Thanks PeachParts for Friends... I think I'm going to need a bigger driveway.

This is the current status of my driveway, Currently TurboBenz is working on expandin the driveway looks like we are going to need it.




Silver is TurboBenz, Baige is Me, and White is iwrock.

iwrock has his car stashed at my house because it seems having 4 MBs at his house is to much for the HOA, so the 5th one is at my house. And now TurboBenz is my roommate. Who would have thought all this would have happend when I got the SD from my grandmother.

Looks like if you bring all of the W126's right up to the garage door you can cram a few W201's to fill the driveway void up to the curb.

There's currently three W126's, one W123, and one W201 at my parents house....and if my wife and I both drive there separately then we have 7 MB's out front. The neighbors think we are insane. Excellent.

I've got you beat by a few. Just got an 85 SD today for $350 to match the 85 SD I got last weekend for free. They go nicely with the 2 wagons, 2 240D's, and the euro 300D. I think old Mercedes' may be a sickness!!! When I get up to 10 I'm gonna have to change my username to 10benz!!

This was February 2009.



Since then, I've bought 7 more, sold 11. Plus 2 Jeeps (sold), and currently have a Yukon Denali, Miata, and Cadillac STS.

Wonderful collection

I definitely think the 124 is my favorite....but probably because I am young (no bias that I have two that is )

Bah plenty of room, you can get a couple W201's behind them.

Remember SWB W126's are your friend in such a situation, buy SWB cars...
