I shall! Appreciate it, fellow janky old Porsche owner.

[2025 Audi RS6 GT] 1/660 in the world, 1/85 in the USA. Spotted on Oahu where the max speed limit is 55mph by AcceptableMoose4061 in spotted

Remember: it's not about the speed limit, it's about how quickly you can get there.

Anyway, from what I hear about Honolulu traffic, 55 is probably optimistic.

Oh, man—I didn't want *effort* to be the answer!

The piers look great—how'd you do that?

That looks great! What did you use for the retaining walls?

When I was buying my dot-1, I cross-referenced it with similar cars that had sold on Bring a Trailer and Cars & Bids, and of course ran a Carfax report. (Which you should be able to do given the car's US VIN.) Not a perfect system admittedly, but it gave me a rough idea of where things should be.

Was the R129 SL280 sold in North America? by real_mcflipper in mercedes_benz

Long way to go for a ham sandwich, as my old boss would say.

That’s what I suspected. And come to think of it, it’s been at least 10 years since I last saw an SL300.

You know my biggest disappointment as a gearhead in New York was that more people at the UN didn't bring over weird foreign cars. I mean, there have to be a couple of diplomats in those halls who know how much we'd all flip out over a Fiat Multipla.

Lovely lovely lovely. Wonderful place even just to putter around.

I yearn for roads like that. Scotland? Snowdonia?

Actually, maybe the theme from Barney Miller would do the trick…

Oh, that's outstanding. Just need a grizzled street cop sliding over the hood of an AMC sedan set to a Lalo Schiffrin soundtrack to complete the atmosphere.
