No Brainer
Here is a no brainer. 
I have been offered today a Porsche 911 carrera4 1994 model[964] in immaculate condition in exchange for my Sl..
I have had a 911 before ,and they are unbeatable in the driving department.
And I do miss driving in the real sense...
What do you people think?
Should I do it?
Or should I keep the SL and get myself a Porsche on top?
These kinds of decisions are hard to make and help is appreciated..

Don't do it
Ha! You are faking this. You are in love with your R129 -- I have seen your posts. Plus, you have done so many things to make her so nice.
How can you trade away something you are obviously so in love with?
Might I suggest, if you must have the Porsche, that you trade a wife or daughter? (Don't they let you have more than one wife in your country?) Or, if you are in a pinch, perhaps a son or maybe your house.
But not your R129.

Amen. My sentiments exactly. Dafi, you have a car that is awsome in every respect. Thats your baby. My advise, keep your 129 and buy the Porsche as a racing toy. JOSEPH

Thanks guys for all the advise...But you don't have to worry..
I test drove the Porsche and remembered why I sold my old Carrera..
It's a pain in the
to drive...And it feels its age...
The SL feels like a 2002 car and cannot be beaten on comfort...so the decision is keep it or swap for a bigger engine.....
I was told yesterday about an SL 60 for sale..1998 for USD 30.000
So I rushed to the dealer to be told that it was sold..no wonder at that price.
It was an immaculate AMG in black with a red interior,AMG body,AMG 18's split rims,even the dash was red stitched leather...red and white speedos[300 kmh]...a truly awesome car..An opportunity that never comes twice..
About the many wifes thing,Joe,I am a Catholic man.HAlf of the country is here you know..So,only one wife and no divorce and no remarrying...So,really
I have nothing to swap with....ha...ha...ha..

HURRAY!!!! Dafi you had us worried for a while, Keep looking and I am sure you will wind up in love with a 500 SL. In the meantime enjoy your beautiful 320.
