WOW !!!

My dyslexia even amazes me !!

I think that I was in such a state of disbelief over the picture of that transformed (W124) I lost all concept of being literate.

Fashion statement, right? My comments weren't meant to offend anyone, but what about those silly fur hats that they wear. Yes, I know they can be warm, but they are extremely ugly IMHO.

And how is that worse than Erebuni 210 upgrade for 124 ?
They probably managed to sell it to some one as an S class too !

Speaking of Russian mods... heart a story in Russian MB shop in
Brooklyn. Some not very bright individual bought a S500 from a local Russian lot (or so the emblem on the trunk said). Brought it to the shop to check if everything is ok with it right away. After a long loughter, guys at the shop told him that he is defenately missing two cilenders.
Car was a rebadged 320. Not knowing much about cars he was under impression that it was 500 and a dealer just went with it.

True, true !!

The funniest time I have ever saw one of those hats used was in Seinfeld. George bought it on Elaine's company card & he left it @ some chix house. He looked too funny wearing it.

I have heard that those hats are extremely warm !!

The hat (Ushanka sp?) is a military hat and you don't walk down the streets of Moscow or Kiev and see anyone wearing these unless they are in the military. Both of these particular cities are very into the fashon trend and most people would not be caught dead wearing one of those hats, except of course the tourist!

As for the cars...don't stereotype Russians or Ukrainians, as some of the best, highly modified Mercedes I have ever seen were in Moscow and Kiev. I have seen more AMG and Brabus prepped Mercedes in Kiev then here in the US.

The majority of the Mercedes are stock and are very clean, you don't see allot of older Mercedes (it does not make a fashon statement to drive a old Mercedes) and most are all stock. You don't see rice or riced out Mercedes like this one, but you will see allot of beater Ladas and several other Russian made types. Although they look like beaters and are very cheap, they do run very well and work well in the snow.

I think this particular Mercedes is an exception to the traditional Russian standard of vehicle modification and ownership.

yes here a lot of people like to debadge their cars as s500 or å430. and a lot of people would prefer to have W210 E200 instead of W124 E320 or 420 and this is in most cases not because of the fuel economy-fuel is cheap, but just because it is newer shape and looks more expensive. When i was buying my W124 E320 auto from a guy with 106K km on the clockand made in Nov 94, the guy paid extra 8 thousand $ to get W210 E230 that is just 4 month newer (march 95) and had manual tranny and higher mileage!!!!!!

it is true we have a lot of mercs here id say much more than in any other city of europe ( cant compre to US, never been there), lots of brabus, amg and lorinser cars ( not a single renntech though). The favourite merc here is G-classe. But most people do not like to mod their cars especially lowering because of snowy winters and bad roads. And you do meet some cars wich are not lowered but lifted, and it looks really weird and makes me sick
