The elegant Ferrari California faithfully reproduced in precise detail at very large scale with closed roof. At 1:8 the model is approximately 60 cms (24 inches) long. The model is extremely accurate and was developed using original data. Each model is mounted on a carbon fibre base plate with a museum quality clear acrylic dust cover. Inside the cabin is recreated in precise and realistic detail with every piece of equipment and every button on the dash beautifully reproduced. Creating the master model took around 3,000 hours of work by a small team of highly skilled modelmakers. The master parts were then used to create moulds from which the components of each model of the limited edition of 199 were hand cast in prototyping resin. Each individual model then took around 300 hours more to finish and build. This is undoubtedly the best large scale model of the California available anywhere in the world. Each model in the edition of 199 pieces has a signed certificate of authentication and a unique edition numbered plate on the base.

Growing up in small towns most of my childhood I never saw many Mercedes. I think the first one I saw was on the television series Dallas. When I was a teen I moved to Dallas. It was 1981, Dallas was in full blown indulgence mode. There were tons and tons of Mercedes in every combination.
It would be years later when I drove my first Mercedes. I remember wondering what the big deal was. That’s the funny thing about youth, you never appreciate engineering. I was more concerned with how many girls I could fit into any car I was in. Driving pleasure never entered my mind. Come to think of it not much else but girls consumed my teenage years.
Well, it’s been over thirty years since those crazy days. Now, much older, weaker and unattractive, I find myself appreciating the finer things in life. Good red wine, well balanced cars and yes, my recliner.
Refinement now has a place in my life and refinement is one of the many consistencies afforded us by Mercedes.
When I first laid eyes on the 2012 Mercedes C250 I immediately was impressed. The C250 does not stand out because of its styling. Its style and grace make it stand out.
Sit behind the wheel on what Mercedes considers an entry level car and you see exactly what the German’s are all about. What is listed as 201HP and 229 lb-ft of torque seems underrated by a third. Mated to the 7 speed Adaptive Automatic Transmission this little 1.8 four cylinder is extremely quick.
Mercedes has always stood for more than performance. Sophistication has also set them apart from the red-necks across the pond. We have made great strides here in America over the last several years but, try as we might we just can’t seem to create the refinement of the Germans.
The driving position is stellar. And everything is effortlessly controlled from the pilot’s seat.
What else can I say, I absolutely loved the C250 and for $ 37,000.00 you can put one in the garage tomorrow. Visit Classic Mercedes this weekend and see one for yourself.

2012 Nissan Juke
I’ve stated for some time that I am mostly impressed with the Crossover market. Just like Neil Diamond music, the crossover as a segment is as pop-bland as you can be. Justin Bieber surely must possess somewhere in his collection a highly (read overly modified), pitch black Crossover.
Each manufacturer has put its best foot forward in this segment. The Ford Edge, the Hyundai Tucson, G.M’s Terrain and Equinox, and even BMW with its X3, are all great sellers. Yet, it’s getting more difficult every day to tell them apart. Basically, just give me the one I can afford and gets good mpg.
So what’s the next logical step for Nissan? Ah, let’s make the Dr. Seuss collection, I guess. First, with the Nissan Cube, and yes it is, and then with the Juke that looks to me kind of like a Nissan Cube that The Jolly Green Giant tried to pry apart.
However, it was in the driver’s seat that it all went temporarily south for me. Sitting there on top of the gauge cluster was a rear spoiler from a nineteen seventy-six Trans-AM. I’m not kidding. Serving as an eyelid connecting the two large humps of the gauge cluster was this…spoiler! Single worst automotive design I’ve seen yet. Just unbelievable.
If you can get past that, and I couldn’t, the 2012 Nissan Juke delivers everything buyers want in this segment. It’s peppy; really, the 1.6 liter power-plant manages 188HP and great mileage, 27/32 actually.
Wait, from here on out everything under 1.7 liters will be referred to as a power plant and not a motor.
The six-speed gear box is un-impressive but, I don’t think this buyer minds. Plus, if you don’t want to row your Juke, opt for the CVT transmission. The Juke is Fun and easy to drive. What I think is odd about the design is that I think it would look better as an off-roader with a higher ride height and larger wheels and tires, it already has an option for all-wheel-drive. Or, as Nissan has done, slam one on the ground and shoe-horn a GTR motor in it. Now you’re talking. You can visit our face book page at thecarshowktbb.com and see the entire Juke GTR build.
Finally, I love the pricing on the Juke. It starts at $ 19,000.00. I spent fifteen minutes of the boss’s time clicking on every option Nissan offers except a car cover and I couldn’t break $ 29,000.00. That’s value. One funny thing though. They offer an optional rear-spoiler for $ 390.00. I didn’t click on that; I’d just tear the one off the dashboard.
