My new car.

I got this one last fall.



I paid for it with a '92 300TE 4matic.



It needs some work but nothing i haven't seen before.

Very nice. Would I be correct in assuming that the car was owned by a girl who's fathers name was Peter? Or that an individual of that name considered this car to be his daughter?

- Peter.

Actually neither: Typical of Icelandic surnames. They go on for generations.

--s"son" is more commonly seen than --s"dottir" in my experience.

A 600SEL? Nice.

Out of curiosity, what's the parts situation for these cars like in Iceland? Are they hard to get?

They are no problem to find but very expensive. I import everything myself from USA. I own a small spare parts retail company.
