Good to see that the w123's got the recognition they deserve as bullet proof cars.

IF my wife said get RID of all my M-B's except one, I would keep my 1983 4 speed 240D. Goodbye 280sl ,goodbye 350sdl, goodbye 280S....

Don, that was a damned good one.


To all those who say to get rid of the wife? Remember who does the laundry and brings you beers while you swear and break your knuckles in the garage because you didn't go get the larger torque wrench that you probably should have been using in the first place? Not to mention, sex is fun, and when you're (happilly) married you don't have to worry about HIV. Sounds like a pretty solid deal to me.
