Thanks Draggie! She's an awesome old thing! Slow but wonderful. We have a 280S as well. It's similar to the 280SE of your grandfather, but had a carburettor and about 20kW less power than the 280SE. 
Its a little high for me at the moment, but I'll be fitting it with a couple of things very soon. I'll create a thread and post pics once I've done the first few adjustments ^..^
*waves to baker* Mmm, interesting collection of cars you got there. I know what you mean though... those cars are so sweet, but they are only a dream. But... Just do what I did to get the closest experience. Invest in a steering wheel for your PC 
I've got a 26" LCD coupled to my PC, so it feels pretty immersive. Now, I just need to get the frame + bucket seat combo ^..^ its just so expensive though... Yea, of course, but when the vehicle nearly costs as much as a huge house, I start looking for some alternatives XDBaker wrote:Yeah, a steering wheel is something to consider. Nothing beats that feeling of driving the real thing though.
No, well it's a 2000 model. Have a look.Dracius wrote: No warranty left on the Ford I take it?
hehe, that speed issue can easily be sorted out, but then you'd be paying R10 petrol for every 1KM you drive, haha!. 
). I know of quite a few guys who modded their Midges to a fair-thee-well. Indestructible little things! Although you can have some serious fun in them if you're willing to compromise a little. Our 280S has a manual 'box. Given a bit of space, you can "drift" it with minimal effort. People find it totally amazing that you can put some serious smoke on the tires if you really want to. 
I don't really like to do that though. But it is priceless to see the looks of astonishment on the faces of the Beemer drivers. I do sometimes like to take them down a notch or two. It came with air suspension which gave it the handling and roadholding to match the Italians. An amazing car. True...today a BMW 330i would just about match it for performance, but back then, it was a supercar. 
thank dog. Here is a pic of it We had a '94 Civic of the same shape (although locally they were known as the Ballade). We had 215000 troublefree kilometers in it before a taxi did some forced alterations and she ended up destroyed. 
those things are demons with aftermarket turbo kits. So easy to manage that engine and there are TONS of parts for that car. 
) The stock dials are a designers dream! then a slight sound system mod... I'd better start saving... 
Got this scrapbook of my car I made. Used to work for HP, and they decided scrapbooking was a good area to promote their printers o.O so yeah, i got sent on a scrapbooking course =P yea man, thanks alotYukon wrote:nice one dude! those are amazing cars to mod dracius! i'm sure it's the same down in CT as it is here whereby everyone buys them to sup up and mod! glad ur not doing it the "dutchified" way most ppl here do...start with the engine
I love the stock look of her and I'll definitely be working around the engine area, which I have already started, as evident by the cold air induction kit I've still got some -huge- ass plans for this car.
