I want one in that colour, and then I'd get an E63 wagon in the same colour to match it.  ;D

If the wagon is available in that color....I'm adding both to the lotto list.

It isn't, but I'm pretty sure you can just pay extra and get it painted in any colour you please.

Talked to a Benz sales guy a while back who had a client order a custom red C63.

Lamborghini Urus parked at a meter in front of my office building. Plain white, nobody around noticed it. The 1:1 Hot Wheels I'm driving this week is getting more stares (Pearl Blue Charger).

I saw a black one here the other day, passed me going the other direction.  It was black, at first I thought it was a Cayenne with some horrible body kit.

good description of the Urus right there
If driving an Alfa does not restore vitality to your soul, then just pass the hospital and park at the morgue to save everyone time.

Now drives a Jaaaaaaag...and thus will not pay for anything during an outing...but it is OK, because....I drive a Jaaaaaag.

I saw my first one Friday afternoon in Calgary. It was yellow and definitely different looking.

On my trip to Montreal yesterday I happened upon one of these, really hard to miss




There's one in my neighborhood, in a duller grey. Red Ferraris too.

^hey it is a practical hatchback.

Here's mine going up to MSM with my mountain bike (wheels & seat removed), golf clubs, cooler filled with beer & some food and my duffel bag.

That's actually quite amazing by sports car standards.  :thumbup:  I couldn't get a third of that stuff in my Z3M.  Too bad it didn't have a fold down tailgate.  ;D

^ Yeah, that's pretty good.  I did see a Z3 with a trunk mounted luggage rack a few days ago all loaded up.  That's about the only way I could handle that kind of load.  The guy i bought the car from had one that came with the car when he bought it, but never used it and ended up selling it.  It still has the mounting hardware on the trunk lid.

I'm gonna be down your way in a few weeks (not sure if you caught the vacation 2019 thread), would be awesome to catch up with you & see the Z3.

Be cool to get together for a few brewskis and laughs.  The only thing i have coming up around then (that I'm aware of anyways) is on June 22.  It's a former boss's 70th bday bash and it's gonna be a good one!  Anyways, send me a pm when you are in the area and I'll try to get out for a visit, or you guys can come over.  I assume you will be at Shane's brewery for a visit, so maybe we'll catch up there.   :cheers:

June 22nd is when we'll be down in Rothesay playing a round of golf with Shane & then off to the brewery afterwards... so it might not work out  :o

Saw this:


Which is coincidentally also today's car calendar pic.  I wonder if he has the same calendar.  Like Bubba.

Must've only made them in red & white  ;D - all three are the same! The real one, the calendar one, and the pic I found!  What!  Cool!  Coincidence?  I gotta wonder!  :bang:
