If i called my missus a grey goose i would expect a severe beating with a wet lettuce leaf.
Yup, I remember them. IMO better than the present system. At least, with an auto, it gave your left foot something to do.

As illustrated by the fact that my entry-level 1999 A-Class had just about all the stuff that Red_C220's lists for his range-topping 560SEC just nine years earlier (apart from the rear blind, twin horns and a roll-top for the centre console).

My old C55 had every possible Merc factory extra on it - linguatronic, rear blind, tyre pressure monitor, fire extinguisher, rear side airbags, BEM, HK, luxury climate, Comand, parktronic, parameter steering etc. Not seen one with all of that on it again, but most are well-equipped and advertised as 'fully loaded' or something to that effect...

When I was looking for my first E-Class 4 year ago, I came across a 2003 E220 CDI Avantgarde that had; heated/cooled seats, memory seats driver & passenger, dynamic seats, parking sensors, comand/tv, rear heated seats, full amg kit, rear blinds, that's all I can remember. I'm sure it had a 10 CD Changer but I didn't think they did them on that year.
My friends 2004 639 Vito 115 has every optional extra, although the list isn't too exhaustive on those.
I would love to see how much a new W212 350 CDi would cost if you ticked every option.

my s600 has only one thing missing, which seems standard on most s600 and that is the rear climate control. It doesnt have the twin seats also and ski rack but it cant because the fridge is there.
Apart from that when i look at the parkers guide is everything ticked.
orginal bill is for £112,995
But you can have the designo i think which is more exclusive than the exclusive leather package i suppose.

Nope, I'd have preferred one to the HK if I was speccing it from new.

Do you old timers remember cars that had the tear-drop indicator switch in the middle of the dash. I remember them as a kid, because as a kid it was my job to operate it. But no idea what car. You had to twist to the left or right depending which side you wanted to operate, and then move it back to cancel.
The next first car I remember that had what we now consider normal, a stalk self cancelling indicator on the column. Now that was luxury and compared to what we now take for granted, it was pure magic.

I'm only 39, but my first car was a 1978 Ford Fiesta, which had a floor-mounted footpump to operate the windscreen washers. Not a footswitch for a pump - it was the pump, a little plastic bellows. Brilliant bit of design, as you could choose how fiercely to squirt depending on road speed and which bit of windscreen you wanted to clean.
That car definitely didn't fall into the "fully loaded" category. It had front head rests, but that was about it.

I believe the only two options my car is missing is Parking sensors which I’m not to bothered about, don't like holes in my bumper anyway.
And electric rear blinds ohh ohh and fire extinguisher...
Otherwise it has everything else from lingutronic to Command, heated seats, Parameter steering, luxury climate control, H/K sound system etc, etc...

I remember them well, if you did not turn them off they would continue to flash. Our first car(when I was a lad) had the old style indicators that did not flash and were just a small illuminated hand that dropped down out of the a frame. If you were lucky it went back again. A rear screen heater was an extra,we used an after market affair that was like a small electric fire that was held in place with two rubber suction pads. The only trouble was the heat dried out the suction pads and the heater dropped off,what would elf and safety have to say.
