Not because it is not a beautiful car but I'm to tall for it. I was lying down…...

texxn5 Posted June 5, 2013 #815 Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) Hi Sjors, sorry about the joke, but yes, it's real. The car is built for a person 5'8" and 180 lbs. That's exactly my size so I fit well. The Targa top comes off, which gives a little more headroom, but the leg room is the same. You would not be comfortable in it. I just sold my Mercedes E-350 Sport. It too is fast and comfy at the same time. Funny thing, I actually took the 348 out for a spin this morning for a little bit.

augie Posted June 6, 2013 Author #816 Posted June 6, 2013 Nice car Tex. I'll use Sjors' excuse (I'm taller than he is). Besides, I gave up fast cars and sexy women long ago (or was it fast women and sexy cars?). Robbyn- If you're going to wait for Chuck's Winchelsea, you best start scratch building. She'll be a beauty but he mentioned a while back there are no plans to kit it.
