toyota FJ and Tundra when the 'white' stuff falls! :roll:

p.s.s. Remember now...... the CLK63 AMG Black Series is coming to my house in late August or early September! Be nice to this 'old man' or I won't post any review or pictures of it! :prr: Magwheel

[nthfinity]

while sure, I would've only rid myself of that SLR :P I long ago learned that it is silly to call an owner anything, as it is your money, your cars, your tastes, and your experiences.... not mine.

I see your love of the 430's really is quite extensive ;) Cool cars, no doubt!

[gis]

so you have 3 F430's right now,lol.....you know.....thats a bit greedy,LOL :P :wink:

[momodels]

I understand your choice of rather buying F430 because it´s more usable but also I would rather buy one 599 instead of 2-3 (whatever :lol: ) F430s...or you maybe ordered one already? :lol:

[gucom]

lol as has been said, you're the 1 experiencing these cars, you're the 1 who has to be happy with them (and at this kind of money, you should ofcourse be extremely satisfied with what you buy yourself)... but man, have you ever seen the rear end of that CGT??? :drool: it's too sexy!

[atomic80]

Mike, did you at least get the "T" fixed on your CGT before you sold her? :D

Now you're going to have to do a photoshoot with all three F430's before you sell one to your son. :D

[saadie]

Mike .. you dirty old man :lol: ... :mrgreen:

you should still consider something like a zonda or koenigsegg ... :P

cant wait for the CLK black series.. btw .. get it in back .. pleaseee .. i've seen enough silver black series already :lol: .. 8)

[acmarttin]

I sure a lot of you being around the age of my son or younger, he's 30, think I'm an idiot, :silly:

If you sold those cars so I could have your "old" F430, I'd forgive you quickly.

[twboy1999]

what about ferrari 599?


clk black series is going to be a sick car for sure

[magwheel]

I understand your choice of rather buying F430 because it´s more usable but also I would rather buy one 599 instead of 2-3 (whatever :lol: ) F430s...or you maybe ordered one already? :lol:

I just watched a Discovery Channel (?) special (for the 3rd time) on the Ferrari factory and they showed the complete building process of the 599. :drool: Unreal!!! I would like to get one hopefully next Summer or Fall. :D Mags

[Mattk]

Well, it's a perfectly understandable decision to sell the CGT and the SLR if you find them hard to get into! Cars are made to enjoy, and we all know that that is idiosyncratic and wholly subjective. I'm sure the new ones are just as fun, and now you own F430s from 3 consecutive years. :)

[magwheel]

lol as has been said, you're the 1 experiencing these cars, you're the 1 who has to be happy with them (and at this kind of money, you should ofcourse be extremely satisfied with what you buy yourself)... but man, have you ever seen the rear end of that CGT??? :drool: it's too sexy!

How the hell can I look for the rear end of the Carrera GT when I've been looking at the rear end on your avatar all night! :drool: Mags

[magwheel]

Mike, did you at least get the "T" fixed on your CGT before you sold her? :D

Now you're going to have to do a photoshoot with all three F430's before you sell one to your son. :D

Yes... I got it replaced this Spring when I took it to Cleveland for an oil change and lube. 8) Mags

[pzgren]

I sold my Carrera GT[/u]

so, in this case you need a new avatar mags :wink:

[frozzu]

Wow that was a big one! I do understand why you sold the SLR but the CGT! WHYY! :D. I know it's difficult to understand at this age those things but I do know that if they just sit in the garage and you don't enjoy getting in them then it's rather useless.

Well it's just so difficult to understand why people would want to get rid of CGT. I have LOVED the car ever since it was launched and I would give just about everything just to drive one, let alone owning one! It's a dream car for sure!

Why so many F430's :D, you must really love that car. Anyway congratulations on the new cars! Hope you have more fun in them than those SUPERCARS!

[magwheel]

I'll admit that I'm having a hard time understanding that decision, especially as you replaced the CGT and SLR with cars you already own. :D That said I do get the point though. If you find yourself not driving those cars and not really enjoying yourself that much when you do, meaning the CGT's harsh ride and difficult clutch, then I do sort of see why you did it. :D

For now at least you can go around to the people who are in Ferraries 2 year waiting list for the F430 and say you own 3. :lol:

Oh that would go over real big! :crazyeyes: I'd probably get stoned to death! :slap: Mags

[magwheel]

so you have 3 F430's right now,lol.....you know.....thats a bit greedy,LOL :P :wink:

I checked with my second oldest son a dozen times this week to make sure :-/ and he says he is absolutely sure he wants the F430. He'll probably pick it up Thursday or Friday.

