Mmmmmm........I like 2 but also made as 4. 2 classified as roadster but 4 normally referred to as phaeton.
Classic styling; popular with the rich and famous.

Post by: Camo on August 30, 2013, 08:32:45 PM: I thought the Phaeton was by Chrysler and only a concept car?

In the garage next to the C4. Another eBay (Jakki placed the bid) purchase. This time I checked it out first. Only one bid so I picked it up for the opening offer.
C3 underneath with even less luggage room than the C4.
Not the sting of the vette but very cruisy.
Getting used to LHD.
I'm sure there'll be pics if I get some issues fixed for Burrawang.
Does chev running gear and Vette suspension allow me to convoy with club cars? :drag:

Post by: Camo on August 30, 2013, 10:11:42 PM: Very cool. :thumb:

If my Dodge is allowed to hang with them on occasions then I'm sure the Excalibur will be fine, if it can keep up :bouncesmile:

Nah! Only 305. Hard to justify an upgrade at this stage as it only has 5000 miles on it. Money tree will also need fertilizing.
