Back in the fold
Hi all.
After a 4 year dalliance with a Cayenne S, back in the fold with a G500SWB - the G wagen thing is addictive and haven't been able to shake it off. Previously owned an 89 280GES in Almandine (had onelabrador), then a 94 300GEL (for twolabrador), then the Cayenne - a very capable mode of transport - and now a G500 SWB (sadly back to onelab again). I do the V8s, and husband sticks to the less practical air-cooled transport, but the G has put a smile on his face too.
Have been a regular visitor, so passing acquainted with a few of you. Just paid membership (presumably will get a membership number somewhere), and look forward to G ownership again.
Gs rule in Shropshire!
nice G 8)
Sounds like your husband has similar tastes in cars as me ;)
nice to hear from you and loverly g you have there. admin should be sorting your membership out so you should receive the welcome package.
happy motoring
Tom
G500 SWB is pure joy.
Welcome back.
Welcome back and welcome to the Forums. Always good to see more women around. Must admit I do find it strange that there aren't that many as most Gs I ever see are driven by women.
Thats a beautiful G you've got there. Is it RHD or LHD? The spare tire cover is intriguing - it's not chrome and it's not cloth. Is it painted metal?
Sorry to hear you're down to onelab. I've been looking for one but don't think I can justify it in Central London.
Did "borrow" one for two weeks but unfortunately he was Gold and my interior black.... even after a MB pseudo vallet it still bares testament to him...
i admire women with taste :lol:
welcome to G ownership.from who did you acquire such a great looking G.Its just what my wife wants too!
have fun and enjoy those narrow lanes :wink:
Hi James - yep, currently 964 in guards, steering wheel on the right side, ie, the left... :D

Marg,
Whereabouts in shropshire?
Russ and I (both in Trefonen near Oswestry) will be doing a spot of green (more like brown) lanning over christmas although I suspect its probably more suited to crusties than your very nice shiney example :shock:
If only I someone wanted to buy my nice 04 Rangie I would be looking at a shiney to accompy my crusty 280. :lol:

See if James at G-Wagen will take a trade in? - I got a very fair price for my ML against my G and I know he has a 2001 RHD SWB V8 in Black just sitting there............. :twisted:
