Finally, pics of my 300D

Well, nearly two months after I received it, I finally got a chance to take some pictures of my 300D. It was washed and waxed the day before, and it sure looks good... from 15 feet away though...

Looks good, though you could take more up-close pictures. If there's some blemish or scratch, that's nothing to be ashamed of. Are those wheels from a W124?

I absolutely love those wheels... look like the ones on my mom's w126. The chrome on these seems a lot more well done than the newer chrome style rims that come on new cars.

Here's more pics for you, two from the MBCA-Houston autocross in March 2005 on an unseasonably warm 85 degree day, and one from late May 2005 parked near my former school.