We are going to sell his Corvette Z06 to the dealer in Cleveland that bought 6 of my other cars and then he'll hop in the F430. :wink:

Just had the Spider out when I went to my weight training session. Ay, caramba! :onfire: What a ride!

[magwheel]

I understand your choice of rather buying F430 because it´s more usable but also I would rather buy one 599 instead of 2-3 (whatever :lol: ) F430s...or you maybe ordered one already? :lol:

So would I! :drool: But right now they're getting at least $125K to $150K over MSRP!!! :shocked!: Talk about something being sick!

I am looking at trying to get one somehow but I'd like to be able to walk away with some clothes on my back after I'm done with the transaction! :scrambleup: Mags

[magwheel]

They are your cars, but I can't say that I wouldn't be little sad that CGT is gone. That's just life. :lol: I hope you'll live long and wealthy life so we can follow the next turns in your automotive wonderworld :D :wink:

Thank you mrmojo77, That was very kind of you! :clap: Magwheel

[Minacious]

You sir, are a fortunate man and the decisions you make are yours to make. I enjoy reading your escapades and love the child-like excitement you display with each new acquisition and release.

[cooperluke]

WEEEELLLLL, I can't say I'm very surprised to see you sold 2 of your best cars ever... but mad? No.. not mad! :D

You haven't crashed them, haven't you?? :roll:

It seems the F430 really got your heart! Two, and a third one coming?! :shock:

Well, about the CGT and SLR not being very "daily usable" and you end up driving them once a month... I have the solution for that :!: :!:

By these means... I volunteer myself to give a little ride on a weakly basis on your cars (even the Toyotas) so they don't get rusty!! :lol: :lol:

You know.. if you have a "boring" task like that to do, just give me a call!!

But, one thing I don't understand... why don't you keep any of your "old" cars?
I think the older one I knew was the CGT, probably one of your favorites.
You get tired of them? Don't have space?

I just don't get it!! :lol:

I can't even imagine what it is to drive a CGT, so I can't even imagine what you think!

[magwheel]

I thought you guys might like to see a pic of all three F430s together. So I lined them up the other day and here are the results. :lol: Magwheel

[Svensson]

Thanks for the pics, very nice :P

[inso]

Loved to hear again from you mags.

In my books F430s are supercars too, SLR being more of a GT and Well, I did like the CGT, there is just something in one for me kind of wanna-be supercarfreak.

Now that you enjoy your GT3RS; Porsche has recently leaked GT2 brochures, usability to the max with about the same OOOMPH as the CGT:
http://www.porscheguys.com/GT2.pdf

Strange that 599 is so high in price, looks like there is really frisky demand on them. Don´t know if you Mags ever owned F40 or 288GTO, you just might like one, at least depreciation should be next to nothing with those cars.

Anyways really loved to hear from you again, don´t forget us :)

[bmagni]

nice mags, I like the way you handle your garage in an active way, though I wouldn't get rid of some cars ;) congrats and may you and your son enjoy the cars

[acmarttin]

So do you just shut your eyes and let divinity guide you to which one you're going to drive each day? Like a ouija board?

[magwheel]

"Whatch you talkin about?" :x How did you know? :roflmao: Mags

[saadie]

what if you have a dream about a blue F430 .... :hmm:

[TT]

I am a bit sad to see the CGT and SLR go, but well, I just adore the constant evolution in your garage and I hope you won't stop :)

[Stoopie]

Perhaps someone should edit those pictures of the F430's with a watermark, since other pictures were already stolen from this topic by other forums, and they put their watermarks on those :x

[magwheel]

I am a bit sad to see the CGT and SLR go, but well, I just adore the constant evolution in your garage and I hope you won't stop :)

Hey TT, Good to hear from you. :D It's been a long time. Evolution or Revolution? Funny you should say that! I've got a 'little' surprise :shocked!: to make on Tuesday or Wednesday and it's just for you and Jabba! :roflmao: Mags

just incredible man!

[magwheel]

How about a big teaser until the I make public the 'Surprise..... Surprise"!

