As much as previous Merc experiences have left me never wanting one again, I can't help but look at the SL with a twinge of desire, and now that the SLS is unveiled, I can't help but want one... It's a stunning and iconic car, it draws so much from the classic Gullwing but it looks so relevant.

Much better than this effort:

IIRC there's only one white w/ black interior here, and it was the launch unveiling one, and a couple of weeks ago it had a cracked windscreen which they had to replace with one flown in from Italy.

1.9m, full spec with luggage in nero, too.

no, go to singapore and return the favour, be a douche on a road. slap a fake plate (preferably one of those singaporean lambo's) and hoon around, then quickly ciao back to johor

Christian Audigier needs to be kept far, far away from cars and airbrushes for the rest of his natural life. And clothes, too, so we won't have that many popped-collar tattoo-shirted douchebags running around anymore.

Company road tax.
Personal is half that.

Edit to add that car is about as exotic as my left big toenail, considering the base car is a 645i.

Confirm, cos 1.2m is nearly Turbo/GT3 territory.
Also, Cayman S PDK is damn fun around Sepang circuit (except for the stupid steering shift buttons... they're inverted!)

Exactly, anything can be bought if you have enough money, be it a Phantom or your very own F1 car. However, the tax structure we have in this country means that the excise duty on a Phantom would be enough for a top-of-the-line 7-er or S-class, AS WELL AS a nice lil Ferrari, with change to spare.

Millionaires are mostly business people, and it doesn't make business sense to put that much $ into a RR when a number of similarly impressive vehicles can be bought with that same money. For royalty and those lucky enough to have a tax-free ticket, it's far more reasonable. Still, it doesn't mean it can't be bought by anyone, and it doesn't mean it's a royalty-exclusive thing.

I saw a maroon Phantom in Northport, fresh off boat, about 5-6 weeks ago. Seeing as how there are barely a handful of Phantoms in this country, and undoubtedly not more than 1 maroon one, it probably is the same car.

Also, saw a black Maybach with trade plates going up Jln Ampang during rush hour today.

got details?

Damn, that would be an absolutely awesome lil car to do up.
Pity it's in such a sorry state, all that rust...

0.o that looks like a pleasant day out...

I want to learn how to Google like that, seeing as how this thread now isn't only for own shots.

Also, since I like this thread I am also considering posting up Googled pics of the world's most exotically ugly car. But in a short while, everytime I see that mitsuoka I throw up a little bit in my mouth.

Nice pic of WSJ88; I've always liked the anthracite rims.

I'd say that is a late'07/ early'08 manual? Do you happen to know why it broke down?

Flying Doctor was in KL? Ah crap... I take it he's probably gone back by now.

will that TVR ever move again? it's been there longer than forever.

Yeah it's basically to scare the newbie polis who don't know any better into saluting when you drive by. Confirm works better in a Bentley than, say, a Kancil.

I see JPJ on that waja under the logo, though...

there is a silver and black one somewhere that isn't naza, will post pics up later.
