Martinnfb Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Thank You Ryan. I haven't seen the car yet. There pictures were sent to me by the technician who was just finishing detailing . We had another snowfall over night and the towing company canceled the scheduled time. Needless to say that he went overboard, doing trims, polish, wax etc. I will be scared to touch it 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Nice !, I like your taste in cars Sir? That new Ridgeline is such a gem. Very smart concept. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 The current Ridgeline seems to be not a patch on its 1st gen predecessor. Only a mother's heart could love the old Ridgeline... Over the past two months, I've been really enjoying the advantages of a pick-up truck here in NZ. Too bad I'll have to return the Hilux next week... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Yeah the old Ridgeline was a can of worms friend of mine had it and was suffering well. I hear you Ivan, I wish we could buy Hilux in Canada. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they took our old Jeeps away from us we all thought they’d issue us Humvees like the US forces were getting, but somebody got paid off and they gave us these horrible VWs they called Iltis. They were truly World Calais Galloping Pieces of Schitt The shape alone of that thing brings back bad memories and gives me the shakes . The shape alone of that thing brings back bad memories and gives me the shakes . Even a Kubelwagen would have been better, and if they absolutely insisted on buying German, why not G-Wagens like everyone else with a real brain bought. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Ivanovich Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Ernie... Just in case... The "Wolf" is a G-Wagen. LOL I hated the "Iltis"... I'm damn sure they laughed their a**es off at VW/Audi when they sold the manufacturing tools to Bombardier. Back then, a baseline "Wolf" (Mercedes G-Wagen) came with an 80.000 "Deutschmark" price tag. An Audi-manufactured Bundeswehr "Itlis" cost about 25.000 DEM. Now, you do the math... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Martin, the 'Stang looks GREAT !!!!!!!!!!! It looks like they did a good job on her, and on the back side of it all, they took their time and did it right...... I am assuming she is coming home on a deck truck? Did you insist she be covered in this crappy weather to prevent rock chips and or slush spraying on her new paint?? Normally, I am NOT a fan of black rims, ( just a personal thing no offense intended for you guys who like and do black rims) but I must say those graphite rims look really good and suit the car perfectly, the color of them is spot on................ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
