Your blue Mercedes certainly looked cleaner than mine under two weeks' worth of airport car park grime! smile

I still kick myself for not buying a lovely black 560SEL from the classifieds many years ago.. Think it was an '88E and was a chap on PH selling it.. Grrrr.,.

Aye.. But it was only 2k at the time.. I'd probably only get a lump of rusty metal for that money these days...

laugh I'm much the same, although the barge thread has brought a couple to the fore that have made me sit up and look. I even made an offer on the silver twin turbo one a while back, but I know that deep down, I'm a 126 fan. smile

I had a 300D W124 - only bought it cos it was a cheap swapper at work... Sort of understood it - but not for me really.. I don't think it was any better than the E34 5 Series as a motor car....

I loved my old E34 540i. smile
I've noticed that some very lovely 300 SEs come up at tempting prices. No 560 if course, but a tempting proposition for the daily rush hour crawl.

Thought you might have! hehe
No, I think you might have noticed if I was. smile I was in the ML rushing home from heathrow and gave you a quick beep as I came past, just so you were wondering 'Who the bloody hell was that?' all day. laugh

Passed you on the hard shoulder of the M1 this afternoon. I would have stopped had I not had the family in the car.

Nothing too perturbing I hope.

Should be just electrics apparently, but the AA have had a rocket and been kicked off the job! smash
