I really love this car
The threatened snow/ice/sleet didn't materialize this week so the salt trucks never came out - which means the 280SE got a reprieve on it's winter hibernation. I decided to drive her to work this morning and even though it was a solid 20 degrees in my garage she fired right up without so much as a blip. The car was nice and toasty for the entire 30 mile commute and is such a pleasure to drive.
I know the snow and salt will be here shortly; once that happens she'll be tucked safely in the garage but until I see the first salt truck or snow flake I'm going to be driving her as much as I can. |

We used to recycle old engine oil from the lube bay by spraying customers cars underneath with it. Because we lived in a coastal area ,lots of fun was to be had by driving along the beaches for fishing etc. You haven't seen salt damage until you've seen what sea water does Even spraying lots of oil under a car doesn't help much and shortens the life of every rubber part
i would think a winter car could be kept running for a few seasons by oil spraying though. it's a filthy job as you can imagine. |

mak, you're right about the 108 and 109, but I think Thorsen's talking about his 116
I've been around here too long... Regards, David

Correct, she's a 116 but I agree the 108 and 109 are beautiful cars.
