Hello all. I am selling a 220 SE bonnet, grille and boot lid. They are second-hand and in very good condition. There is no rust perforation on the bonnet, grille and boot lid although there is a little surface rust on the bonnet and boot lid. The chrome on the grille is acceptable but...

Thank you, guys for your suggestions, advice and thoughts. I had it looked at yesterday and it turns out that the problem had been related to the ignition switch; a connector had become dislodged and had not been making proper contact. I have been taking it out lots - just to test it ;) and...

I sighed and through gritted teeth wailed, 'I certainly know how to pick 'em.' I have developed an intermittent fault in my SL320 - the worst kind. I took it out somewhere, parked up, switched off the engine and got out of the car. When I returned, the car wouldn't start. The starter spins...

I can well identify with your experience. My C208 (grober, would be proud of me for using 'mercedes speak') was a great car and it broke my heart in two when I let it go - even now I could cry for that car ... but my would-be tears are transformed into a beaming smile with my new modern classic...

A similar thing happened to me when I tried to upload an image here and so I cropped it in Microsoft Paint. I say "Let them wait for their porn!" ... Did I say porn? Sorry I meant to say picture. Let them wait for their picture. :D

Indeed R129s benefit from regular use - this is certainly true of all cars. It is also true to say that I benefit from using it too. All this means that I shall be opening up the garage doors and opening Him out on a daily basis and when I am not doing that, I will need to be making other...

Yes. I hear a long run calling my name now; on this dry, crisp and beautiful sunny winter's day! I'm going AWOL. :cool:

I tried to construct a post using multi-quotes but wasn't successful and so I have deleted my post - sorry,

Hello karinamcg. What a thing of beauty!! The landscape looks gorgeous as well! I wish that I could say something clever; profound even about the contrast of natural beauty and synthetic beauty - but I can't think of anything. But what I will say is that both your car and the landscape...

No, I'm not on Facebook ... for a few reasons.

Thank you. I take your point. He has done 95 000 miles - pretty decent in a car of his age I think BUT... there's no fun in having an itch that you just cannot scratch. :wallbash:

Nice car!! Nice number plate!!

Isn't he just - thank you, sir.

Hello BrianJbenz. I too am new to the forum. Like you, I'm loving a car that I recently purchased and I am also loving my time here on the Forum. Do enjoy both!

Ah, it was a C208 then - thank you.

I once drove a peugeot 205 CTi for a short while and that taught me everything about scuttle shake. If the R129 has such a thing, I'm sure I won't notice it after the pug!

Here he is. It was love at first sight!

Do not believe any woman who says that they are not interested in the size of your pipe. ;) I love the description like an orchestra - what a vivid simile!

Very nice drive! Would that be regarded as a modern classic or a future classic? Either way, it was a classic as soon as it left the factory! I cannot blame you for wishing to protect your R129 from the salt which plague the roads at this time of year.

Well, if my wit and charm isn't enough to make this thread worthwhile ...
