Hi all, a little newbie to this site. First off I like to say I don't own a FTO but have always loved the site of them. I think they are one of Mits finest looking cars they have made and they not common like lances and evos. I'm in Brisville and see a few FTOs in my area and of course Pimping SAM!

I haven't met many of you and hope to meet a few more at the Brisbane autosalon.

What I drive is little bit rare. Lets just say there isn't any local club nor a national club for the type of car I drive

but instead I get to enjoy the company of other clubs and forums

Sam might leak out what I drive.

Can't be a merc, he said there is no national or local club, there is a national and state's club for the merc.

WTTC though.

Give us a hint so we can have a guessing game.

What I mean is there no club for the type of model of my car eg. FTO, riceline, supra.

Hints eh. okay
1. Its not an import
2. Its not an aussie car
3. I can't legally bring home a threesome without help.
4. I get hit by the bad weather if I slow down to 40km/h
5. Rear ending me is far worest then hitting me at the front.

Some big clues there.

Oh a series II R170. I see you change your wheel to CL203 style.

Now we have 3 members who own a Merc

Just out of curious, are you a member of the Mercedes-Benz Club? The offical one.

My mate had one of them... Well as a company car .. It was yellow... He upgraded it to the recent shape, which was sooooo nice to drive ... But he has since sold that one, and gone back to an Audi....

Welcome to the club by the way ...

mr-charisma · Post by **mr-charisma** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 9:41 am

aww, when Sammi said it was a Merc I was hoping it was gonna be an old 1950's Mercury Lead Sled or something

I love those cars!

The SLK must be a nice car to drive

Not to my tastes in the looks dept, but still a very classy car

Decent amount of Grunt to it too

Look forward to seeing you on some cruises ...

If you talking about the Australian Mercedes-Benz club , I'm not cos they look to be very old school merc club which isn't my style.

I like the R171 too but also love my R170 shape. Most of you will probably beat it as it isn't a really fast car on the straight.

As for cruise wise I don't think I'll bring it out to taint your cruise anyway I perfer being a passenger so I can take rolling shots of cars =) so can't wait to meet some of you =).

FtoSam · Post by **FtoSam** » Fri Sep 07, 2007 11:04 am

I forget the exact specs but i think its a 2L supercharged???

Yeh its got a little bit of go..

I think brian is planning to be a passenger on cruises... That way he can hang out windows taking photos...

Looks like we're gonna be having some good photo coverage on all our cruises from now on... Between Brian, Baden and everyone else's camera's we should be pretty well right..

Nah there are lots of younger people with new cars in the club too but i haven't seen anyone under 30 for sure though LOL

Do a chip, a larger pulley and a decent exhaust and you be leaving most ppl behind here in straight and corners.

Post some more pics at the "Other Cars" section.
