The old thread was bugging out, so why not start a new one? [

Thanks much, yours doesn't look too bad either. Mine belonged to a family so filthy rich, it was their butler's car, with which he picked up kids form school and groceries. Must be rough!1985 300CD - 4/3/2005 9:11 PM
Im planning on keeping my Coupe forever also. Never sell it. One day its going to be worth something. []
BTW, I love your 280. Car looks like its new.
Seems entirely possible to me! And for those of us less englished(?) graf means count, duke would be herzog. Hehe.[AMSOIL300CDT - 4/3/2005 9:29 PM
so, if i understand right, and use a little constuctive imagination, ur car used to belong to the GRAF von Singlefingen. Graf means duke in english, for the less germanized of us here.
Yes, it certainly was a good find! The key is to take your time. I was especially looking for a US-spec 280E, which are RARE. But I find that with classic cars patience is definitely a virtue. Like I said, 5 years and change and boy have I seen some serious junk over those five years. The car now has a new RR quarter and taillight and rear bumper after an altrecation with a guardrail. It was done by a Mercedes dealer body shop who does wonderful work. I am very happy!karugs - 4/3/2005 10:21 PM
So here comes Episode 3! You guys just love our cars, don't ya? []
I took pics with my camera phone recently, also with the brake light mod a couple of weeks ago. Now I'll have to get myself a bluetooth so I can upload them...
Ike, are you sure your pics aren't 26 years old? That car looks NEW![:0] Good find! How's the power? []
Hey Tiger, does that car really have an airbag? And am I nuts or are those US-spec bumpers on a Euro-spec car?tiger_biru - 4/4/2005 2:59 AM
Entschuldigen Sie, bitte, aber ich bin ein 200 verruckt! Sehen Sie allein doch!
Now, I get it! He must think it's a BMW 320i! That would explain the Munchen decal and I'm sure he does love beer!AMSOIL300CDT - 4/4/2005 3:14 PM
ein sehr schoenes wagen, auf jedem vall. hatt es wirklich nur ein 2,0 vergasser motor? was machen sie eigentlich mit einen muenchen aufzeichen drauf? gehen sie dar hin zum bier trinken oder was? kommen sie wirklich aus indonesian? warscheins, weil sie ein "gegen-seite" steur hasst. die erste 123er das ich mit so was gesehen habe. schoene felgen auch.

Which is a very nice combination, don't you think so? [tiger_biru - 4/4/2005 5:19 PM
No flyboyike, no, you're fine, it is US-spec bumpers on a Euro-spec car allright.
