: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:

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!

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:

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

^^ 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:

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

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

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!

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


Is that supposed to be there???

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

Its a Valentine One. Great men think alike :wink: http://img134.echo.cx/img134/4481/dcp12344xt.th.jpg
(its in my 944)


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)

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

Nice Photos...

Would we see GT2 soon ;)

Here is a 3D Model... Download Google Sketchup " www.sketchup.com " and download GT3RS from the 3D Model library...

Yo Mags! I grew up in Denver so I have a serious appreciation for your plate on the RS. GO BRONCOS!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:


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!

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

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

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:

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:

Yes..... and it only cost me $132,000! :shocked!: I wound up buying my Porsche Turbo S while I was up there getting the damn 'T' put back on! :bad-words: :crazyeyes: :faint: :roflmao: :wall: Mags

Unreal!!!

Do you think you could give guys like me some of your financial wisdom?

Not trying being a smart ass....... but get 'adopted' like I did and have a Father who worked his ass off for his family :clap: and got a little lucky in his business! I'm just one lucky 59 year old kid! Mags :D

:mrgreen: so.. how DO you feel about adoption, cause i'm open to the idea :P :lol: :mrgreen: :wink:

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :wanker: :fuck: Just kiddin! Uhhhhhh... I've had a few 'thousand' offers before yours! I just don't understand it! :hello: Mags

Jeeezzzz..... you guys are too much!!! :roflmao: Sorry about that but I like females between 18-21 and preferably with 38 - - 44DDs! :drool: :drool: :drool: Uhhhh...... don't tell my GF that or 'my ass is grass and she's the lawnmower'! BTW..... but not to bust your bubble again but I sold the Lambos last October! :crazyeyes: Mags

must be fun being a trust fund kid 8)

dang :( :P

Does your girlfriend fall in this catagory by any chance???

:lol: :lol: I'm sure you get them about every hour :lol: :lol:
..I just hope your teaching your kids all about good taste in cars :wink:
most of the people I know know jack shit.. and thats just sad :P :lol:
(is there a better hobby\passion really? :mrgreen: )

anywho, hope you're having lots of fun and enjoying this internet jokey
(where else would you get so many odd proposals :lol: :hmm: or maybe I'm wrong.. :hmm: :lol: )

I only wish she did!!! :cry: BUT...... she takes good care of me and that maybe more important..... right? Somehow I didn't think you'd agree! :roflmao: Mags

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!!!

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:

Really Expensive Rear License Plate Light Bulb
 

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

:lol:

Good lord man! You have an addiction and I think its time for an intervention. So why don't we start the healing process by you sending me all your cars :mrgreen:

Nice purchase! Can't wait to see the CLK63 BE!

:mrgreen: I happened to be around :wink:

wow looks great :D im not a big fan of the SL's interior (or any other mercedes' of a couple of years ago) but the designo package makes it looks pretty good :D and the white paintjob looks superb 8)

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:

I definately second that!
