MERCEDES SLR McLaren
I have a Mercedes SLR McLaren on the way. I hope that it gets here soon. I will be putting it on when i get it. The Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is an Anglo-German grand tourer jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz and McLaren Automotive. Due to the presence of the automotive gear box, front mid-engined arrangement, and its driving characteristics, some commentators classify the SLR McLaren as a GT, whose rivals would be the Aston Martin DBS V12 and Ferrari 599 GTB Florano. SLR stands for "Sport, Leicht, Rennsport" (sport, light, racing). Mercedes-Benz stated that they would build 3,500 SLRs over a span of seven years, with an annual production of 500 cars. The car's base price, GB£295,337 (approx. US$450,000, €351,269, CHF 500,000 or C$499,999c. 2009), made it the ninth most expensive street legal car in the year 2008. Just a little history on the SLR. That is what I kinda wanna do to my SLR xmod when I get it. So stay tuned and keep xmoding.

BARRICADE
A lot has been going on since I've been on last. I have had a number of these car. This is my best one close to original as possible :-). Barricade first featured in 1990 as part of a Decepticon race track patrol team, his vehicle mode being a Formula One racing car. A second Barricade was made in the Transformers Energon series as the leader of the team that formed the body of Bruticus Maximus, his vehicle being a missile truck. And finally in the 2007 live-action movie, Barricade is a Decepticon that transforms into a Saleen S281E police car. This is my version with a small twist. I put a sweet Ford sticker on the hood. I have the lights on the top and head lights. Tail and brake lights also. The head light are blue :-). It has the green lights under the chassis. It is all wheel drive and has metal bearings in the front knuckles. Front disc brakes. Blue springs. The rear tires have the wheel spacers and the wide rear axles. This make the car handle super sweet and it looks better than any i have seen. The chassis as of now, only has a few upgrades. This one I am in no hurry to complete. It is and will always be ready to run. It is a Saleen Mustang and will run as such. I have lithium batteries on the way. I will keep you posted :-).
