That is a clean and uncomplicated looking vehicle

Not great picture, but AMG Scaffolding Edition. Alright a very nice orange on the car, good engine note without being obnoxious

So much down force it is amazing in that city traffic I bet.

Needs more wing, me thinks....

I mentioned I like old Chebby Trucks right? Flamage and SS badge add, what 40, 50 HPs? The step side was totally rust free.

That truck can tow 36,000lbs (16,300kg) and haul 7,400lbs (3350kg) in the bed. In reality, it can do much, much more than that.

However, that particular truck can't (because of the wheels and tires) and doesn't (because of the tonneau cover). I work with traveling superintendents that actually use these things to tow their house from jobsite to jobsite.

Man, I could make that C10 shine like a diamond. A little elbow grease and effort. But a C10 stepside 4x4? Goodness!

I love the square body too. Those wheels were the jam when I was 10.

The regular ones are beautiful. I'll take mine in that bright green matte finish. They can keep all that black series stuff.

[broadrun96]

Exactly that, that Stepside? Yes please and twice on Sunday

[S griffin]

I do like that style of truck, seems a special sort. Hope it drives as well as it looks

Am I the only one who doesn't like the looks of this car? It's the colors but also the shape of the car itself.

Spotted whilst out on a drive this afternoon.

Wonderful rear suspension!
And in the first picture followed by a wonderful design in the old A-Class.

[S griffin]

That suspension needs to be able cope with the bumpy roads around there. You don't see many old A-Classes either

We see plenty around here - but not many that are in a decent condition.

Thanks for the pictures, Peter. But who was the idiot with those stupid wheel nuts on the ZR - I would be very surprised if they were road legal, sticking outside of the body?

[Peter Mallett]

I thought the same which is why I photographed them.

Should see some of the trucks here, make those look cute and small with spiked lug caps 6-8" out from the tires

I'm with you on this - it's not a good looking car at all. Also the name is annoying 'AMG' - shouldn't be a model name. Another example of a marketing department not understanding anything and just sticking a badge on it (see also Ford 'Zetec' badged cars without a Zetec engine in them).

Ever been to Houston?

[broadrun96]

I like the knockoffs at the ends. That's the modern bling curb feelers

those things are so bad but the feller gets points for having it on both spares. He probably needs them quite often, especially when fending off Mad Max.

I believe the man said it was a 96. He said "it just keeps running." 5 speed manual, too.
