hmmm, my mate has a Skyline

That's a 2 litre and think that's a straight six

looks quite nice with the 18's on it, and very clean, but at 2k for a 1994 car I can't justify it, but maybe that's what there worth anyway

I do like the Skyline "Stagea" though

There was a georgeous red one on the bay a bit back with a R34 front end, but this one ain't bad

thats 3 220 petrols, either in saloon, estate or coupe. Them old mercs seem very good value at the moment. Some absolute bargains on autotrader, and get a decent lpg kit into one and float about the place, as my cousin used to describe driving his merc.

Not a bad choice either.
Good to hear you are a fan of mercs, i suggest the old w124 because i had one, they are a real nice car and quite cheap at the moment, if you just want something built like a tank for cruising around in very comfy and refined surroundings. But show one of these a corner with some speed and you get a feeling what its like to drive a pendilum. My dog always liked sleeping in the back of the old merc, but when i started going quick he knew to jump up to the front, because he did leave a mess the first day there was a bit of sideways fun. :mrgreen:

My cousin (a different one) has had one sitting outside his house for a number of years, its in a sad state at the moment but well worth fixing up.
