The car has 37,400 km (23,250 miles) on it. Less than 4,000 miles a year, oil has been changed ten times in the six years since I got it new in November 2005 with 50km on the clock.
Mercedes engine cover and inlets, 74mm TB, MAF and EuroCharged tune. Everything works as it should. All OEM parts replaced are included. Never seen snow, salt or abuse. Always garaged.
A few chips, a scuffed wheel from a curb and a scuffed front bumper which is not visible too easily. Paint is pretty swirl free.
I'll put it on the Autos For Sale forum when I get pictures and decide on a price.
Buyers will be subjected to an interview to see if they are suitable to take over the care of the car.
I'm going to the US this weekend to pick up an Aero Blue SRT6.

Re: Moving on up to the big time.
Congrates on the SRT6, wonderful car. Your NA looks to be a very nice car too. I love mine. I'm as a matter of fact getting mine out to take a little drive today. I've really been thinking of the turbo kit when it gets developed. I have to get a job to finance my toys though. Best of luck with you new one, keep us informed as to how it drives ,etc.
Re: Moving on up to the big time.
180 - been following this from Jim's end and I'm glad it worked out for you. You got a nice one. Thought about it for myself this time last year when he first thought about selling it but the opportunity for a Cobra was a bit much to resist. I know you'll have a lot of fun with it. Congrats! Great car.

Re: Moving on up to the big time.
Thanks guys, it's a beauty. It has a small leak in the deck that the wing mounts on. Just a few drips into the trunk which came down the latch. The seal had moved sideways and opened up some small gaps, mostly at the bottom which would be OK I guess but the one on top let water in. I think the gaps at the bottom let most of the water out but some spilled over the lip and down the latch. There was no water in the trunk wells though, just a few drips under the latch.
There was no leak under the wing supports, but water does sit there, I'll fix that as well somehow. Its a pretty poor design in that area altogether. I'm planning a thread on it, pics taken as I went along, gotta do something to keep the mind active, I'm too young to go senile.

Whoooah there, time to sell the SRT6; nothing like the devil you know vs the devil you don't know.
Just kiddin' ....................... I'm sure you'll get those problems sorted out.

Re: Moving on up to the big time.
Well Dave ... you're now a member of the "2 fer CLUB". Congratulations!!! As you know, I now have 2 also. T he SRT roadster and the Red Coupe. and at one time was putting up the roadster for sale, but now I'm kinda vaselating, on that idea. LOL. You mentioned that you were considering selling the coupe, and I'll just bet that after a time, you may soften on that idea. I must say that both of your cars really look sharp in the driveway, and it might just tickle your fancy enuff, to have the privilege of deciding which one to drive on any particular day. What a luxury! Best of luck ..........

How many toys can a grown man have? Not enough really I know but....
Re: Moving on up to the big time.
All legal now, emissions, safety and RIV tests done today. In and out of Crappy Tire in 90 minutes. Old plates transfered to the newly registered car.
Now I have an orphan in the driveway. Out with the old and in with the new.
I like these Hankooks, I'll think I'll keep them.
A guy in a gas station loved the car, how old and how much etc, made his day and mine.
