My new car.

Postby deadkennedy » Thu Mar 30, 2006 5:28 am

It's been a while since I posted anything on this forum, but I've been working a lot lately.
Good thing is I got my new car. Here are a couple of pics I took today. It's a Mercedes E280 sport.

If you see this in your rear view mirror, please move aside.  ;D

Some bad weather here in Belgium today.

Image

Big 18 inch wheels, 245/40 tires up front, 265/35 in the back. Note the sport brakes and perforated discs.

Image

In front of my house.

Image

It's only a 20 minute drive from where I live to get to the German autobahn. And you know what that means: NO SPEED LIMITS.  ;D ;D  

Image

Hope you like the pics,

Frank.

Great looking ride but it has this funny hump on the back...I think its called a station wagon ;)

Why the wagon version and not the sedan?

Oh and if you see ME in your rear view, move over  ;D

Great car though and enjoy!!!

The big hump on the back is for extra downforce at high speeds.  ;D

I just like the break version better, and the extra space in the back is really nice. (no kids, big dog).  :)
This is a photo of my previous car, a Volvo V70.

Thank's for the replies everybody.
