Re: Beautiful Merc (?)

Its the closest thing I've seen to something out of "Ghostbusters" movie.

I doubt that it would fit into many customs halls.

Ah a morbid thought just struck me.

If it was black, one could use it as a hearse for all ye really tall people out there.

Niche marketing anyone?

Please don't tell us that you bought it for the wife to do the shopping?

Regards,

Mike

But it does 25mpg, on USA gallons @ 0.8 of our gallons = 31.25 mpg on our gallons --- Hmmm, do I smell sizziling bacon ?

Re: Beautiful Merc (?)

Not a fan of the styling but sure looks well done from a craftsmanship point of view. Love the rear axle steering.
