    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

After five years the production of the McLaren SLR will come to an end, and to 'celebrate' this Mercedes-McLaren will build 75 of this extreme 'Strirling Moss' edition. Named after the driver that won the 1955 Mille Miglia in the 300 SLR. The new SLR is styled after this legendary car and will have no roof or windows. It's powered by the same 650 bhp V8 as in the 'standard' SLR's and will accelerate from 0-62 mph in 3.5 seconds and will not stop until it has reached a topspeed of 218 mph (350 kph).

It will only cost a mere €750,000 (1,044,262 USD, 696,549 GBP or 1,535,431 AUD at the moment) but you will have to add local taxes etc. to that price. Mercedes will only sell you one if you already own a normal SLR though; guess I will have to sell that Enzo now to fit this in my garage... :d

Well, Living in a country where you have a lot of sun is a good thing if you buy a car without a roof... ;)

I think the front looks better than on the original SLR, but the rear doesn't look good to me.
 
Be much better to use the original 300SLR shape with modern running gear, more to the point, how about a run of replica 300SLR coupes .....??
