Imagine the logistics of getting those 3 two seaters there - and the cost ??? :-o

I know you can't buy a seat in any of them because of insurance - and they got 3 :(

I still think ML407 looks the best conversion - yeah not so practical blah de blah - not such a good view blah de blah - but it still looks the best :D :D :p

The photo session was all very last minute and I didn't have chance to wash the wheels ok...





That's my story and I'm sticking to it (much like the brakes were doing) ;)
