Lets be a little nicer guys
Guys, guys, guys.
How do I say this?
Have you ever been to car show and seen that guy, you know the one pointing at somebodies car and saying "thats the wrong nut" or " they didn't use that screw there" to his buddy, often saying it loud so others hear?
What you have here is a series one Batmobile, with a matching numbers engine, I don't know how many Batmobiles have genuine matching numbers engines today or even how many of the first 110 Batmobiles are left. But we are looking at the pinnacle of our interest on E9s and while there are a few decent comments, mostly its "lets pick out whats wrong and tell everybody".
How about on an E9 site somebody saying "OMG a series one Batmobile with a matching numbers engine, would be totally awesome if that mileage was correct, needs a few small things, but wish I could afford it" or ????????
I know the previous owner of this car, who is a great collector and he actually used to open it up and show everybody what was wrong with it whenever they came to look at his collection. Yes, that includes the seam sealer in the engine bay, the 4 bar front grill and some other things others have missed. But, he also showed how clean it was underneath, how perfect all the wood is, how all the materials inside are original, no rips tears or cracks, the glass, the engine all the bits that really mattered were there and yes, it pulled like a train, I actually had the chance to drive it........yes, he is that kind of collector, willingly sharing with like minded people.
Can I humble suggest, that we try and not always show how clever we are pointing out this and that, unless asked of course. If somebody on the forum is seriously thinking about the car and asks opinions, then its fair game. But, lets remember these words stay here forever and any car may be connected to somebody we know, previously owned by them or about to be purchased by some new person who joins.
Some positive comments on a what is an extremely nice numbers matching car might be nice.
