Thanks guys,
I am still shaking my head at how I managed to win this when jporrata's beautiful 190E 2.3-16 was also in the running, let alone all the other cars with vastly more attractive wheels than 15" steel rims with plastic covers.
Anyway, this is indeed a historic occasion, as I believe it is the first time a 190E 1.8 has ever won anything, anywhere, on any level.
I will now refer to my car as "the award winning 190E 1.8".
I will also celebrate this win by filming a 0-100km/h dash in the 1.8. (Yes, a full length feature film, possibly with intermission!)

aite, it seems like with rotm we revive it it goes on for 3 months or so and then no one has submissions and everyone has lost interest in the whole thing. as a forum do you guys think we should keep the W201 ROTM going? and those of you that vote yes how many of you are actually gonna submit something? i know many of you are thinking that their cars a beater car/DD/clunker /whatever and wont submit it for ROTM but my question is why not? your cars do not have to be garage queens or $30k resto projects or showroom cars or trailer queens to be ROTM. all and any 201 is a good candiate for ROTM no matter the condition the cars in. if theres only 1 or 2 submissions for the January ROTM, i will shut it down till next time it gets brought up.
As the owner of the award-winning 190E 1.8 with it's ROTM-winning 15" grey plastic wheel covers and factory cassette player, I'd say everyone should consider entering ROTM regardless of how ordinary they think their Benz may be. However, those entries for ROTM that didn't win should carry over for next month. This would avoid the owner of the great car that just missed out feeling disheartened and not resubmitting next month.
I'd also suggest that people should feel open to nominating someone else's car, particularly if there's a great collection of photographs of it already floating around. Eg, I might nominate lomtevas' 8V 2.3, if only because it's painted such a nice colour.
Or jporrata's 2.3-16, because for me that thing's gotta win ROTM some time for being such a really nice car.

They always tell the ugly girls to try out for cheerleading because it's not all about the looks. Have you ever seen an ugly cheer captain? Nope, it's always the prettiest and most popular girl at school.
I know my ugly little black smoke belching diesel doesn't have a chance but I wanted to lift her spirits telling her she has a chance amongst all those other "bitches".

Disregard that statement; too much static from others about the whole situation.
ETA: Will, what kind of camera do you use?
