New episode of Top Gear, W123 driven across Africa!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9KxU6lRm_U
Its an hour long, so sit back and enjoy. The W123 and VW Beetle totally PWN the other's.  Not to mention its a funny show! When they get water in their cars and need to drain it they shoot the floors!

Youtube is a PITA, usualy people repost.
Everytime a new episode of Bleach comes out Youtube goes nuts and yanks it down, but for every one they yank down 10 get posted. After a few hours they say F it and give up.

Watched the whole thing and it is absolutely amazing, what these cars put up with! Don't know what it proved though?

Just finished watching it all. Wow. I was impressed by the opel and the MB (and the beetle, but thats a given). That W123 took a REAL beating and kept going. Like he mentioned at the end, it needed not much more than a sparkplug on the whole trip.
I bet with Rally tires and a locked rear diff, it'd have done it with little to no modification.

I have always wanted to see a w123 in Top Gear, and I guess that clip was well worth the hours of downloading (thanks Zedd
 ). Amazing to see that car rallying even in today's condition (the Carlsson coupe that was heavily modified was fairly new) and still make it despite the beating it took. Too bad they had to chop it up but I guess that's part of the fun these guys have.Initially I was hoping they'd do some sort of retro review like the BMW e12/e28 vs the MB w123, and/or the Volvo of similar time frames just for kicks. This reminds me of James May's review of the w123 too, for sure he had to drive the 230E.
