Curious... was it a W124 or a 201? If it was a 124 E300D, I'd have started kicking her for kicking such a rare, beautiful car.

I had the same problem when I let my friend drive my 300D the day I got it. It'd been sitting for a couple of hours, but sure enough he went straight into cranking and 2 seconds later it fired right up. Tried to explain glowplugs and he said "uh huh ooh look a hood badge". At that point I made the decision not to let him cold-start the car. Ever.
