I've been in a Maybach, its a fine ride. If I had a choice, I'd take the Rolls Phantom. I have two Mercedes now, I'm in the mood for something differant.

I'd put my money on Italeri, then Tamiya.... or maybe Revell.

The main problem will probably be getting a decent license.

Other than that, I do hope we'll see this baby in kit form soon.

LOL, you know me Al, I start looking for the next car the day after I buy the car I'm in. You have to trade those suckers in while the equity is still high in order to stay in the same price category without to high of a payment. Of course, Sally doesn't always agree with me :-) :-) :-) .

You can get a diecast model in 1/18 or 1/43.

After extensive research with 10 other internet scientists, I'm sorry to report there are no Mercedes Maybach other than diecasts.

Sigh... I guess I have to buy a real one.

Hey Easyoff, you seems to buy alot of exotic cars... ya think you can hook me up with a good deal?

Please have your people call my people.

That site that has them 1/18 scale cast Maybach's, just what currency is that they use, to cross over to find out just how much they want, in US dollars for them.

They looked like 89,50 for two of them, then 77,00 for the other, and when I put 89,50 under German marks in, that came to over 5,000 dollars, US. That can't be right, is it, so it has to be some other currency.
