Can't be too many around with chromed OEM wheels. I don't recognize the sticker on the windshield though.

There's always a small voice in my head saying I should buy a Phaeton. The most expensive one on Ebay right now is less than I paid for my Legacy.

Chromed wheels, ACT-4 and racing in the sand.

How could it NOT fail, is the question

Yeah, I posted this on the FB group yesterday.
My brother in law has a first gen Q45, and it's a pretty cool car.
Also after seeing the Top Gear with our SVX, I've wanted a Merkur to do donuts.
