up for sale is my 1985 mercedes 500 sec

the car overall is in very good condition I have been across many old vehicles so I like to weigh the whole vehicle out vs just engine vs cosmetic
so the exterior is overall very good condition for a 28 year old has some minor paint chips has been repainted before but presents itself very well gets compliments everywhere it goes the right side quarter panel has a few small bubbles nothing major the bumpers and moldings are also in good condition just some scratches and chips on rear trunk and roof again it's nothing major I have seen many of these sec's in much worse condition and even still wanted to buy it because of how rare it is and how nice the body design is 
the interior is overall good condition it's all there the leather is excellent condition the only major issue is the wood around the shifter and the ashtray is peeling from age these days can be redone very cheap or even a fun project to do by yourself sanding and staining the wood and also the driver window doesn't work I can assume it is the actuator but am not positive should be an easy fix
mechanically the car runs and drives good has a new radiator replaced due to age new waterpump,new alternator,those were major issues when I purchased the vehicle otherwise it runs and drives no issues no overheating and transmission shifts good.In order for the vehicle to be brought to perfect needs some work which is not that bad getting into a project car that is overall damaged this vehicle runs and drives and is all there alot of small fixes can be done to make it perfect

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

13-year-old boy swipes dad's Mercedes, drives across Europe

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

After an argument with his adoptive parents that resulted in them taking away his mobile phone, an angry 13-year-old boy ran away from his home in Italy and headed straight to Poland to meet his biological sister. But instead of taking the train or hitching a ride, like most on the run, the young man (an accomplished go-kart racer and car enthusiast) grabbed the keys to his father's Mercedes-Benz and jumped behind the wheel for an impromptu road trip.
With less than 200 euros (about $270) in his wallet and a passport in his pocket, the youngster managed to put more than 500 miles between himself and his distraught parents, crossing two international borders in the process, before German police nabbed him just shy of the Polish border. According to reports, the vehicle was tracked - it wasn't his driving that alerted authorities to his location.
Reunited with his mother and father, who traveled to Germany to retrieve both their son and the vehicle, the young man apologized and acknowledged his error. As a result of his actions, social workers will increase checks on the family and we can be sure his parents are now hiding the keys.

Aston Martin signs Letter of Intent for technical partnership with AMG

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

A little over two months ago came reports that Daimler and Aston Martin were in talks, again, about "supply and technical-cooperation agreements." The next step has been taken with Aston Martin announcing that it has signed a Letter of Intent that looks "towards a technical partnership" with Mercedes-AMG GmbH, and the two companies aiming to have definitive agreements done by year's end.
While it will get to use certain electric and electronic components from AMG, the true golden egg for the maker of the Vanquish will be the ability to develop a new line of "bespoke V8 powertrains" that will be fitted to "a new generation of models." In return for opening up the larder, Daimler will get a non-voting stake of up to five percent of Aston Martin.
Nothing else is being said about the tie-up for the moment, but there's a press release below with a few more details.
