A couple of months ago, when I first bought my Mercedes, quite a lot of people said to me "Mercedes? What on earth do you want one of those for?"
One of the reasons I gave was that they were a little less common than all the Mondeos, Vectras, etc that you see day-in day-out on the road. By no means am I implying they are unique, but in the 2 months I have owned my car, I have seen 1 other 124 coupe...
Well, this lunch time I was walking back to work along the main road, and a procession of no less than TWELVE Mondeos drove past me, one after another (with a break in the middle coming in the form of a 206 and a Lexus). Each one had a man in a suit driving, and only 2 of them had a passenger. The only Mercedes I saw on my journey came in the form of a Sprinter van.
If I had a camera with me, I would have rested my case.
Just thought I'd share this observation, as it certainly made me smirk.
