This sort of stuff used to happen from time to time when I had my ice blue w116 300sd. The euro headlamps and Mille Miglia alloys I had on it helped, I think.

Carmakers take note: chicks dig chrome. Regardless of what the pencilnecks in your research department tell ya....

I've been fixing up my newly acquired 300d. This means it has an off-colour front fender and off-colour and slightly rusty door on the RHS. Not attractive, you say?

It was also missing its hood star. Until Friday night, at least. Then, from Saturday morning onward, I started getting noticed. Teenagers gave me the thumbs-up in the McDonalds drive thru. Twice.

People gave the car long looks when the crossed in front of me at stoplights.

Wow. That star means more than I imagined
