Ekona Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I think anyone who refers to a convertible as a hairdresser's car should be given a life ban from ever owning a decent car ever again. It's lazy as hell, and right up there with "Har har ur Nisan has a French engine lewls". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 however...... I never said convertibles are hair dressers cars - just said this one was ........... especially with the roof up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBorehamUK Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 you also have to take into account what how you are perceived - the merc has always been considered a girls car / a hairdressers car sadly, as I quite like the look of them Does this really look like a hairdressers car. 0-60 5.5 secs. 272 BHP and 155MPH. ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MERCEDES-SLK-350-ONLY-21-000-MILES-SAT-NAV-HEATED-LEATHER-NOT-AMG-/252562885361?hash=item3acdebcaf1:g:-b8AAOSwLnBX7W-T Yes but it's at least a fast one to get you to clients appointments on time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy78 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Not that it should matter what people think about your choice of car, but I know 2 people that drive SLK's... They are both middle age women... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandit Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Only the mother could love that ! Impressive though. My bank manager said I cant afford one.. The Maserati MC12 can accelerate from 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds (though Motor Trend Magazine managed 3.7 seconds) and on to 200 kilometres per hour (125 mph) in 9.9 seconds.[1][5][6] It can complete a standing (from stationary) quarter mile in 11.3 seconds with a terminal speed of 200 kilometres per hour (125 mph) or a standing kilometre in 20.1 seconds.[1][6] The maximum speed of the Maserati MC12 is 330 kilometres per hour (205 mph).[6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I could never buy a car that doesn't look good, that's why I never went the 370 route; although the newest Nismo isn't bad, but it came too late for me. I'd moved on by the time that came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Only the mother could love that ! I must be it's mother then cause I actually like that MC12. Just Googled it to see how close I am to being able to afford one, ...unfortunately I'm just roughly £1,190,000.00 short of the price tag. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
