Guys

We were talking at work about cars and what would be their human equivalent and I described an RS Focus as a Chav wearing Burberry. This upset the owner a little and I was asked what be my human for my Coupe. I said Joan Collins for the following reasons.

1) Expensive Looking and Desirable (20 years ago)
2) Reasonably Racey
3) Old Men always comment on my car in petrol Stations
4) Scrubs up quite well with a good wash and looks quite nice from a distance


Would any W124 Owners care to add to the list????

Desirable (20 years ago)

I think is even more now
Anyone can go and buy a new car,but not anyone can have a fresh looking old one

Joan or the Coupe?

Joan Collins?!!

The W124 has never starred in some hideous 80s bonkbusting soap opera. The shame, it makes me feel unclean.

How could you?

And what they look like now after a couple of facelifts:

Dont worry, you have an estate now. Feel free to suggest an alternative for your wagon, as long as it isnt Audrey Forbes Hamilton.

For reasons of absolute pleasure, plus a little maturity with style I would liken my 124 Estate to Dame Judi Dench.
My 24v Saloon to Jamie Lee Curtis.
My12v Saloon to Nora Batty.
For gender equality. Which puts a whole new spin on the work ethic.
The Estate. Dan Blocker
24v Saloon. John Bon Jovi.
12v Saloon. Billy Two Rivers.

Brünnhilde

The feistiest, bravest daughter of Wotan King of the Gods, condemned to sleep surrounded by the magical fire kindled by Loge at the command of Wotan for disobedience. Amply, comfortably built, her duet with Wotan at the end of the Valkyries is like the sound of the W124 engine, melodious, inspiring, powerful and sustained.

Joan Collins, pfaff!

Ride of the Valkaries reminds me of - School Assemblies. Probably the only time I ever heard "Classical Music"
