w124 Tow Bar

[kiwi_bloke]

Hi guys,

Have found a tow bar off of a 1988 300E. I am presuming that this tow bar will fit straight onto a 1993 280E - Both W124's. Would I be right?

I know a kiwi is a New Zealander, but what does that imply? For example, I can call someone a redneck, and that would imply that he's from the South, but the hidden conotation would be that's a bit ignorant too.

Just curious as to any hidden conotations regarding "kiwis".

My second question is, the tow bar is a genuine merc bar, is it something that can be fitted DIY - what is involved?

There is a certain amount of rivalry between aussies and kiwis (i think thats where hes comeing from). I could probably liken that to americans and canadians? Bassically we like to wind each other up. Among some of the jokes are kiwis using velcro gloves on sheep....and the same for aussies except change sheep for kangaroo!

We also like to imply (ever so subtly that each is a little slow minded) lol

All in good fun tho.
