Sigh. As Dr. Samuel Johnson said," I wonder not that 'tis done well but that 'tis done at all!"

Oh well, it ain't my money.

What are these "rainbow" W126's you speak of?

Sounds about right for rainbow's tastes. That is a travesty of a W116 though. Who is that meant to impress???

Any guy that CAN reach gets his own oil well.

Must have something to do with camels. No, not the cigarettes....

looks like the extended the hood and trunk


I'd drive it


and its probably not a 6.9

The left front tire looks like it's cracking from UV exposure.....good luck trying to control a blowout at speed on that thing. AAA would probably dump you as a customer to have to change the spare.....or you could just BUY a tire factory to make spares.
