Aaaaaarrrggghhh this is killing me I so like this car. Geoff

Hi Michel over 1000 views of this post at least 800 by me. My doctor tells me i will be ok after a few more sessions. LOL i still like looking at your car and after riding in a couple of 6.9's last weekend gone. I think i have 6.9 fever i hear it has no known cure but treatment is financially draining. It can be sated by exercising the right ankle but never removed from your system. LOL Geoff

 

[Michel]

You're very funny Geoff

But on a serious note... Everytime I look at it my heart skips a beat.
Sadly It needs to go. And I'm reluctant to sell it to some young kid who might wrap it around the first tree or pole he sees

Do you ever fly into Sydney?
I could pick you up from the airport

 

[motec 6.9]

Yes I do fly into Sydney from time to time .On a serious note late in the new year I may be in a position to come to some arrangement . I have been delayed a few weeks get to see Christmas with my family. But then fly out for 10 weeks to outback WA with work . Geoff

Geoff, you will find Michel to be a very warm and thoughtful host; and you will find his 6.9 to be a worthy car. I would seriously advise you accept his offer to collect you at the airport and then you just never know what might happen next...
Regards,
Brian

Buying a car how exciting good luck with the sale.

So Michel once you have sold the 6.9 and the SL AMG what would you buy next?

Cheers.

Talking of single malt...
Sorry for not answering last night, but the MaCallan had the better of me...

Geoff...
When you're ready and if the Red Terror is still here (or for sale), I'd be delighted to pick you up and go from there!

Professor,
You are too kind

Tim,
God only knows...
But I would still own one W116 (blue)

 

[BenzBoy]

I believe this could be Michel in disguise - testing his new purchase. Note the military support for secrecy...

Brian

Good morning Michel how is the blue W116 going?

Have you considered buying another W126 Battleship when you have sold either of the other Merc's for sale?

We need more Battleship owners in the Club Michel!

 

[motec 6.9]

Hi Tim i think you mean Heavy Cruiser. Mercedes Last Battleship had Maybach writen on it . Before that it was the W100 (600) Grosser . The W140 was their Pocket Battleship . So i conclude heavy cruiser for W126/116 . Geoff

Michel: You have turned a drab 'ole milan brown into a real head turner. The brilliant red makes it a stand out.
I know.
Having driven it once or twice myself, I have seen heads turn!

Thank you....

OMG was it originally brown??? Hahahahaha!! Michel I bet you couldn't re-paint it quick enough!

And I bet the W116 was heavier than the W126....

Internet access tonight had to drive the 3 and a half hours to Kalgoorlie. 43 degrees so its cooled down a little bit. But man i still like looking at this post. Geoff

 

[motec 6.9]

Hi Michel i notice i have looked at this post a fair bit. I hope all is well in the real world. In Kalgoorlie for my day off then back in a car for 3 hours late in the afternoon so i can return to work on Sunday. Only having limited internet is driving me nuts.but then i spend 80 hours a week at work were i am at the moment. Memo to self dont prove to boss that you are competent my return date to home has been delayed another 8 weeks and could be longer due to operational requirements. Came for 10 weeks looks like 20 as a minimum. I think i will need a holiday after this Geoff

I feel for you Geoff, those temperatures are almost inhuman..
Just hang in there... Think of the girls

That way you won't even notice it's hot!