1) It has 2 ways in and only 2 places to sit :?:

2) The power is in the front :hmm:

3) It has about 2444 types of shoes :crazyeyes:

4) It has paddles to play with :-/

5) Giddy-up! :onfire:

6) Mama Mia :drool:

7) If you input the right numbers on the graphic attachment below, you could get half or 1/3 of the name of the SURPRISE! (Depends on how you want to call it!) :wall:

Let's see how many JW members can guess the right answer. :prr: :P :roflmao: Mags

Good guesses so far! :D BTW, I hope you're a outrageous looking female, :shocked!: 25-39 years old with a large rack :drool: so I can say "I love you" back, otherwise, "Thank you Sir for your fine, manly guess!" :roflmao: Mags

[magwheel]

599 GTB

Good guess too! 8) Do you realize how hard those dang things are to get??? :wall: :faint: :( Mags

[666fast]

599 GTB

I can get you one, I just require a non refundable deposit of $500,000 :D

I'll keep playing your game:

997 GT2

[coombsie66]

Maserati 3200GT?

[TT]

I won't even try to guess it :) I want the surprise :)

BTW mag, I know it probably doesn't pop your cherry, but what about "older" cars?

What fascinates me about them is that with few $$$ you can buy lot of cars :) and I think 1970-80-early 90 cars have such a charme. And usually you can buy and sell them without even loosing lot of money :)

[magwheel]

BTW, Just because you guessed something and I haven't said yea or nay to your post, doesn't mean you have guessed wrong. :x You may be right... and not even know it! :slap: You'll notice I said good guesses to every post so far! I don't want to ruin the teaser and give out the results and besides, it's fun watching everyone take their shot..... uhhh at guessing..... not at me! :2gunfire: Mags

p.s. The surprise should be here sometime tomorrow unless a 'Terminator' gets involved somehow! :prr:

[inso]

My guess would also be GT2, but i guess they are yet too hard to come by even for you Mags. Well maybe it is 996 gt2, that shouldn´t be too hard to get.

[cooperluke]

Well... the right numbers on the attachment are : 3-6-9

Soo...

It has someting like:

963
936
639
693
369
396

From these options... let me think

[cooperluke]

Porsche 936, the engine I believe is at the back, so... it can't be.

Buut, you say its an "old" car with paddles???
That makes me remember one car...

[cooperluke]

The Ferrari 355 F1 could be a guess, although it only uses one right number.. but it is mid-engined... maybe a Maseratti?

[cooperluke]

Well... final guess... Maserati 3200GT Cambiocorsa Spider

Just the 3-6-9 numbers aren't what I've expected.

Let's wait to see... :)

[cooperluke]

Well... it could be other thing different from a car, maybe an airplane or a boat!! :D

[cooperluke]

5 post in a row... what a spammer... :oops:

TT, I'm assuming you're talking about sports cars of some kind. I'd be a little concerned about maintenance upkeep, the ability of parts and the reliability. :?

In the past, I've played around with a 1963 Chevy 409, a 1964 Chevy 409, a 1970 Chevy Chevelle 396 and a 1970 455 Pontiac GTO. :wink:

Routine maintenance was OK but extended repair probably would have been a pain. They were still very exciting cars! :lol: Mags

cooperluke, Wait a minute.... hold your horses here! :bah: I certainly don't want to mislead anybody. I believe I said if you input (punch in) the right numbers, you'll have either 1/2 or 1/3 of the name of the surprise depending on the way you want to refer to it.

Focus on the '2444 types of shoes' and Giddy-up! What else wears shoes other than a human being? And when you say the phrase Giddy-up, what are you referring to? :?:

Heh..... heh...... heh! Can't sleep, work or play huh? :crazyeyes: You guys know this is driving you nuts. If all goes well today and tonight, tomorrow, I will release the surprise but only after I give you the answers to all the clues! :slap:

FWIW, The surprise is already purchased but it's arrival is what I waiting on. It may not even be an automobile! :prr: Yeah right!!! Mags

[btbailey]

Well "giddy up".....sounds horsy to me....so i reckon its this.

A Ferrari Enzo OR AKA A Ferrari F60

Now i can type '60' on a calculator so that would be 1/3 of the name "Ferrari-F-60" or 1/2 the name "F-60".

