Is that yamaha fast? I'd think your 1977 SLC450 is faster - Is that for sale by any chance? the old SL that is

yes.. that Banshee is really fast.. not as fast as the SL55 though. It has a 350cc, 2 stroke high pressure engine. And that thing can go up to 150kph on dirt... and it can do it in a short distance.. Let me tell you, I never used the 6th gear on dirt. I kinda checken out after a certain speed. :o

And NO.. my 1977 450SLC is not for sale.. I still use it every once in a while.

2003 Mercedes SL55
I've heard dumber opinionated ones

But some people think certain cars need to be certain colors. Mercedes...black or silver. BMW....black or silver. Audi...black or silver. Ooops. Starting to sound boring.

I went with black and red, because I find it very appealing. I got rid of the rid floor mats and got in some black ones. Nice look.

Of course a Ducati should always be in yellow.

heh take it easy, you might not agree, but everyone is entitled to their own "opinionated" opinions

as for me, any sl55 will do for now, until mine arrives in the summer

Well vraa...
I like Black outside and red inside, but dark colors in kuwait are painfull. You will haev to clean it at least 3 times a day in some seasons. And I don't like silver, so red it is... I had it on my 1994 SL320, so I wanted it on my new one.
And the regular (not mod.) yamaha Banshee go for around $5000.

And Tariq.. nice ride you have.

Dark colors in the sugar land area are also a pain (maybe not as much as you say) but a lot because there is ALWAYS construction in the houston area.. no matter what!

i haven't washed my dads car in 5 days and it looks like another color now!

5000$ Banshee, Yall think my dad might let me get one or should i just wait till i can actually drive a car?

I feel sincerely sorry for the poor folk in the Middle East, when oil runs out in 50 years then you'll won't be able to drive your fast mercs any more.

Might I remind everybody that perhaps the oil sheiks should see to it that their wealth trickles down the main populace of their country?

Economics...its a b*tch

My, what an eloquent post that's entirely on-topic. Incredibly articulate.


Vraa: wasn't it Henry Ford who said a car can be any color so long as it's black?

OM: All else being equal, yellow is faster.
