well shes gonna be gradually morphed into a fully fledged road rally car, providing I have the cash to do it.

First event is probably going to be the funky elephant, so it'll be sort of a trial by fire :D

Will probably need you guys help on a few things like brakes, suspension and a sump guard....

Oooh the ebay one - nice find, are you the guy that Chris and Carl have been trying to get into buying a 300 by any chance?

EDIT: strange that it has bling chrome trim - most GLE's by this time were black trimmed!

Beware Marlon, it will drain you of lots of money to get it to a decent spec for road rallies! ;)

Good buy BTW!

Marlon, what colour code is it? I've a feeling you might have a visitor one dark night with a soocket set, and lack a front wing in the morning ;)

I might come round tomorrow and have a nosey if you are about!

The combination of chrome trims and black door trims is normal. Many cars have that.
