<div class="bbWrapper">Hi everyone, Im new on here but a long time owner of older Benzes, most modified perhaps not to everyones taste<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /><br />
I used to have a w123 coup I saved from death and turned into a euro 'lowrider' on hydraulics, featured in Mercedes enthusiast (which probably made for some interesting discussion<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />) and Max power. I ve also owned a string of w201's, w126 and my favourite the w124.<br />
<br />
Im a techie at an M.B main dealership and have worked at an M.B specialist down under and other dealers so kinda live and breathe m.b's <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes :rolleyes:" data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /><br />
<br />
Anyway my current daily is a rather humble w124 220e which despite being one owner, low miles and absolutely mint I picked up for a pocket money due to a blown head gasket.<br />
I couldnt leave it standard so It has a fairly severe lowering job, mirror polished 8.5jx17 w211 'Ankaa' wheels with 20mm rear spacing ( yes it needed tyre stretch and arch rolling!), U.S spec boot and front bumper panel and retro window deflectors. I also swapped the blue cloth for a blue leather interior and it has facelift lights. Apart from a stainless exhaust ive just purchased off the bay thats it for now<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":o" title="Eek! :o" data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":o" /><br />
