That’s the stuff! The days of HO/RT1 forms and seven-day fixit notices. Paper insurance docs that were somewhat similar to the actual policy There were proper traffic cops though, who really knew their stuff, and we respected them for it.

Ooooh yes. I remember a guy who put a 302 smallblock in a Mk2 GT, it was so well done it looked factory. You’d never think he’d done it at home.

An old seatbelt, scaffold tube, and a couple of lads, you’d do a Kent or Pinto engine swap by lunchtime, back out that evening for jolly japes!

If you lived in West London instead of NE England, you might have been the bloke I sold it to because that's exactly how he got the engine out

After much deliberation and searching for the right vehicle, my daughter took delivery of her 2016 C220d Coupė AMG Line Night Edition
Absolutely proud as punch of her that shes worked her butt off to be able to buy such a lovely motor.

Full service history, 76k Maxton front splitter and rear diffuser with AMG quad tips along with AMG alloys.

Its everything she ever wanted, the driveway looks quite posh now alongside our S205 AMG Line Premium Plus ( soon to add a CLS350 as well for me when i can decide )

This is like one of those photo perception things , but when I looked at the thumbnail of the last photo , I saw the 'smiling' face of a black dog , framed within a round face , complete with reddish eyes , and the two forelegs projecting downwards below the head .

All in the eye of the beholder .

I just had to go back and have another look ... gotcha! Reminded me of Roland Rat

A bit late to the party I know, but a newbie and all that, have to say that is one stonking Mercedes your daughter has got herself, an absolute beauty alright. Work hard play hard and miles of smiles coming her way with that sweet dream for sure, good on her and you are right to be proud, that's some achievement right there.
