    Once they are set-up they are pretty easy. Cake compared to what we all deal with int eh f-world. If you try to restore one however, you'll be thinking that a Ferrari is a better investment as parts are extremely expensive and they take forever to do them correctly. It is not unusual for a non-concours resto to get well beyond $50k unfortunately.

    Yup a little off topic, but yes it is stamped concrete. I was after a particular look and needed something that suited the undulating area and slope. It's actually under renovation at present and is being re-colored a dark charcoal.

    Thanks, pretty sure that'll work perfect for what I want. It is just one of the better pattern and color combos I've seen.

    My MB 500E, produced just before AMG was brought in house. Joint project between Mercedes and Porsche. One of 633 imported into the U.S. in 1992. The car won "Best in Class" at the 2004 Huntington Beach Concours and also served as a reference car at a Popular Mechanics event in Las Vegas honoring Mercedes a few years ago, when one of the moderators of www.500ecstacy.com (now defunct) owned it in Southern California.

    Factory optional "Evo" wheels and Euro lights. Recaro seating for four. Old school: four speed auto, recirculating ball steering, rocker switches inside, ashtrays everywhere, but built like a tank. 322 hp at 5,700 rpm and 354 ft/lb of torque at 3,900 rpm. Its 5.0 L M119 engine was adapted for racing by adding twin turbochargers, and won the 1989 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Sauber C9. Actually, 3 of the top 5 cars that year were running this engine. It was also used in the MB C11 Group C racecar (pic below).

    Thank you, Jimi. I'm thankful that my wife talked me out of selling mine a few years ago.

    Yep, 13" Chromodora's. The "+1" step up to 14" was pretty far fetched at the time.

    Very nice looking 993 you have. I nearly pulled the trigger on a speed yellow 97 turbo but my wife preferred the creature comforts in the 996...plus it only had 15k on the ticker. My guess that your 993 will continue to keep it's value for years to come.
