Cool My dad picked up one of those when I was in high school. We dropped another engine in it and drove it awhile. Good, simple, basic cars

Nice Ride!
My brother had a '64 Falcon Sprint in the early 70's. Was a fairly quick car! Amazing they only had the 260 CID V8 engine instead of the 289. But with the low ratio rear end and factory 4-speed combo, it took off pretty good. He finally had to sell it. Too many tickets!

The 7 series is simply the most beautiful modern sedan made. There can be no argument, just look at them! All of them (except the first one...).

That is one fabulous shot of the fighter taking off!

Yeah I love the 7-series. I'd have a hard time choosing it over the W140 V-12 though. There is a certain something about the W140 (only in its S600L form though) that I can't have enough of
**suede headliner, 400hp, too much leather, and that mercedes look**

I think below the S600 I'd take the 7-series

The new 7 though... hhhmmmm.. I'd take one for free and sell it
I like the way it looks as a whole. However I love details and whenever I look at the details... I just can't help but wonder.

Wrong!

Actually, we can open this up a little:

Tell me, which car you see in the front to the right (easy), the one to the left (tough) and the one in the background?

And what do we see on this picture?



Kind regards
Eberhard

I thought about an Opel GT, but couldn't really make it from what was showing.
