Have always been - and always will be - a fan of Sacco-era Mercedes, but after a whole succession of W201s and W124s, I've now defected to a car that I've lusted after for a long time. Got there by way of X1/9 and supercharged MR2 Mk1... this old thing:
For some weird reason, I bought two:
Although driving them is chalk/cheese compared to the W201/W124s (the silver one even has keep-fit steering!), there are many of the same qualities in the way this car was built. And I rather like the symmetry that Senna as a young driver showed what he could do in the 16V W201 and then later had a hand in tuning the chassis of this one.
Anyways, I still pop in here form time to time, and if you see some idiot waving at you in your W124/W126/W201/R107 from a low slung Honda, it'll be me.
