I'd like to see a photo.

She's 'pin-up' worthy.

We should put money into the kitty, buy a new MB, and have a cannonball run for it!

You need to update your signature. She must have more than 500,000 miles now.

I should be to 200,00mi by the end of march.

I finally got a chance to fix it, so I havent driven it much in two months, but it has 501,600 right now.

The tranny was rebuilt about 200k miles ago. The engine is original. I rolled in a new timing chain summer 04, new guides, tensioners, etc. All the suspension I rebuilt as well.

He's posted pics before, either here or on www.500e.com. I don't know how easy it'd be to find them if you tried a search.

It is red, and he has bigger wheels on it.

I love the smell of diesel smoke in my hair

mine is on 260k and from what the previous owner told me it never stopped on her and the original owners paper work never showed any work for the odometer.. but the clock is dead..

Even 260k is a nice strech for an odometer.

My old 190-D is at 565K miles and still running well. Engine rebuilt at 275K? rest of driveline never majored as far as I can tell. Everything works (A/C, clock, etc.) except passenger front window goes down but not up without help. Shows less than normal rash on original paint/interior.

Come on you have got to be kidding!?!?! Give us a pic of it.
