He is either bipolar or just an obnoxious evening drunk.
Odd, during the day he is often OK.
Maybe a month in timeout will help, but I doubt it.....

Looks like that god-awful Camry wagon of the 90's.

Extra points for the W123 Estate for the color!!

See what I mean!

I see one at a local used car dealer. It looks very good driving by. If you want I can check it out for condition, price etc. I think tis been on the lot for a few weeks.
Also, the later MB wagon does look like the Toyota wagon. Oh, what a feeling. I think I have new respect for the Ford Fairmont my mom used to own.

I agree, it seems he is great during the day then the troll takes over at night. It will be nice to have a month of peace, and I hope the "daytime Joe" returns.

I'm curious, can someone report infractions when they're banned? Since he seems to love inciting and reporting infractionable material, I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to report Jimmy's post. I bet he's responsible for inciting 20 infractions from other members responding to his trolling, Jimmy and I included.

One thing about the W210, I kind of miss those bulbous edges around the wheel wells that the W123's have. I'm guessing the W124 does not have them also.
Just a movement from style to aerodynamics maybe.
I still can't get over the W210. I absolutely love the front end. I think that looks awesome. But the sedan and the wagon just lost something in the arse-end translation. Too bad.......

Back to regular programming and since it's civil now... let's stop staring at a Camry's arse and instead return the focus on the beloved 300TD

What a beautiful color for any W123, but especially for a wagon!! Love the hubbies always......

Weird though, has TurboDiesel badge, but pre-1980 style headrests.
I guess a Euro thing......

From a perspective of styling, I think that is a very clean good-looking car. I'm torn between the color-keyed hubcaps and the bundts.
