As soon as it is on US soil legally, and gets all pretty with some new paint!
BTW, Nate, there's a perfect factory DIESEL SLC (übercustom order) over here, they want 7,000 €.

Hey Miguel - any chance we will see 'the road to Marrakesh' in a G?

I was thinking I might return the (most non-threatening) favour and pop down south to see you - it depends on lots of stressful stuff going on here at the moment of course but life for me might get surprisingly simpler soon.

Right now, while I wait to make some money, this is as much as I can offer!

Look at this music video! Is this a coincidence or what?!

The Pimps of Joytime - 'Janxta Funk!' - Official Music Video - YouTube

How often do you see TWO identical W123 wagons crashing?

Add me to the long list of distinguished forum members who've had the pleasure to meet Miguel. Miguel, my father and I had a BBQ dinner tonight at Ray's BBQ Shack in Houston. We had a great time conversing about his travels and experiences with cars.
