Look what I saw

So I was driving down the road with my 3 kids and wife in my humble 230G when I slam on the breaks and turn into a parking lot, pull out my camera and snap snap snap.
Yes my wife and kids have medicated me and the lithium is working again but man what a sight in real life

Re: Look what I saw

to bad he can't park which is probably because he/she hasn't figured out that the car is almost impossible to door ding with the running boards. Mine's 6 years old and not 1 ding... and it gets stuffed into plenty of spaces... but those yokohama 285's on 9.5" wide rims are certainly a sight. too bad aren't weren't 33's! I'm still waiting to see one with MT tires. although the bfg a/t would be a more sensible choice... The view from the back is the most intersting becuase you really see how wide the tire are.

If they would only allow you to purchase it without the light guards and that silly bar under the front bumper, it would be very tempting.

Re: Look what I saw

Seems that this guy has a collection as he parks his toyes each day in the same spot e.g. show off spot.
I have seen an H1 Lotus Lamborgini and Maserati yet the funny thing is the strip mall where he parks does not have any company in it that would support these toys. Not even a law firm

Aaron, what's that little pipy for that's sticking out from the back (next to the trailer hitch adapter)? Tell me that's not your exhaust.

I suspect a shoe fetish within your family but your car looks nice!

Mike,

It's Northsea ... but I'll forgive you since you called me Mr.

You think that 230G is wearing these red ones when he's taking the G out for a drive ... the colors match by the looks of it

Re: Look what I saw

Rick: I thought you would be asking about the box on the door the spare tire is mounted. That pipe is the exhaust pipe. Early 460 Gs had the pipe placed in the middle. Regarding the shoes, we keep all out shoues outside. We do not bring them into the house.

Mike: When my wife first moved here, she did not know how to stay on her side in a garage. We have a lot of Air Force neighbors. Plus airports is one of the things I am an enthusiat of. Originally, I wanted to be an architect with an emphasis on transportation architecture. I'll have to post some model airports I have built. I have posted a suburban train station in Germany I designed. So the lines are like the park lines at an airport terminal with labels "Air Intake, No Step, Fuel, Push Back, etc..."

Aaron, I was only joking when I mentioned the shoes

Again I had a look at your pics ... and yes what is that little black box for? Does it house the trailer socket connection for the power supply to the trailer?

I never had a close look at an early 460 so I didn't know where the exhaust came out. Isn't that in the way when you're hauling a trailer?
