The SEC never happened. 16 years ago when I bought my first W202 I looked at several SEC's around the 8 to 10 grand mark and at the time they were probably just as good if not better than the one in this thread. Due to having a new born the SEC just wasn't practical. So since then I've had 20...

If it's the my mates SLC you mean, it was green with a lighter green velour interior, seventiestastic 😁 He had a few pulley based issues when he started driving it daily and was only getting 8 mpg !!!! I haven't spoke to him in a couple of years so don't know if it's still going (it was the...

A quote from a different thread but my answer would be "Only because Bruce is no longer here"

Always think of Bruce when I hear of any humorously calamitous act in the locale .....

Not a W126 though. The first actual car that I ever drove (illegally, don't tell my Dad 😁) was a W126 and hopefully when the time comes a W126 will be my last, seeing me through retirement ! The first car I ever drove legally was a W140 but didn't really like it compared to the W126 and have...

I don't have the time or money to get involved with anything like that currently. But in the next 5 to 10 years I will be getting a Trust Fund come up and a likely inheritance so will get a C126 then. But shock horror probably will get it electric converted as hopefully by then it will be more...

Hence the use of my words "visible rust" 😁

I had the opportunity to buy a low mileage visible rust free 380 SLC for less than 5 grand a few years ago off a mate. I didn't buy it because I always promised myself a SEC :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: In the space of 3 years it's probably tripled in value and it's now being used a ULEZ...

Guilty as fook 😁

Welcome to my life 😁

The paper that money was printed on that I was talking about was just a clever innovative invention like any other and then the rights to use it were leased on to other countries because it was better than what they had at the time. Definitely nothing to do the current £hite state of the country 😁

I could be getting it completely wrong but was it not a Polish Family that owned the rights to the actual "Paper" that money used to be printed on. It probably follows that they have expertise and have now moved into other but similar areas in these plastic cash days ?

Sadly ironic and bloody typical at the same time was back in my younger days when I had hair and was slightly buff, the only times I ever got "invited in 😉" was when I was delivering for the Bromley Mental Health Team :doh:

I'm a certain age now so "confessions" would be more suitable tag line for the beefy young blokes who I work with (it does happen 😜) I generally meet all the nutters. I couldn't write a book of my encounters but a maybe mildly interesting pamphlet 😁

So just because you are old doesn't mean you have to be a Grunter ............ So got caught in the insane flash monsoons of yesterday. So sheltering in the canopy of a block of flats there's me, a old bloke probably in his late 80s with cripple sticks and a "amply" blessed young lady, despite...

From the out of date today special bin at my works on site shop Bit of a mish mash but: M & S Scampi Sainsbury's Chicken Pakora Cheese and Bacon Potato Skins Cheese Pin Wheels All for less than 4 quid 😁

Imagine peeling back the tin foil in your hat to find made in China underneath, brain melt Although I personally would be more concerned if it said made in Britain 😁

I counted / smelled at least 10 cars / vans / pick ups wafting plumes of wacky baccie on my round today and fook all was done about it, driving around with complete impunity. So I think the chances of anyone being done for emission faffing about withs is highly unlikely

The 2 piece later AMG ones do not have a cracking issue. The 2 piece BBS "Uglies" (can't be ar£ed to look up the correct name of them) that are on the silver arrow and what I had suffer from extreme corrosion between the "pieces" and can "crack" when pressed apart for refurbishment. A completely...
