I'm sorry but the only open top car that looks manly is the 427 Cobra.

Anything else is for hairdressers

Holy crap, that thing is a dog!

You guys who reckon it's hot need your head read!

It looks like a Chrysler. Funny, cause the Chrysler uses an old Merc platform. Merc has done a double dutch....

The Merc is average looking at best and I've never really liked the look of Zonda's either they look a bit out of proportion at the back.

The Stumpy front and elongated rear looks way off imo. I guess I'm just of the long bonnet small boot sports car thinking though.

Don't like this new design...Is it me or has there been a decline in Mercedes' build quality and style? I've been in their showroom a handful of times recently and really don't like what I'm seeing.

I dont mind the last model SL55 and the newer S-classes (with the 2 squarish headlights next to each other?)

Some of there cars are pretty nice but I'm not sure about build quality. some are making rediculous power but :)

    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
