Pictures of your MB Fleet or Shop

Wondering if any of you have pics of your MB Cars and if you have a shop, post a pic

Mom's 1994 E320

The black 300SDL is my car and the rest are my Dad's. The picture of the shop is his as well.

1963? 220

1983 300 Turbo

OK, for now just one.



I wish it were my fleet, but it is where I work.

This is a rented shop where I swapped engines and trans on 2 300Ds.
An '80 and an '82. the '80 had 220k km and the '82 had 380k km.
The '82 is my wife's.
I had just bought an '84 300D, so SWMBO wanted the good motor/trans out of the '80 as "compensation" for me spending the money on the '84.

Would that be considered looking at your car through rose-colored glasses?

I get to gloat a little bit:

http://www.mbusa.com/microsite/brand/show_photo.jsp?photo=5a&type=&src=

That's our family fleet. 300E, 300SD, 420SEL, C280, C280, C240, C240, 230SLK. My wife wanted to take the family photo, and we did. Then she saw the Mercedes ads on TV and submitted the photo. Now we're famous
