If that's still available, I might know someone interested. Anyone remember?

Good job Tyler. I think folks that buy cars from you are in for a very pleasant surprise. Amazing how far the Defiant came from it's wire wheel days.
Now, isn't there a CD somewhere that is whispering your name?
You just don't seem like a W126 guy to me. Can't really quantify that, just a feeling........

The only thing that car whispers now is 'put me out of my misery'.

My driveway is best configured for 5 cars, anyway. With 6, I was always shuffling things around to get the car out that I wanted.

I want to keep my attention focused on Trigger, and stick to one project at a time, unless an amazing deal pops up.

Did you ever repair the damage on the E320?

W126's are awesome. I think W123's feel kinda primitive....rugged, but primitive.

Gotta get a W126! Going to go diesel or gasser?

I'm envious ... my driveway is only configured for one car. But that's no excuse ... you just need to find somebody else's driveway to park your additional cars in.

The damage was contained to my new AMG wheels mostly. I'm left with a slight vibrations at speeds over 70, and a scuff on the front bumper. Since I use Excelsior for city use only, the vibration is almost never an issue.

I just want to start with really, really nice, sorted car for once, but I don't plan on purchasing anything soon. Emphasis on plan.

Wasn't the whole suspension/control arm etc....bent? It sure looked that way in the photos......

If it works for city driving I suppose its not a big deal.

I don't even have a driveway.....I have a "parking space" and the street....and no garage.

You needed the humor that night, huh? It's weird what some of us do for entertainment. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I've cooked up in my ........PAST.

or
I'm not for sure which face to put here.




Maybe?
