Saw a red Corvette just now on PIE. That’s really rare.

No photos as I was riding.

My boss in US just took delivery of a top of the line Corvette Z06 3LZ with full option late last year, which cost him ~US$100K (I jokingly told him the car is cheap as the amount can't even get him a COE here).

He waited over a year for the car (wait list is typically 8 months and up). I have a photo of his car, but don't think it is good for me to post it here. Will show you when we catch up.

Must ensure that the charger is delivered (fully burnt) to him, else he would have to steal power from others and get stomped in the underworld. :D

Unlike AMG, which is part of MB setup, Brabus is a 3rd party tuning company and thus the brand will not appear in registration & LTA record.

Brabus EQV are likely brought in by PI.

But i think is after market add on locallly... There is no way or unthinkable that PI will increase the OMV and taxes by importing these aftermarket parts already fitted.. 

When I was shopping ard PI cars last time I did see PI versions of mercedes with full AMG kits that is not in VIN list. You have to scrutinize the list carefully and know what to look out for. 

I think similar case for vellfire/alphards etc.

SBH should be early 1989 plate.

One of my dream car when I got my driving licence that year.

I find this car design quite ugly. 😅

What you said make perfect $en$e with our hefty vehicle tax structure. 

Even for AD, such as Polestar tune offered by Wearnes, it is done locally instead of straight from the factory for the obvious rea$on.

I supposed it comes with the B pillar signal stalk when u signal

Nope, the bulge on the B pillar is just decorative feature. Caught this at Kovan last week.

The are a few of this car in on road.  All very well taken care. I think one of our member here own one. 

If I can have spare cash,  also don't mind having one for the Tti model.

I think this one, or was it a similar wagon not this plate, is almost permanently parked at Neil Road/Spottiswoode area. Owner probably stays there.
