Sold my SL500 2003
 

It has been 2 weeks now since I sold it, but it all happened instantly

As I stopped at a petrol station, far from the city, where you don't expect to meet anyone. I saw a friend of mine since kindergarden, Marwan, as he asked me where SL (I was driving GTi golf) I told him thats I am thinking of selling it, not sure tho.

He instantly offered me a price, and asked to have it the next day for a test drive. He knows everything about the car from the day it was driven from the showroom Dec 29 2002.

So, The next day, he picked the car up, with a cheque in my hand, and I never saw the car again.

I honestly, don't feel that I missed a lot, but when I sold my BMW 540i I was sad for weeks. It was actually repaired after a very VERY bad accident, someone hit the car and ran away, while I was sick sleeping in bed @ 1:20 am. I will add some pic later of the accident.

Anyway, here is my SL500, parked next to my beautiful 98 BMW540.

(Sorry, I'm trying to find the pic)

So you have a cheque in hand after selling an $80,000 USD used car... care to donate something towards keeping the site going?

Maybe bid 100GB Pounds on the Walter Rohl shirt?

Sorry if I sound crass, but the one thig that pisses me off more than anything in life is people who gladly and often demonstrate wealth, yet do little to contribute.

Excuse me and thanks if you have and do regularly contibute/donate... shame on you if you don't.

/rant over

:)

hehe! no problem. from time to time I am & I will. Thanks to Jabba for adding me in the member list. I really appreciate it. As long as I am using this site for good, and having nice people around. I will. Promise :D

But now, I would really donate to Lebanon, and support them for a while. May you can help too.

Maybe you can buy a M5 now? :D It should be wonderfull if you liked your 540. It think it's up to you if you want to donate to the site. I think it's very impolite what rc45 said. You can't expect someone to give money to a internetsite. It's not logical at all. Most sites don't. You should be happy you have viewers. You can't expect people you hardly know to give you money for some bits and bites. This site is for amusement. There are lots of caresites, none of them beg for money like this one. It's very shamefull !

kiss my arse.

kiss my arse

kiss my arse

kiss my arse

and don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Thats why I qualified with a "if you do - thanks" :)

Sadly - without a guarentee that money/effort sent to Lebanon will not get into the hands of hezbollah lebanon will not see a single penny of my money.

Israel on the other hand can count on it.

:n00b: I see you dont know much about this site :roll: :wink:

RC is right, but little too hard on ppl asking for donation :mrgreen:

if you told me, I would take that SL straight away, but only if you wouldnt need the money for it as I dont have enough :mrgreen:

I think rc45's reacties says enough

--Dubai... when is your S8 scheduled for arrival?

Freddie... stay around a bit more time, and you'll find out JW is not a simple "carsite" as the others on the net. :D

:wink:


Custom Pics or STFU!! :D :D
Just Kidding!!!!

What's the difference? I may not post a lot in the forum, but i visit the site frequently since 2 years.

Visit frequently since 2 years ago .... and only 16 post huh.....and u are lecturing ppl how not to persuade ppl to donate..... I see where your logic comes from.

There are many ways to show appreciation to a site / forum.
- Post useful input to threads, things u want to share...
- Help contribute your skills (photoshop, programming, moderating...)
- Contribute money
..etc

I don't see any but that Mr. Idontwanttobepushedtodonatebutliketotakeeverything forgrantedwithoutcontributing personality come from.

if you do so, I'm surprised to read a sentence saying " it's a carsite like many others on the net" :roll:

You got that straight... my reacties say more than enough.

But you shouldn't be waiting for my reacties... you should be contributing something, anythine - be it time, money, content, personality, charm... anything will be a good start.

:) RC45 I wish u send me a private message regarding donation.

I can't wait. S8 will be in Dubai by Sep, but I am assuming mine be Late Oct/Nov

Sep will still be hot. Right now it's HELL!.. 49o++ and I have many sites to visit day time... Man! the car will evaporate. So Nov will be a good time to break in the engine (RIGHT!) and I will not be sweating on those newly brushed aluminum or drooling over the steering wheel ;)

Duuuh! Sorry for many posts!

Ok, but what's the difference with other sites, just tell me? And what's wrong with checking the site from time to time? I'm allready an active member on a carforum from my country, 2 forums is to much. But because there are a lot of interesting things on this site i visit it. I don't see the problem. I just think you can't ask money from people for a site on such an impolite way.

Uhm - the great attitude and friendly nature if every one here... duh...

If 2 is too much then why are you still here?

Oh yeah - because of the friendly welcome you receive...

And exactly how do you think that "interesting content" is maintained and presented? You see very few adds, no pop-ups and blazing speed... all paid for out of pocket by our gracious benefactor...

Impolite? I thought my approach was way too freaking friendly.. mmmmkay?

----

Find the sarcasm - if you can....

I bet you RC that he's the kinda ppl that copy stuff off other forums and paste in on his "active" forum and take credits.....and of course...see nothing wrong.

I always take beer out of my friend's fridge and sell for money. I don't see anything wrong, everytime I go back the fridge is refilled "somehow" anyways. I think it's a magic fridge or something.....

No, actually I never do that. But nice to see how great you all think you are. There are lots of good forums, look around, you're not the only one.

no problem, it's also great to know how you think that enjoying the materials in this forum without posting any reply is entirely okay and you don't see any problem.

we are always aware that we are not the only forum, just as you not the only leecher out there thinking leeching is entirely okay.

@ freddiefish
for instance, do you get a 170Mb review of a F430 on the front page of the other carsites ? for free? with that good dl-speed? without pop-ups?

404 people downloaded the file until today, now you can do the math and wonder which generous person/community provides this service.

hummmm..