Did i win??? :)

Yessss, And you can also type 355, 360, 430 and 640 (Lambo), all part of a car's name! :lol: They may also be right and may also be wrong! :x Keep guessing..... it's on the truck on it's way here. Disclosure tomorrow afternoon! Mags

p.s. You did hit on a clue hint.... just gotta take it a little farther! :roflmao:

[bmagni]

you can type so much things there

8CC
M6
612

57 or S7 - as in Saleen

[nthfinity]

good golly, don't tell me you bought the Nero Black F50 that sold last Monday...

[bmagni]

24 as in Z4 M Copue !! thats 1/3, FE and with paddles :D

[sameerrao]

Are you sure it is not 2448 types of shoes. If so I think I know the car. --> 612 Scaglietti

[dutchmasterflex]

^ That would be my guess too

[magwheel]

good golly, don't tell me you bought the Nero Black F50 that sold last Monday...

Nooooo.... I'll relieve you of that thought. :niet: Anyway, if I did buy an Enzo, it would be Red. Damn I love that car! :drool: Wish my Uncle Bill (as in Bill Gates) would lend me the money. I'd promise to pay him back in 20-25 years! :roflmao: Mags

[magwheel]

Are you sure it is not 2448 types of shoes. If so I think I know the car. --> 612 Scaglietti

Verrryyyyy good guess! :clap: You deciphered the one clue.... almost! BUT, I just checked another source again and according to the 2 different write-ups I read, it could be 2444 or 2480 types of shoes. :ninja:

Since you got the one hint almost right, I'll give you another one for FREE! Ain't I a nice guy? :slap:

The absolutely correct long version name of the surprise consists of a name, then 3 numbers, then three letters and then another name. So there is actually four parts to the name of my surprise to you guys (and girls - to be politically correct)! :prr: Mags

I hope I'm not driving any of you to drink! :drinking:

[sameerrao]

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.

Here's my reasoning:
- Horses wear shoes. There are 4 shoes on a horse
- 2444 types of shoes = 611 horses (divide by 4)
= power output of the Fiorano

Its power is also quoted 620 cv - hence the 2480 shoes confusion


My bad. I mistakenly got 611 and thought we were talking about the model number 611 - hence I thought you made a mistake and should have put 612.

So what do I win.

Hope you got one of the darker colors - it looks fantastic in maroon or silverstone grey.

Are you right? Maybe you is and maybe you ain't! :D Pretty clever little devil, aren't you? :twisted: All that calculating and rationalizing. Lemme guess.... you're a college professor.... a mathematician.... a Texan who probably owns a couple hundred oil wells and just wants to make me look bad by hoping to make this teaser too easy!

What do you win if you're right? How about a few 8 1/2 x 11 Hi-Res photos of some of my cars (your choice) if you are right? :hmm: BUT..... remember, I didn't say you were right! :prr:

I just can't reveal the surprise until tomorrow when I'm finally able to rub my grubby little paws all over it. Plus, I have to send out a BIG THANK YOU :clap: to a certain someone who sent me a ton of leads via e-mail to try and help me find one of these things. Mags

p.s. You say the 599 looks good in the darker colors? :shocked!: Lemme guess again.... there's dozens of them running all around the Lone Star State! I thought those were harder to get a hold of than Chicken Teeth? :roflmao:

[sameerrao]

^^ :mrgreen:

[sameerrao]

good golly, don't tell me you bought the Nero Black F50 that sold last Monday...

I just remembered - Didn't you say that you were planning to buy a 355 this year? Giddyup man! Time's a wasting. You have only a couple driving months before the roads get winterized. ;)

So who are the current JWers with the prancing horse? Jabba, magwheel (times 3 soon to be times 4), and me. Anyone I missed?

Bobafett and that kid's whose dad owned an F50, Enzo, etc are no longer active on this site.

Better get a move on it. What color were you looking at? F1 or manual? From experience let em tell you, hunting for an Fcar is so much fun. I wish I could afford another one. C'mon mags adopt me. :)

[inso]

F430 Scuderia would be a nice one too, BUT I guess the name we are going after is Fiorano 599 GTB.

Well anyways whatever the car, Mags is not letting us down, never has been, never will.. Congrats mate, again, for a good purchase.

[taygunho]

So who are the current JWers with the prancing horse? Jabba, magwheel (times 3 soon to be times 4), and me. Anyone I missed?

According to JW car registry griffith has f355 and rex has f360 CS
