It's been a while since I posted anything on this forum, but I've been working a lot lately.
Good thing is I got my new car. Here are a couple of pics I took today. It's a Mercedes E280 sport.

If you see this in your rear view mirror, please move aside.  Grin

...

Some bad weather here in Belgium today.

...

Big 18 inch wheels, 245/40 tires up front, 265/35 in the back. Note the sport brakes and perforated discs.

...

In front of my house.

...

It's only a 20 minute drive from where I live to get to the German autobahn. And you know what that means: NO SPEED LIMITS.  Grin Grin 

...

Hope you like the pics,

Frank.

Drool!  Shocked

Now that's a pretty decent piece of car! My aunts E280 ( previous model) is a hoot to drive, this one must be even better!

knowing a bit of our national building style, I must say the house looks promising too... Wink

Omag... beginning to wonder why it's always the other people who can drive these nice cars...  Grin

It's the estate version. Obviously he needs the extra boot space, but I cannot concieve that he's actually going to allow childeren near it... Shocked Grin

The big hump on the back is for extra downforce at high speeds.  Grin

I just like the break version better, and the extra space in the back is really nice. (no kids, big dog).  Smiley
This is a photo of my previous car, a Volvo V70.

Thank's for the replies everybody.
