Not to be picky.. but which trim level are you picking? Because I picked the S65 AMG, and with you pick, it looks like you are selecting the entire range of S Class vehicles, which includes the S65.

I don't know, if I knew that we were allowing trucks in a car draft I might have approached things differently. Not saying that I would have, but I could have picked the Hummer H1 as my 90's car (it was a pretty unique and iconic vehicle at the time).

Doesn't look like anyone else has a problem with the Jeep so I'm fine with it. I was more just asking the question.

Carry on.

I don't know enough about the various Mercedes models (all the numbers and letters confuse me) but I don't think we should be picking different trim levels of cars. If a particular body type of a vehicle has been picked I think it is off limits.

For example, I picked the BMW E34 M5. I would think that all BMW E34's would now be off limits and that someone couldn't pick the 540 model.

Again, the Mercedes naming conventions for whatever reason are over my head so I'm not sure if Justin's pick is an example of this or not.

I would think that different trim levels would be allowed only if there are significant difference between them. Like an Lancer, Lancer Ralli-art and Lancer Evo... (just using that as an example)

As for the S class... I don't know if you're allowed to pick a whole range of cars

I don't recall this one being selected yet. I will fill the 2000's era and select the Roll Royce Phantom.

Haven't driven one but have been in one before. One hell of a car.

I thought so too. I took an old Phantom, and someone took the drophead, which is the convertible.

I'm pretty sure I took the Subaru STi in the Asian category, but it's listed on the draft board in the 2000's slot, so what I'll do here is move the STi in Asian and in the category of 2000's team Custom Carb is proud to select car which fills a gaping hole in the garage:



The Ferrari California

Launched in 2008, the California is a grand-touring, front-engined two-door hardtop convertible with a 453 hp V8 engine and is Ferarri's most aerodynamic car ever.

This car will do very nicely in as the obligatory Ferrari in Team Custom Carbs collection.

Configure your own California:

Alrighty then.. If i can't have the Phantom i will replace it with the Maybach 62S

Have been in and driven these. Quite a machine and a bargin at only $450k



Here are a few from when i was at the MB Centre of Excellence in Stuttgart in March. This is where you go to do all of your custom ordering for your Maybach.



I took this picture laying out in the back seat.. I am 6'1" and almost laying right down.









Would you like Bullet Proof Windows and doors with that.



A few more from the Centre of Excellence

The lights are pretty cool over top of the cars. They are able to replicate any type of light from a foggy day to desert sun and driving under the stars at night.

MattyC mentioned in the other draft that he will be without internet for awhile. So he'll be Ak'd infinately. SebC is up next. Continue selecting and hopefully he'll be back by the end

Okay, sweet - In the 13th round, team Custom Carb is proud to select, in the category of Concept Car



Cadillac One

Unveiled in time for the Inauguration in January, Cadillac One is the informal name for the current Presidential State Car of the United States - the car is called "The Beast" by the Secret Service.

The horsepower is classified, the handling - classified, the armouring - also classified, most of the internal features, yep, classified.

If people really object to my selection of this car, I'm willing to re-pick, but I figure it counts as a Concept Car as it's a vehicle which will not be available for public purchase, but that advances technology which will probably be seen on other cars.
