Re: [MBZ] Just another struggling little German company...
It may very well happen Larry. :-) Another SC. One owner car, Targe, all original with 58,000 miles. Being all original, may be picking your brain on a few updates. Want to use it for daily transport, so looking at a few things, like SSI heat exchangers. Just had a full service and the top rebuilt. I do know the car and drive it from time to time. Goes like the hammers!! More stable on the road at 100 with the top off than a Boxster with the top down. :-) My thinking is, to enjoy dedicated cars, like a 911 sports car, and a benz for real comfort for another 10 years or so. Then, I plan to down size and move more towards a all in one car, like a M5. Four sets, good trunk and an engine to to go out and tickle Ferraris with. ;-) I'll keep you updated Larry.

Re: [MBZ] Just another struggling little German company...
Any idea what percentage of that will get taken by the German IRS? It would be interesting also to know what percentage of that comes from cars vs. other income like licensing, design work for other companies, etc. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Stuttgart.
