meant to write Amazing Merc in South Florida. So I go to the Ocean's Eleven cruize in this past Saturday and what do I see as I'm starting to leave... The Baddest Merc I've ever seen this far south!!. Had to share. The owner tells me he purchased it like that from the widow of the past owner in Hollywood, FL. What a lucky find!!!.
Yeah. That was at the Monterey Club in Fort Lauderdale on friday nite. I haven't got a chance to get a good look at it yet. Only three of us (including the Merc) parked out front where we were risking a $30 ticket and none of us had our hoods open.
thats my car it used to be purple with green flames now is bad *** black,thanks to my buddy james.hopefully it will have a new motor for billettproof next month and i will be opening the hood.laroke i love your truck man its cleeean!!!. and **** man i didnt know that i wood get a ticket where we were park.
I can't say it's the badest Merc,but it is deffinately a really nice car! Black is a huge improvement on the purple and green. Fish-tail pipes are weak though...IMO!
Hey,i'll add you to the HAMB Merc Club. You're the BIG #300!!!!!! YEEHAW!!!! Check it out when you get a chance...
Lots of guys run them here in SoCal too... Just added you to the Merc Club,so go check it out and post some pic's of your Merc! If you can,put some before pic's too so we can see the transformation.
Thanx man. The Saints and Sinners guys told me that the law just started with the ticketing BS. The club and the sidewalk are in Hollywood. The street is in Fort Lauderdale. it's the Fort Laud parking enforcement that's making the fuss. The club guys have started parking out back and then moving all the cars out front when it gets later and the place starts rockin'
thanks bob the last thread i look at before hitting sack.one more thing for the locals this saturday Russ is putting a show in dania jai ali from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm with a swap meet lets show our support .this one is good for all the locals.be there or be square.thanks
I'm glad I thought of this thread!. That Merc will definitely be photographed. Glad to see your on the Hamb Casey. I'll definitely be there this Saturday. Gonna try and bring the guys from the shop and especially the metal guy from Cuba. He's only been here 3 years and doesn't understand the whole chopping, frenching thing, I told him about it and he asked, "why would people do that?" So I showed him some pics and he was like, "I can do that no problem".... He likes it and wants to learn what people like. Looking forward to saying hi to the locals. Ozzie
hi ozzie, got my merc from fort myres in florida and shipped it back to ireland nearly two years ago been enjoyn it ever since. had it out today in the spring sun terrorizn the locals most people are amazed when it p***es them so easily. been in orlando last two years on holidays hoping to go again this year all going well. saw a matt black chopped more door on international drive but didnt meet the owner wos *****n merc though. mite try to catch up if i get back this year.
OZZIE...it's realy nice that's for sure. but believe me there are plenty of fantastic leadsleds in the south. NO i'am not taking anything away from my H.A.M.B. brother. i think he would say the same...POP.
Totally agree that there are several great Merc's in the south, but in this area, I personally have never seen one like that this far south. I thought I was looking at a rendition of the Cobra movie car in black!. I've spoken to Casey, the owner and am looking forward to working with him on a few projects.
