I have bought 2 benzes in 2 weeks!

I love them! The first one i bought last week, 1985 500SEL Euro for $2300 in AMAZING condition. The second is a 1985 300D that has lots of little problems but starts and runs better then any other OM617 i have ever driven.

The 300: http://www.aww-kittah-aww.com/up/pupload/view/6578

The 500 (hydro suspension up and down): http://www.aww-kittah-aww.com/up/pupload/view/6527

Nice! I also bought 2 Benz in the last 2 weeks. The first is an '81 240D with blown motor (got it for the 4sp manual), and the second is a '79 280CE I got for parts. They were CHEAP. I'm really liking the SEL!

I was enjoying lunch at my favourite Italian joint when this septugenarian drives up in the most perfect 240D I have ever seen.The condition was breathtakingly original,Christ,it was PERFECT.Dark blue,tan MB Tex,and {so help me God}5 speed!!!!!!!

NO,it was not for sale even though I offered my '98 Albatross in trade!

Oh well,I can dream,can't I...............?

Well Carleton, if you moderate your your use of that gin and the thick thighed slut, your heart might hold out long enough for you to get another crack at that overdriver.

Uncle Tongue on Aunt Clit,....very much attention for the female plus liberal use of the Speculums and other Gynaecological implements,the women seem to thrive in the "attention"to their needs.I never knew this old gynaecologist's equipment would be so enthralling when I bought it 15 years ago.......

Well the cherry's just a damned nuisance, as am the vermouth, the bitters, and the ice on most nights.

My only advice is to avoid the Old Crow. Aside from that all bets are off.
