If at first you don't succeed,
Skydiving is not for you.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS NO

If anything can go wrong,fix it!

Yes absolutely they will be tearing down the rest of the car this afternoon.
Still another week or so and then she'll be almost like new!

W126 n00b! For the front there are 8 bolts if you pull the shocks with the bumper, 10 if you leave them on the car. 6 is correct for the rear

Thank's guy's.

Its too bad she'll be on the auction block pretty soon.She's not making the trip to Oz unfortunately,the cost of converting to R/H drive is way to costly.
