The Red Plum - Jim B's 1995 E420

Hello folks,

I had the pleasure of once again meeting up with Jim tonight and he brought with him his new toy, the '95 E420. Such a nice car! I wish my "beater" was as nice as this one was. I'm sure that V8 under the hood makes Jim smile when he unleashes all of those horses. I grabbed a couple of shots for him, I hope you like it!

Thanks Tom! Did you want me to post another thread on my W123?

G-Benz: I've seen a similar color in the newer MB's, this morning there was a C-coupe (first generation coupe - W203) in the same color, or what seemed like it. Maybe the newer cars have a more daring color options list. The color is a very conservative red. Too bad the lighting doesn't help much so I aimed for contrasty photos

Note to self: Remove lens filters before doing night car shots with lights on

My 89 300E was a similar color, but was nowhere close to the beauty of the one above.

I looked at your flicker photos from your link. Nice!

Thanks for sharing!
