Schnitzel Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 this is the first car I had. 1974 mercedes Benz 208se Even had it in this colour though the paint was roasted on account of being in the Aussie sun for 18 years when I got it in 1992. But updated for today. This thing was comfy to drive around in like a couch on wheels 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 While some of the technology featured in that video seems over the top it's still pretty cool that not only is it possible but also not far from being standard equipment. Maybe not in my life time but I do see that kind of tech coming. That said, the one thing that got me excited the most was the ability to drop myself off at the start of a MTB trail and have my vehicle drive itself to my finishing point so I don't have to ride all the way back to my car. Being able to do a point A to point B bike ride and not have to ride back to A would be amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember back in the day when it was a big deal to get the chance to ride in a Benz or BMW (even an older model). Remember my first times. It was definitely all in my head 😂 . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a EBMM JP6 BFR Bahama Blue 1 of 50 (preferably #4 or 45) and one of these which they are just coming out with https://shop.music-man.com/ernie-ball-music-man-majesty-guitar-mystic.html My old SS Commodore had paint similar to the Mystic Dream paint, so it would be a 2 for 1 nostalgia thing for Me. Can someone post a pic from the link for Me given when I do I am still storage limited to 46.23kB and it wont let Me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mauler5150 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Wonder why they never captured the purple hue of the paint in those images though. For any guitar players on here, try a Majesty and tell Me they aren't the easiest guitar to play ever made. My only dislike is due to the small body they don't sound as good as the other JP EB models but the difference in playability accounts and overcomes any tone deficiences IMO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first setup, Stick is bolted onto the car's antenna and there is a suction cup to keep it stable. It has been field tested and footage has been released in the pies thread. After tests, I wanted to lift the stick more, so I bought brackets, and the lift made a huge difference. Check it out: Before, my car looked like a "lady bug" by people , now the view is waaaaay better. The stick was all the way extended, better car view. The brackets: The selfie stick broke 😞 I upgraded to a better one 🙂 Edited June 2 by T4M* 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndv Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 All show and no go. Another thing to consider when buying a Ford. For a few years now, Ford redesigned the water pump location, putting it behind a bolt on plate. To fix it if it where to leak, or just replace a pump due to end of life, you're looking at 5k pre-rona 19. They engineered it where you take that plate off, you are also replacing specific bolts, timing belt, pully to name a few. Putting the right out of silicone in the areas it is suppose to go, is critical or you will be leaking again. You're pulling fuel rails, fuel injectors, spark plugs to name a few. The job is a pain. So if the seal or pump blow out prematurely after warranty expires your out 5k easy. Not a fan of that design. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
