Put up pics and skid vids of the Hitler Benz. R3v will appreciate.

PS: you're a poof and lol at the pic of Unimpressed Az being Unimpressed.

Ha, I didnt think such blasphemy as the word Mercedes could be uttered here without the banstick being thrown about like coke in a drug bust.

But in the interests of keeping the thread moving (thanks to an epic amount of torrential rain smashing the east coast of Australia at the moment leaving me with no ability to get to the car and work on it) here are some pictures and video of my other baby.

It's a 1972 Mercedes Benz 300 SEL 6.3. Basically it was the first car that AMG tinkered with before they actually became AMG. Essentially they took the 6.3 litre v8 from the 600 Grosser and jammed it in the garden variety saloon 300 SEL creating what was known as the Bankers Hot Rod. They produced 6500 of them from 1968 to 1972 and for that period it was the fastest four door saloon in the world. Good for a quarter mile time in the mid to low 14's and 0 - 100 in just over 6 seconds.

Its my weekend feel good car. When you've had a prick of a week, everything has gone wrong, the missus wont put out and your dog has shit on the carpet, this is the car that makes it all not matter.

Plus, if any peanut in some riced up skyline or some V8 gaybox Commodore (Caprice or Lumina I think for you guys) trys to leave you at the lights, the look on their faces when you sit level peg with them is priceless :)













Easily the best part of the car and the bit that sold it for me (aside from the grunt) was the interior. The previous owner (an Indonesian Prince no less) lavished the entire thing in acres of red leather. You seriously just cant help but smile every time you drive it.





And yeah, it does a decent skid ;) If any of you read Jalopnik you may remember this video from a few months back. Somehow they found it and lots of people got up in arms about skidding a classic car like this. Fuck em I say :hitler:

When I come up to QLD next month to work on Az's Liberty Of Fail (now encorporating the AIDS Emporium), I want a ride in that thing, Phil.

P.S you're the poof that chose to farquar around with Subaru's that give facial expressions exhibited above. Do Subaru owners shack up together and cuddle to share their pooftery?

I'd also like R3v to know that Iain told me he was going to give up on his E30 instead of putting a VQ30 or an LSx v8. Burn him at the stake.

i read this entire thing in a drunken irish accent, knowing that this came from Australia. Love it

300SEL 6.3, mmhmm. the e30 build is coming along nicely too.

I need a wagon as a daily as the missus won't cop a ute, so shut your hole wang chung! Yes, we all cuddle together but it's totally not gay. Unlike your clear taillights on your Nissan ute. Nice work, you rampant swallower of man-gravy.

And yes, shedding myself of my useless piece of automotive placenta is being seriously considered. It seems every shit waffleswaffleswaffleswaffles is buying an E30 these days and dropping big horsepower motors into them, so I'm going to cry about them being a sell out, being too mainstream and will move onto building a tube frame VQ30 Trabant.

Wot?

Big whoop, wanna fight about it?

P.S you yanks amuse me. I look forward to coming over there sometime this year and teaching you what Australia is all about.

They were replaced because they got smashed while drunkenly thrashing the ute through forest trails on Fraser Island with a car load of Canadian backpacker chicks a couple of years ago. Keep your ladle of man gravy, you'll need it to keep you warm at night while fixing your soccer mum spec wagon. Again. :D

[Iain]

teaching you what Australia is all about.

Drinking, fucking and fighting around the world with your mate Tugger?

PS: when you going? You should come to Farbinfest.

Benz skid is all class.

building a tube frame VQ30 Trabant.

Got pics or a build thread or five?

[Kershaw]

dude that benz is fucking pimp.

[Schwarz325]

Epic fuckin win, i love the "fancy rednecks" aka. aussies :D.


nice work man, one day i'll be able to afford a trip down under

[e30guydownunder]

Got pics or a build thread or five?

Iain has left his build threads to die in a fire along with the hopes and dreams of people accommodating the soon to be nanny-state that is NSW. Soon anything other than a hybrid matiz will have a power to weight ratio far to exorbitant resulting in the death of atleast 5 babies per kilometre traveled.

Fucking nay-sayers

Again 2jz318 kicks ass sketchy, let the joyous skids commence, perhaps maybe around the fail-liberty whilst Az and Iain attempt to guide the AIDS to the phenomenon we call forward motion

Dunno. Had planned on heading over sometime around the end of April for my 30th but as per usual Az and the others are too slack to organise anything. An E30fest sounds like just the excuse I need.

dude that benz is fucking pimp.

Quoted for truth. Only car I have ever owned that chicks actually stop you and want to get in and go for a ride.
