No he didn't impregnate my wife!

With the rest of the family-

She fits right in. I got her parked in her spot in the back corner of the garage and she will sit there until the spring.

Original engine so it is NA. Miles just turned 195k but the body and interior are in great shape. There is a thread in the Cars For Sale for more details. Needs a few things. Vac leak, brakes (may or may not be related to vac leak), slow weep from SLS, etc.

I won't drive it much. The E320 is my driver.

Great pic, nice trio you have there!

Got the BMW back, HVAC blower motor went out (well, was on the way and sitting around at Daryle's for 2 weeks did it in). Dicked around at his place until 4:00pm. Ugh, sick of cars.

Anyhow, enjoy the new ride. Btw: The grille badge is from "The Don", forgot what OBK# I am (or was) 46 ?

Guess I can't take it off then, can I? Wondered about where it was from. I put it in the back corner and it will sit there til spring. Going to get collector plates for it tomorrow.

Sorry about the troubles with your BMW.

A 1985 300TD was the one MB that I have owned and gotten rid of that I wish I had not gotten rid of.

Nice buy.

Graplr,

Great pic, nice trio you have there!

X2 to the previous acclaim!! Great color, and the lovely matching hubcaps are great too and set things off even better!

...and here I thought all Minnesota cars were rust from the door handles downafter ten years!!!

I still have mine, and still have this car.

I am OBK #55.

Dee8go's sig line proudly proclaims he is OBK #54 in the "Oil Burner Kartel".

Thanks! I really like the TD. I needed another car like I needed another hole in the head but luckily my wife is understanding and I had room in the garage.

To be fair, the TD was from Cali for 24/32 years of its life...

The E430 spent most of its life in Illinois and the E320 most of its life in WI/IL.

I guess I'm in the club by default??

Nice! I live the color combo and the matching caps (I've got a set of steel wheels and hubcaps to refinish). If it were within a day's drive I would have been all over it.

Congratulations and welcome to the Naturally Aspirated division of the OBK (#15).
