    Infiniti Q45 with Active suspension. IF you can find one with a working Active suspension system, snap it up, get the maintenance done and enjoy a unique, fun, and invisible to police 4 door.

    Not old school enough, needs to be pre-1990.

    My current daily driver is a 1997 S600 Coupe. Great car. Looks like more of a barge than it really is.

    There's one here with well 400.000kms on it. Mind you, the original engine wore out at 300.000, and is istting on a stick as a display, and the car now sports a 350 detroit mill.

    Anyone have Mercedes W111 experiences? The lines are really growing on me, especially black with red interior examples.

    Old thread, but I've owned several W116's including two 6.9's. You mention 111's.... have you driven one? They're slugs by modern standards. May I suggest a W109 6.3? I've owned other 109's, but not a 6.3. A 6.3 is a very visceral, brutal car. The 6.9 feeld heavier and more fluid. Both are heavyweight prize fighters in Armani suits.

    I've got a lot of experience, so if there's anything you'd like to know about the cars, please ask. Some of the M100 motor bits can push Ferrari money, but it's all still available and there are plenty of spares around for reasonable prices. The rest of the car is production 116 or 109 so while it's not cheap, they are plentiful and bargains can be had.

    My advise, buy one that is sorted, clean, and just had suspension work :D
