Are You A Petrol Head

I certainly love cars in RL & even in SL. Their beauty is amazing and I wondered to myself how these objects made the transition into SL.

Today I went to 2 different car places to see for myself.

The first area was at M.H. Motors which has a land tag of - "designed for racing - built for living"

Their speciality is race special cars. They do have some other non racing vehicles but most of the area is dedicated to the wonders of speed. You know the kind; roof down, hair blowing as you speed towards the end of time its-self. The cars here range from $L600 - $1,790 in price and all are about 29 prims. Good replica's with menu's. Convertibles give you roof options and horns, nos and even neon. Some designs that caught my eye were the Zonda replica and the SLR Mercedes Mclaren. Both stunning cars in my opinion in RL and very special in SL. This area also has some concept cars, the saab aero concept for one. The line of multi colored Lamborghini's can't help but catch your eye.


An entirely different way to have a car in SL is located at the Primouth Motor Company.

These cars are all drive-able but the main aim of this place is replica's. They are amazing and its easy to see the amount of work thats gone into creating these.

For instance the VW Beetle (the Herbie car), which I am a proud owner of is 210 prims. A replica Delorean comes in at 249 prims and a 1931 Primouth Cheetah is 243 prims. These cars are not for the lightweight enthusiast. They are designed with a lot of prims and bear uncanny resemblance to the rl cars. Prices here vary usually in between $L600 & $L1,300.


Owning a car in SL is rather different to RL, we don't need to worry about taxes or fuel. You can drive on designed racetracks or even round your own home. Please make sure you know what you are looking for or take someone who does. Copyright laws mean that a lot of replica's are not called what they are. You may find a 911 Porsche under a totally different name.

Happy car viewing. Who said there was no need for speed?
