Default Re: Owning an old Merc as a cruiser? Other options?

Some of yoo blokes are car snobs. Going slightly off topic, that's one of the reasons why we have major car manufactures pulling out from Australia. For the last 30 years Australia has produced very good cars, yet Australians avoided buying them in droves. The last Holdens built in Adelaide were great vehicles.
It appears you have to have a particular type of car, capable of doing 300 kph in 200 metres then you have to lower it so it can't be driven over speed bumps and then put on ridiculous drug dealer bling wheels. I'm sure a metre wide speakers are involved as well.Then it's considered a "Cruiser"
The "grass is always greener" is only in your minds. A 70's Cortina, 80's X Falcons, even Commodores, they are all good vehicles. You don't have to have the latest Amerrycarn Mustang or a 60's Pontiac to enjoy cruising. Yo a buncho snobs.
