Lets see:
540K I just love the big pre-war cars.

Gullwing, do I need to explain?

Short wheelbase and long wheelbase Pullman. Both black.

A 300SEL 6.3
A 450SEL 6.9
A 500E
A 2003 S55 AMG
A 2003 E55 AMG The Beast.
A 2003 SL73 AMG
A CLK-GTR
A SLR Silver Arrow to compliment the Gullwing.
A McLaren F1, MB engine!
A 190D

And a 2004 S600 for a daily driver! After Brabus played with it
Black on black.
Last but not least a monster of my own creation.
SL800. I would let Brabus bore the V12, and play with it until they hit 1k hp and 1k foot pounds of turque! Then get a custom 5 spd. manual put in, have the suspension tuned to perfection, along with the breaks. A nice custom set of ultra light weight rims to finish this beast off! Color will be all black with no chrome. Going for an evil look.

Ok, you asked, so here I go.
1978-80 W116 300SD (teal on blue mb-tex if they have that)
1981 W126 300SD (mine, silberdistel/green leather)
1984 W126 300SD with manual transmission dropped in (dark green on palamino)
1985 W126 300SD (black on black leather)
1987 W126 300SDL (black on black leather)
1984 W123 300DT, black on black mb-tex or leather, with the black hubcaps with the emblem from an old 240D and tinted windows, a corporate W123 of sorts.
Throw in a 2003 S600, the girls like those, champagne ext, tan ext.
And while you're at it, how about a 2004 S400 CDI, same colors as the S600.
As you can tell, I like black on black, and matching ext. and int. colors, and the OM617s.

This is the Lotus Omega.

Taken from an other site.

Quote:
2 turbochargers were added to the standard 3.6-litre straight-six engine, accompanied with a new 24-valve cylinder head, power jumped to 376 hp. The maximum torque was even more astonishing, with 419 lbft, it nearly matched Ferrari F40 ! Autocar magazine found it took just 5.1 seconds for 0-60, while top speed was limited by an oval track to 164 mph. However, given the pretty aerodynamic efficient appearance (the orignal Omega was as good as 0.28), it was believed to be capable of 180 mph. Wow !
