HyDef:


This is is the hottest car on the list. Look at how a person in a whole G-wagon is taking pictures of it. :p I don't like G-wagons anyway.

I like Ferraris and the SLS AMG. I hate all Porsches except the 918 Spyder.

Aint no one got a GT-R in this country? cry

There are GT-Rs in Naija. Even Nissan Lagos has one for sale. I think its N20+m

There is really no difference or not much difference

There's are lots of differences between Brabus tuned and AMG tuned Mercedes Benz vehicles (engines, interior and some external modification). Let me put it this way, AMG tunes regular Benz vehicles to improve performance G550 to G63, Brabus then tunes these AMGs engines to a whole new level G63 to G700. They all still maintain the cars exterior looks to a larger extent. Please read up on them online.

This is a amg 6x6

That's a Brabus 700 6x6 for sure. It is built using the AMG 6x6 as a base car.

Pic1 is a AMG 6x6

Pic2 is a Brabus 700 6x6

all your prices in naira are wrong.as at yesterday a Porsche careera 911 in Lagos goes for 40,497,336:00 naira.

A brand new SLS AMG was 75million as at two months in Lagos. A G63 AMG is not less than 35million. OP used 199 as exchange rate, didnt factor in the ridiculous custom duties (between 4-20m) each of these cars are charged at the port and seller's margin.

Good to know you were able to get the seeds. Like Prof P advised plant them asap. Best of luck.

Just a footnote regarding Dizengoff kits:
They will NOT give you 5 tonnes or close. (VERIFIED)


We should discuss at some point the use of Greenhouses in Nigeria.
Which are better for this region? Nethouses or greenhouses??
Unfortunately, some of us have to learn the hard way because there's either no research or access to research information regarding these issues.

This is interesting. I was planning to get one from Dizengoff then replicate it. Their Lagos and Ibadan offces gave two different prices for the same 8mx24m kit, 1.5m and 2.1m respectively with installation.

My experiment with the beetroot seeds gotten from Shoprite. Germination rate is very good. Next experiment will be the squash seeds.

Agriculture / Re: Can One Get Pepino Melon Locally. by autofreak1(m): 6:53pm On May 10, 2016
@Pavore

Each pack sells for N330 (for any of the plants and fruits). Really cheap I think.

Is technisem Nigeria not stocking beetroot and squash seeds?

Funny thing is Shoprite at the Ikeja mall now sells seeds from SA. I got cucumber, coriander, beetroot and squash seeds last week. I have planted the beetroot but here is a picture of the squash and coriander seeds. Also a picture of the shelf at the mall.

dragnet:

how about Volkswagen's beetle and vanagon bus? with 2 cylinders on each side of the engine block.

These VW engines are referred to as H4 or flat 4. The pistons and cylinders are arranged horizontally hence the "H" or "Flat" term.

Picture shows an example of a Flat 4 or H4. You can see it actually has the "H" shape.

keyzid:

Nothiing like V4. Might just be a 4-cylinder engine lined up together. We may have l4, V6, l6, V8, V12, or W16.

Bless you bro. People need to stop using the term v4. The V is just how the cylinders are arranged. If arranged on a straight line (in line) like all 4 cylinders engine, why then do we refer to it as V4?

Pictures below shows an i4/inline 4 (not v4) and v6 (two inline 3 at an angle to form a V shape). Then the big V12 kiss

Car Talk / Re: The 2016 Mercedes-benz-glc-coupeĢ Picture Review by autofreak1(m): 9:20pm On Apr 08, 2016
Guys read up on what is now termed as Coupe here. It doesn't always mean two doors anymore. I think the shape and streamlining of the roofline is more of a determinant than the number of doors these days. An example is the CLS as posted by Readonee35L. The VW Passat CC (comfort coupe) is another example of a 4 door coupe.

It definitely is Denn's bug and its good news to know that your beautiful baby would be up and running in no time.

My fairlady is good to hit the roads again.

ba7man:
Pls How long is the show running?
I'd like to catch up on a couple of days..... wouldn't want to totally miss out on this.

It ran for 2 days only. 2nd and 3rd of April.

That Bug belongs to Denn I guess,

I don't think that is Denn's bug. I just went through his post on his bug and it has no rear bumper and his seats ain't red and black.

dumo1:
autofreak1 is that a Bentley limousine I see up there?
who was the owner of the mercedes benz 219 and really sorry you weren't able to showcase your Nissan 350z fairlady

Yea, that's a Bentley limo right there. The 219 belongs to fashion designer Mudi. I'm happy nothing got damaged in my 350z asides the stiff steering and battery that went dead when I got to my brother's crib. It will be up and running in no time.

Some cars didn't get any attention. There was this white Nissan 350z convertible that looked like an abandoned vehicle, it had a flat tyre also. Owner didnt keep it in good condition at all. I went with mine on day 2 but my alternator/power steering pump belt came off on 3rd mainland bridge on my way to the venue so I couldn't display it.

This Saab 9-5 too didn't get much attention.

BlackJo:
Absolutely Beautiful my brother. .... a 500E. We're you able to get its price tag?
And that beautiful harley davidson bike, any chance you could get the particular model name and price too. Thanks man

@BlackJo, the 500E isn't for sale. It's owned by a collector and in an almost brand new condition.
Most of the cars and bikes on display are owned by individuals except the SLS, G63 and Black Challenger. There were two Harleys present, a V-Rod and an Electra Glide.
I couldn't get clear pics of the interiors because most of the cars were locked. It was pretty dusty so you can't blame the owners.

Bossforeva:
500E is the baddest V-boot.
That Bug belongs to Denn I guess, The 504 to Mudi, and the Mr. Andy's popular Challenger.
His Friend owns the latest Mustang, wasn't it at the show?

Really? It didnt click that the Bug was Denn's. Mudi owns the Mercedes 219 too. Andy is a friend to my big brother. Dude really loves his 6.1 Hemi. The Mustang didn't show up. Couple of cars didn't due to logistic issues.
